Focus on Your Work Not on People. A motivational story with a life changing message

 Most of us don’t fail because we lack talent.  We fail because we keep watching who is watching us.

When we try to impress people, our focus breaks.

 So, stop trying to impress. Start doing what needs to be done.
People will always watch and talk. But their words do not do our work.

Sita was twenty-one years old. She lived in a small village.
There were open fields all around.

 After finishing her studies, she came back home. She wanted to help her family with farming. She also wanted to show everyone that she could work well.

In the village, people watched everything. They watched who woke up early. They watched who worked hard. They watched who took rest. Sita felt this all the time.

When she worked in the field, her hands worked. But her mind did not stay on the work. She often looked at the road.  If someone passed by, she stood straight. If people talked nearby, she stopped working to listen.

Because of this, her work suffered. She did not work steadily. Some days she hurried. Some days she delayed work. Weeds started growing in her field. They harmed the plants. Sometimes she watered the plants late. The soil became dry and cracked.

Days passed. Some plants became weak. Some dried before flowering.

Across her field, an old woman worked quietly. She came early every day. She worked without talking much. She went home on time. Her field looked green and healthy.

One day, Sita stopped working for a while. She stood still and thought. Then she understood her mistake. She was watching people too much. She was caring less about her work. She decided to change. That very moment, she made a fresh start.

 Sita tied her scarf tightly. She turned her face away from the road. She stopped caring who was watching. No listening to voices. No looking at people.

She worked without stopping. She pulled out weeds one by one. She watered each plant carefully. Time passed quietly.

When she stood up, the sun was low. She was tired. But she felt peaceful. That evening, she looked at her field. She understood the truth. The problem was not her strength. The problem was not her knowledge. The problem was her broken attention.

From the next day, Sita changed one habit. When she entered the field, she looked only at her work. Slowly, the field changed. Leaves became greener. Plants grew stronger. Work finished faster. She felt less tired.

 At the end of the season, the harvest was good. Some villagers noticed. Some did not. This time, Sita did not care. She had learned an important lesson: Fields do not grow when you watch people. Fields grow when you care for your work. From that day, Sita worked quietly. She focused only on what needed to be done.

Sita finally understood why her work had suffered earlier.
It was not because she lacked strength or skill. It was because her attention was always moving away from her work. She kept looking at people. She kept thinking about what they might say.

Most of us don’t fail because we lack talent.  We fail because we keep watching who is watching us. When we try to impress people, our focus breaks.

 So, stop trying to impress. Start doing what needs to be done.
