As an Open Water Scuba Instructor, I told my students that they had one focus – to get back to shore in one piece. That was an understatement. To return to shore in one piece meant focusing on each part of the process. These would include focusing on the dive briefing, understanding the dive plan, finding a dive buddy, assessing their qualification, experience, last dive details and confirming hand signals. The focus then moved onto checking and assembling their own equipment, watching how their buddy assembles their equipment before testing their regulators, buoyancy control device, depth gauge, air level, release clips, and any other equipment. Then the dive itself meant focusing on entry procedure, controlled decent, and once down, continual focus on buoyancy control, buddy check, depth check, air check, time check, and navigational check. Then ascent rate, decompression and exit procedure. Almost as complicated and stressful as teeing off in front of the golf club’s 19th hole. Without the focus on the small steps, the greater focus may not be achieved. This applies to our goals too. We need a sharp focus on achieving what is important in the moment, which then compounds into achieving the end goal. “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus” – Bruce Lee.
