Distractions come in many forms. Therefore, I need to detach from a few things. I need to block out the many roadblocks that are in my way. However, they're only in my way because I allow them to be. I constantly entertain the thought of endless possibilities, because I pay close attention to detail. I need to separate what I want from what the things in my life actually represent.
Sometimes people can be in our lives for years, learning, growing, and experiencing with us. It can make us feel like they are permanent in our lives instead of seasonal. It can make us feel like we have to have those things present forever. However, I have shows I love that have gone through different seasons for years but eventually ended. I have relationships that meant everything to me and failed. I have worked jobs that I absolutely loved and eventually said, "Oh yall got me messed up and left." The last one has happened a lot actually. Lol I was crushed when Omarion went solo, when Bow Wow started dating Ciara, and when Pokemon Go started killing my phone battery. Despite all these things life still went on. I could either stay upset with these things or move forward.
What's important are the lessons we learn in life. If we hold on to things longer than we are supposed to, or pour more attention into things than we should it is then distracting. When you think about how many hours are in a day. How many of those hours are we spending on things that do not matter or do not elevate us? Have you ever been so relaxed that you asked yourself, "What am I doing?" Sometimes we get so distracted that we don't even realize we're distracted.
My challenge to you and myself is to focus on a goal you have that you've been avoiding or scared to complete. Remember you can do this! Think of it this way. If I know where I stand with myself then I should want what's best for me. I understand it can be easy to lose focus on things we want to accomplish. It's easy to say what you can't do rather than go for it. It's even easier to watch someone else do it. However, we have to make sure we are setting goals and doing what makes us happy.
Happiness depends on self. Nobody else can accomplish that for you. When you lose focus on yourself you compromise that happiness by factoring other things in your life.
Pour your energy into doing things that are productive. Don't get too wrapped up in things that aren't important and you can't control. This is a life adjustment. When you put yourself first and stop running to everyone else's rescue you realize that some relationships may fade or change! Ask yourself, are you making sacrifices that jeopardize your goals?
