What is focus?
the dictionary defines focus as:
Selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things.
Focus needs concentration meaning you need more effort on doing one thing. focusing on one thing, ignoring other things.
Focus is just Following one course until successful.....
because without focus you'll never achieve what you want/desire in life.
But be careful where you shift your attention because it is what you want you to need to focus but not where you were or where you are.
Winston Churchill, quote this:
"You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every Dog that barks"
Meaning you'll never get there if you keep distracting yourself. Because the enemy of Focus is Distraction.

have you seen Kobe Bryant played, if you've seen him play? you know what is the meaning of focus because of in spite of all the adversity and mockery.
He never let himself get distracted from his Goal, and that is to be the BEST in the league. that is why you see him challenging the greats and the young blood.
However, for me the opposite of Focus is procrastination.
maybe at this point, you are curious why.
okay, let me tell you why? Because procrastination is the opposite of Focus and not Distraction.
Distraction is just speed bumps, meaning it slows you down but you are still moving. Correct?
Let me give you an Example, imagine you are in a movie but you get distracted because someone in the theater is laughing hard so it shifts your attention from the widescreen to that person. You asked the person politely to keep quiet. so he did. and you still finished the movie and that is distraction.
Now, Procrastination doesn't slow you down but let you defer doing what you need to do in order to achieve your GOAL. correct?
Tim Urban said in his talk that all of us procrastinated at some point. even those who we look up to. but it doesn't stop them there because procrastination for is something Good. It makes you gather your thoughts and attention that there is urgency in doing what you need to do.
and what matter most on doing something is Today.
