The power of distractions is one of the powers I fear so much and this is because of the havoc it can cause anyone on their way to success in life.
Distraction is like a cankerworm that can eat deep into someone's life and shift or derail such a person from his or her path to success.
It's on of the devices being used to shift the focus on many from doing the right things to embracing the wrong things with passion.
Like I used to tell people that distraction is a time waster and if one is not careful, the time one supposed to used to get to his or her destination can be wasted by distraction and instead of spending a stipulated amount of time, one can spend more time being distraction on his or her journey to success.
As we all know that this life is a journey, one needs to be sensitive to those things or persons that serves as distractions to them in their journey in this life. One thing I know is that, there's many things that can serve as distractions to us in life, most especially in this current stage of our lives. So, we have to be cognizant of those things wasting our life and rededicate ourselves to being focused.
Some time ago, while being focused and planning how to live my life, a friend of came and brought his own lucrative idea to me and i embraced it and that's the end of my own well planned personal dream.
My own dream was aborted in my own eyes without any stress through distraction from this particular friend of mine who came to and shifted my focus on my well planned business idea to his which i know nothing off, or even planned for.
However, I didn't flourish in what this friend of mine introduced me to and this was so disturbing and painful to me, I later changed and shifted from what he introduced me as a business idea after fruitless effort.
However, I shifted to my initially planned and I was so focused and determined to do it as formerly planned and to God be the glory, I'm thriving and flourishing in the path I have chosen for myself. Had it been I was not being distracted back then, maybe I would have gone a long way, but I still thank God for directing me to my rightful path. Although, it wasn't so easy or smooth by shifting back to my already made plan before the distraction, but with discipline and strong determination, I was able to prevail.
So, since then, I have always stayed focused and avoided distractions that may cost me my life and destiny as it has done to me in the past, if not because of the grace of God and my timely return to the path which I have chosen.
In conclusion, we should always avoid distractions as it's a weapon to our fulfillment of destiny in life, instead we should stay focused no matter what.
Thanks for reading.
