Impossible to dissuade

How do you avoid being distracted from purposeful activity? Set your sights on an objective that is more compelling than any distraction.

The momentary pleasure promised by a distraction can be highly enticing. Yet you are capable of actions that will produce far more enduring richness.

Before the thought of any particular distraction pops into your awareness, be prepared. Obliterate that distracting thought with your own vision of all you can achieve by staying focused.

Distractions can appear inevitable, and can feel like they’re controlling you, but that’s almost never the case. You are able to decide where your attention is pointed.

So be diligent about pointing that attention toward what matters, toward what benefits your life and your world. Remind yourself how much of a difference your thoughts and actions can make, and resolve to use them purposefully.

Richness and fulfillment come from focus and directed effort, regardless of what all those alluring distractions might seem to offer. Be clear about where you intend to go, and make it impossible for anything to dissuade you away from your path.
