For a long time, I have been distracted by many things. Life has become the light and the darkness in many shadows. It’s destructive not to see distractions as a path to our growing spirit. Days and nights have become a pattern among the people I attract, an uncertain pattern of mutual benefits and unshared interests. Although I know this, I still choose to give my time to the unrealistic side of things, knowing it will one day cease. When it comes to distractions, time stops, just like how fast it ends.
It’s the part that gets to me, how fast it ends and goes away, but not how easy it leaves the mind. Psychologists believe that distraction can be a good thing for learning under the right circumstances—namely, when you will be tested or have to perform under similarly distracting contexts. I believe distractions are part of our natural timeliness in getting us where we need to be, but when they become a pattern, we have to shift our focus to what’s not serving our purpose.
Doing the same things over and over without seeing an effective change is the way that destroys time, not that time is unaware of our significance, but the fact that time is delusional to what we want and what we don’t. To be a great person is to find a way to stop repetitive distractions. A way to find our true selves and who we are becoming. What I know is that I survived every moment, no matter the situation.
From nothing to something to everything.
