Don’t let distractions take you away from your mission.
It is so easy to let distractions take you away from your mission.
Everything and everybody seems out there to take you away from what you want to accomplish in life. In fact, even those whose well-being depends on you will knowingly or unknowlingly want to distract you from your ”business.”
The number one distraction is your mind. It is often talking to you, steering you away by repeating the negative comments you have learned in the world which serve only to subvert what you truly wish to accomplish. Do this, no, do that, no I like that better….it goes on and on.
Your varied interests are distractions to you as well.
You want to write your book, but want to go to the football game or hang out with friends. You want to go to the gym, but you would rather sit and watch a movie with your spouse or significant other. The list is long.
Distractions serve only one purpose, and that is to keep you from moving forward. To stop distracting yourself you must close off all things that water down your resolve and take you away from what you want to do.
Sometimes it isn’t easy to do, and sometimes it means hard choices. It seems that when we are free lance, that what we want can be put anywhere in our schedule. It can’t. We must put it first, and force everything else in our lives wait for it’s turn.
To say YES to yourself and your mission, you must say NO to distractions.
