Focus....it does take effort to focus on what you want; things you want to accomplish. Call it passion or desire to achieve...whatever gets you on your path purpose. Yet why is so easy to become distracted? Even little trivial things can somehow take you away from doing things you KNOW you want to do...or need to do. I guess it takes discipline...discipline to focus. So, now, first we need to learn discipline before we can really focus. Discipline is the training of mental, moral, and physical powers, by instruction(control and exercise). So in other words, we need to be taught discipline to focus, and then practice it daily, to achieve it. God teaches us discipline through His word. Walk with God, stay in His presence and you will learn. God gives us valuable gifts of Wisdom and grace to help us on our journey. Being "good" does not come naturally, quite the contrary. It takes a real, every day, focus to stay on the path of "right" and "good". Take your eyes away, for even a moment, and see how easily we are swayed towards complacency...away from our focus. Stay in focus on God, He will help you achieve all you need to do. PTL Jeremiah 32: 17 "With God's outstretched arm, nothing is impossible."
