How do you keep a focus on long-term goals?

• Create a list of goals. Motivation requires a targeted approach.


Be a front-runner and form mental habits now which will help you later on. Here are a couple of habits you may try to master. Here is how to keep focus on your goals:

•    Have an experiment-driven life. This is about risk, being willing to fail because you're failing forward. The more experiments you make the better. Stand up again, never be afraid of a tumble over setbacks as this is only temporarily.

•    Observe more what is going on around you. If you observe more, you learn more and you get a better view of human behavior, that gives you power. As an example, learning body language which comprises the movement of the main body (hands, posture etc.) and the facial expressions.

•    Grow an Attitude of wisdom. Be very careful to not develop the so-called competence "I know a lot about that" - You are never too old to learn. The pursuit of wisdom is one of the absolute goals of people seeking to live the good life. The Scriptures have a lot to teach us about wisdom. Always ponder your life with curiosity and openness and embrace the challenge.

•    Do what you love.  Success might wait around the corner for you.  But be careful; do not do something just because you're good at it - that doesn't mean you should do it. Do what you are passionate about. What are you born to do?" When are you the happiest?

•    Use Your Whole Brain. Master to make use of both sides of your brain together. The brain you can focus and concentrate with, and the other part of your brain is not under your direct control, the part that works on things in the background. The right side of the brain remembers the big picture; the left side of the brain recalls the details. A 2008 study at the American Institute of Behavioral Research and Technology showed that if these four core areas are developed, the brain's ability to innovate is enhanced.—The capture of new ideas, to be engaged in challenging tasks, when knowledge are broadened, and when one is surrounded by stimulating people and places.  The more you shift between both sides, the more complex a creative a thinker you can be.
