Don't get distracted

By -

In life, we don't always get what we want before we go through what it takes to receive what we want. This is because, to get to the next level in anything, there's always a process and a price to pay. How we navigate through the process is what ultimately determines our success. Most of the time the price to pay to get to the next level or achieve anything in life involves overcoming challenges.


Challenges are part of life and one of the ways to overcome them is to focus on what matters, which is the destination of your goals, and not on the challenge itself. Often, challenges will act as distractions and the only way to overcome such is by maintaining your focus on the goal. The goal should not be to overcome distractions but to find ways to get to your destination despite distractions because they will never cease to exist. As they say, with every level comes new devils so with every new level comes different challenges that serve the same purpose, distraction.

People fail in life and give up on their dreams when they shift their focus unknowingly from what matters to what is temporary and doesn't matter as a result of distractions. This is because they think that every problem deserves a solution or every challenge deserves attention. That can't be far from the truth but in reality, not every problem is worth solving and not every challenge is worth more of your attention than the goal being pursued. Contrary to that it's also vital to note that there are life adversities that will tend to act as signs of communication. This can only be interpreted when there's clarity of purpose or authenticity of ambition. Sometimes challenges can be signs reminding us that we are moving in the wrong direction or we are moving too fast when what we are in pursuit of requires slow strides.

We need to come to the understanding that in every pursuit of life, different types of challenges will either act as a distraction or signs of communication depending on the goal. We also have to be willing to pay the price of normalizing being comfortably uncomfortable with life adversities for us to achieve greatness. Just like everything in life happens for a reason, so do the adversities of life. When we invest our attention in the right things or the things that matter, success is always inevitable. Don't be distracted!

Introduction: The Frustrating Truth No One Likes to Admit Let’s be honest, there’s nothing more frustrating than giving your all to something you love and still not seeing the results you hoped for. You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You care deeply. So why aren’t things moving forward? Here’s a truth that’s hard to hear but even harder to ignore: you might be stuck because you’re focusing too much on what you love, and too little on what actually works. Let’s break that down.

However, it’s not yet effective. Meanwhile, there’s something else, perhaps less exciting and less inspiring, but it works . It brings in income, gets ...

Have you ever felt like the people around you are holding you back, not with their actions, but with their perception of who you are? It’s one of the quiet struggles of personal growth: outgrowing who you were while others still cling to that old version. And if you’re not careful, their limited view can start to shape how you see yourself. Let’s talk about what it really means to evolve—and why it’s okay, and sometimes necessary, to let go to grow. You Can’t Evolve in a Space That Doesn’t See Your Progress At some point, you’ll realize that you can’t move forward while staying surrounded by people who only relate to your past. Maybe you’ve healed, matured, or stepped into a new calling, but some people only remember who you were before the growth. And without even realizing it, they try to keep you boxed into an identity you’ve outgrown. Here’s The Truth: You can’t step into your next level while staying tethered to people who only recognize the old you. Growth demands more than just ...

Image by  Jaesub Kim  from  Pixaba y The Illusion of Productivity It’s easy to mistake motion for momentum.
