Focus on Yourself

Dichotomy of Control

One game-changer for me was learning the stoic concept of Dichotomy of Control. It distinguishes between internal and external things. When you focus on trying to manipulate external factors, like in example others’ opinions, actions and reactions, you naturally feel depressed and disempowered. By the contrary, when you focus on yourself and prioritize changing things in your locus of control, the result is a dramatic rise in your capacity to create and get things done.

Leverage your Resources

This concept is a wake up call for anyone trying to create results in life, it invites you to fully assume control of your actions, reactions, beliefs and emotions.  When you focus on yourself, you will leverage your inner resources and:

  • Discover how to influence your results in a practical and clear way.
  • Stop hoping for good things to happen to you
  • Start crafting plans and taking action towards your goals.
  • Overcome challenges and feel empowered in your environment.
  • Reveal a new level of self-reliance, peace and confidence.

Stop worrying about others

Instead of worrying about what others are doing, you will find yourself analyzing the effectiveness of your own actions. You will feel motivated to review your goals and improve your strategies because you will clearly see a cause and effect relationship between your efforts and your results.

Assume Responsibility

This is the mindset of a leader, someone who assumes full responsibility towards his life and doesn’t waste time with blaming or self-pity. An individual like this will value anything that improves his capacity to leverage his inner resources. Anything that brings awareness and consciousness, will be for him a source of power and change.

Conclusion

To get things done and achieve goals, there is no other way but to organize your life and leverage your power as much as you can, without any sense of guilt, shame, or fear. So, I invite you to reflect…

  • How do you relate to control? Are you embracing it the right way?
  • What can you let go of, in order to claim more energy?
  • Where can you focus, in order to be more efficient?
  • What things are important, but you lack power? Is there anything you can do about it?
  • Are you using your full power? Why?
