Eliminating Distractions

Typically don’t answer the phone before number but I chose to today. Had a conversation with a friend that went to the topic of football since it’s that season. We briefly discussed Colin Kapernick and he stated his opinion, as did I.

I later received a message via social media with stats from 2017-2019 about the topic, supporting his opinion.

I typically would ignore the message and move on but this time I didn’t. I responded with the post game interview and an article written by the league with quotes. After about 15 minutes, probably less, I realized “What a distraction!” This has nothing to do with why I’m in Cebu or in the country.

It’s easy to get distracted. To go off course. To stand on principle or making a point. All the while, writing is being done, books aren’t being published, and my purpose isn’t being fulfilled.

You can learn from my experience. You don’t have to walk the same path I just travelled. It’s a road to nothingness.

Today, Monday, September 23, 2019, I am grateful that:

I can spot some instances for what they are. It may seem like banter or great dialogue but if it’s not moving me forward with the reason He put me here, there really isn’t much of a point.

Beverly and I had a fulfilling conversation. We discussed several upcoming topics of interest, to her and I. We had an opportunity to confide with each other. We also offered each other insight and words of encouragement.

I realized last night I’m unable/unwilling to add any additional items to my routine. After not completing my task for the 21 day abundance meditation, I’ve decided to not deviate from my routine. It’s been working for more than two years and I’m not willing to change. I’m certain there are benefits to the exercise and I may revisit at a later time but as it sits today, I’ve developed a system that works and I’m not interested in augmenting said system.

Identify then Eliminate Your Distraction.

Be Impactful!
