Well I looked up one day and found that I was 48 years old and had not even began to touch the passions that are deep within me. I at times found myself depressed, fearful, over eating, etc. Those things just mentioned are just surnames to a main culprit called DISTRACTIONS. Let me show you how.
I checked Dictionary.com for the definition of distract and distraction and when I looked at what it meant then I was able to label it with the things that have kind of captured my attention and ultimately moved the direction of my focus.
DISTRACT (Verb)
to draw away or divert, as the mind or attention
to disturb or trouble greatly in mind; beset
to separate or divide by dissension or strife.
DISTRACTIONS (noun)
that which distracts, divides the attention, or prevents concentration
division or disorder caused by dissension; tumult.
Now isn't it amazing that the things that take us off the course of the desired end or take us out of our God given purpose, are things that bewilder, agitate, cause pain, torment us, or even causes distress.
It is a must that we recognize the name attached to the distraction, be it sickness (distraction), lost of a relationship (distraction), slothfulness (distraction), and there are many other distractions that many of you know their name. Yet the truth to knowing the name of those distractions actually give you an edge. Knowing what they are allows you the opportunity to strategically position yourself, your thoughts, and actions so that as distractions come you can say NO to them.
Clear the Landing strip of negativity from your mind so that all the the empowering thoughts of encouragement that have been hovering can land.
