Have you ever- wondered why some people can produce more, learn faster, and achieve greater in life? of course, interest in a particular field, giving time is important. But the most important thing that plays a major role is the focus.

Being focused is a state of complete attention to the field that you want to master. How focused you are will determine how faster can you learn it. There are instances in which we see, people who are achievers are generally focused on their works. There is a role of the hormone dopamine, that makes us feel happy.

Whenever there is a feeling of achievement, the hormone dopamine gets released. Doesn’t matter if we are scoring good grades, or if we learn something, have completed our workouts, or even watching a video on Netflix. We feel good after completing any work that matters to us at the present moment.

For most people, it is easy for our minds to convince us to watch a video to feel good than to learn a skill that you can use to build great products at a later point in time. Watching a video provides instant gratification which is not in the case of learning a new skill.

Any process that is not required for our survival thus takes a sufficient amount of time and effort to master. What matters is we keep persistent while chasing our goals whether it is to learn a new skill, get a promotion, or succeed in our businesses.

Doesn’t matter if you are focused enough to get your dreams, what matters is you are trying to give time and condition your brain with examples of why and how it can achieve a certain goal. Be persistent you will develop focus with time and will excel.
