Only when you have a committed focus will you receive what you are reaching for because a committed focus is the natural result of desire - and we will always receive what we truly desire.
As soon as our mind wanders, from the task at hand to something else, our desire becomes (or is revealed to be) a mere want, a nice-to-have, no longer a need.
Stay focused. Put all else on the back burner, especially the appetites of the flesh.
This is why daily goals matter. Goals focus our desires. Then we set out with a committed, time driven focus to achieve and receive what we desire, before our mind (or heart) can drift to some other craving, longing, or selfish appetite.
So ask yourself: "What do I truly want & need (desire) today?" Then write it down with a plan of what you will do to accomplish this goal and then don't give up on that plan until you reach it, or until you find that you are not willing to pay the price because it's not worth it to you. (This is actually a good thing - because you have discovered what you thought was a deep desire is not. From this point you should focus your time and energy on what is a true desire or you can work to turn this want into a desire - we can change our desires!)
Sometimes you will need to sacrifice your will to turn a mere want into a desire because it is the right thing to do.
