Donaire's defeat

I was just watching our Filipino boxer as he fight against a Cuban boxer Rigondeaux.  He started his bout well; he's all focused and from what I've seen it, he could have finished the fight early.  But then Rigondeaux's strategy shifted into running around, evading Donaire's attacks.  He probably felt the strength of Donaire's fist so therefore, his plans shifted to evading a knockout punch.  He was successful.  He was booed by the viewers, but he didn't mind that.  He was fixed to his plan of evading Donaire, and probably tiring him and making him frustrated not to give him his knock out punch.

On that account, Donaire grew impatient.  He became frustrated and forgot about his goal:  TO WIN the match.  SO he followed this fast new boxer around the ring and would eventually be surprised by an attack from Rigondeaux which he didn't anticipated because his strategy went on to chasing him and not to attacking him.  As a result, Donaire lost.

His defeat gave me a clear message when we give in to distractions, we lose our focus, we get frustrated and we lose track of what is our goal.

Life is the same thing.  We would have our goal and we will start it fresh and right, but then distractions will face us that we didn't expect.  We would get distracted and we would get frustrated when we don't meet our goal to the timeframe we set for ourselves.

But meeting the goal is not about racing to reach it.  It is about meeting our goal no matter what and no matter when, what is important is that we reach it.

But we can always meet our goal at the right time if only we will stay focused and not get distracted in the course.  Expect that there would be distractions and we should always have plan B or even up to plan Z.  But we should never lose track of what our purpose is.

If only Donaire stayed with his plan and remain focused, he would have won the battle.  His goal is to win the match, not to chase an evading fighter. We do not want to be another Donaire.  We do not want to say to ourselves, IF ONLY....  In fact, we don't have to.  We just have to stick to our goal.

STAY FOCUS and never give in to distractions in life, DO what you are supposed to do.
