The Law of Distraction

We live in an era where we are constantly bombarded by information, advertising and noise through a plethora of stimuli. Sadly those that have given up television or boast about getting rid of cable aren’t so special anymore; simply because you take in media today through a handheld device, a tablet device or a desktop device that has simply replaced the television. We are constantly being taken off task, ever being distracted from the daily things that will surely get us to where we want to go.

You don’t need to be at home on the couch to disengage from the world – you simply need to pick up your phone and browse media. Because of this coupled with zero focus on [and] obsession with 2017 goals we have the perfect recipe for why almost everybody does almost enough but not quite enough to succeed.

Someone once told me that your thoughts become your words, your repeated words become your actions, your repeated actions become your habits and your repeated habits form your character which will ultimately determine where you end up in life.

What are we allowing to dominate our thoughts? For most, isn’t it our problems? And do you think most people spend their time obsessing over solutions to their problems or further stressing and trying to escape them?

I’ll save the writing down goals daily multiple times a day and the effect it has for another article but here’s a critical thinking question I’ve been drilling my team with…

How many times did I touch my phone today for something other than creating my dream life?

What if every time you touched your phone you wrote down your top 3 goals for 2017?

Do you think repeatedly doing it would have an effect on your thoughts, words, actions and habits?

Either we are in control of us or we are victims of the circumstances around us. Ether we dominate our thoughts with our goals or we are robbed of our dream life by the Law of Distraction.

The quality of your life is inversely proportional to the number of distractions you have in your life. ~ Anil Gupta

Killing Time

Killing time… I cringe at the words. The only true currency of the world is time and rather seeking to multiply it we are wasting it.

We can always go and make more money and things can be replaced but time is always moving and either we are using it to grow or we are dying. I’ve discovered a way of extending time and I’d like to share 3 ways in which to do so with some practical applications.

• wake up early.

By rising early (beating the sun up) you can add years of productivity to your life. You can actually live instead of existing. To be able to do this you MUST go to bed early at a pre-set time or you will break you body.

• be aware of where every moment of time is going and account for it.

Awareness is key to profitability. Have every moment of your day accounted for – meaning you should have no white space or free time. Fill it with something by keeping a physical calendar and be ruthless with your schedule. Schedule family time, play time, learn time, write time, in-fact schedule anything thats important to you and respect it enough to not distract yourself from it. What can you say no to? And what will you think about repeatedly? Focus on small tasks in limited time slots with measurable, achievable results; then bang them out.

• duplicate yourself by building people to multiply time.

This last one is the hardest because it requires us to ask for help and invest our time in others. Be it an assistant or our spouse or children. Together we can accomplish more than we ever could on our own. Do not be afraid of pouring yourself into others. The productivity payoff can be limitless even though in the moment it may seem faster to do everything yourself. Be patient and keep the bigger picture in view. I’m reminded of a Chinese Proverb:

If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.

TIME – Invest it, grow it, collapse it and be great!

God love you!
