Focus- The Energy

 

The highlight of India Australia T 20 match today was Mathew Wade’s wicket. Virat Kohli, despite dropping the catch managed to dismiss him. The initial frustration soon turned into exhilaration as we saw Wade walking out of the ground. What was my takeaway from this situation-

      Virat Kohli despite dropping the catch managed to maintain focus and dismiss Wade.

      Wade on the other hand,  assumed that he is caught and out and was already on his way out, before realizing that he still had a shot.

This for me is where the magic happens. Virat who was focused on making things work despite a bad situation persevered and got the wicket. Wade, who was also focused on maximizing the score, lost his focus when he deemed himself out and at that moment missed an opportunity.

To be focused means to be invested with all five senses. In that moment even if one of your sense goes in a different direction, chances are that you will sooner than later lose the entire battle. I have spoken in the past about purpose, journey, certainty, and vision. At the centre of each of these is Focus.

Focus doesn’t come easily, especially in this era of distraction. Even a thing like writing my blog sometimes takes the whole day because I am divided between 10 things out of which at least 5 are frivolous distractions. 

The reason I chose this topic was that for the past couple of months, I saw my family struggle with the focus like never before. Covid, Lockdown, Change, giving enough reasons for everyone in the family to be distracted. The challenge was to work together to overcome it and we did.

Have you ever wondered what will happen if you were able to reduce your distractions and focus better. How will that impact your day to day life?
