The greatest killer of dreams is distraction. A distraction is something that takes our focus off of the object of attention and onto the distraction. Most of us don’t reach our dreams because we allow unimportant things to take our eye off of what’s most important. How often do you find yourself watching a favorite TV show, surfing the net, blogging, playing video games, card games, playing with friends and on and on, all at the cost of what you truly want? These are not bad things to do. However, when they take your eye from the goal, they are like the worst poison placed ever so carefully in your Achilles heel. They seem like small insignificant things, yet as they compound over time, they take us significantly off course. Our mind has a tendency to want to chase these distractions because their reward is almost always instant. Although the reward is instant, it is fleeting and will not bring lasting fulfillment. To overcome distraction, you must focus on your end goal and be vigilant constantly. Distraction kills the law of attraction because our focus is constantly shifting. We become as a ship of the sea being tossed to and fro with the waves and wind without direction. What are your distractions? What are the unimportant things you are doing on a daily basis that take you away from your family, your business goals and anything else of import? Write them down so you recognize them when you’re doing them. Ask yourself the following questions– Are they important? Will this get me what I truly want? What am I doing?
Some words of advice; turn off the TV, spend some time with your family and do your work efficiently.
