Sustained, focused effort

Sustained focus is not easy. Yet it’s not impossible either.

You can focus on what must be done, for the amount of time necessary to do it right. Decide to make it happen, and follow through with your decision.

Commit yourself to producing the value you’re capable of delivering. Transform your potential into actual, useful reality.

See each moment as precious raw material that must be utilized when it arrives or it will be lost forever. Engage your focus to maximize the beneficial outcomes and minimize the waste.

Remain clear about the purpose you’re serving and the objectives you’ve set for yourself. Knowing why you’re doing what you do will drive you to keep going and to stay focused.

The history of the world and your personal experiences have repeatedly proven the value of effective, productive focus. Continue to generate more of the goodness that comes from sustained, focused effort.

— Ralph Marston
