Sometimes you just have to look ahead of your self for you to get a clear picture of your self, one most learn how to deal away with distractions for this is the only set back that holds a man down.

Distractions can come in defferent shapes and sizes, once you fall in for one it won't be long you will be swallowed by the others, if life was to a football match what you as a player should be consigned about is first the ball, placement of your team mates, your opponents and the goal ahead of you.

Once the game has started and you carried away by your fans, the type of stadium you in, the skin color of your opponent you will see that such a player will never get to its peak.

Distraction is never your friend try as much as possible to do away with her, for in her hands holds the the failures of life.

The biggest known form of distraction to man is known in one word and that is "MAN" ( male and female )
Because most of us would rather talk to a friend or to people in general forgetting what's really important for us to do at that moment that will actually add to our success in life.

I carried out a little statistic about successful people and guess what they all have in common no or little friends, they all have business partners or associates. That's why you find them leaving in a lonely environment or with a very few neighbor.

According to Daniel Goleman:

Distractions are the enemy of focus. Being able to keep your focus amidst the daily din of distraction makes you better able to use whatever talents you need to apply – whether making a business plan or a cheese soufflé. The more prone to distraction, the worse we do.

Yet we live in a time when we are more inundated by distractions than ever in human history. Tech gadgets and apps invade our concentration in ways the brain’s design never anticipated.

Scientists talk about two broad varieties of distractions: sensory and emotional. The sensory ones include everything from that too-loud guy at the next table in the coffee shop while you’re trying to focus on answering your emails, to those enticing pingy popups on your computer screen.

We are constantly ignoring sensory distractions – that’s the essence of paying attention. William James, a founder of America psychology, wrote a century or so ago that attention comes down to the mind’s eye noticing clearly “one of what seems several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought.”

Notice, for instance, the feeling of the chair as it supports you. That sensation has been there all this while, though included among the vast amount of mental stimuli you’ve been ignoring.

Much harder to ignore than these random sensory inputs are emotional distractions. If one of those emails you’ve been working through happens to trigger a strong reaction – annoyance or anger, anxiety or even fearfulness – that distraction will instantly become the focus of your thoughts, no matter what you’re trying to focus on.

The brain’s wiring gives preference to our emotional distractions, creating pressing thought loops about whatever’s upsetting us. Our brain wants us to pay attention to what matters to us, like a problem in our relationships.

There is one key difference between hopeless rumination – the kind of thought that awakens you at 2 am and keeps going until you finally drift off again at 4 am – and useful reflection. The key: whether we can come up with some solution or new understanding that at least tentatively solves the difficulty so we can let go of it and get back to whatever we were supposed to be doing.

So what’s a strategy for dealing with distraction? Here’s one of mine: as a writer, my job comes down to producing a certain amount of useful text regularly. So my daily routine starts with a cup of tea, breakfast with my wife, and then a meditation session where I gather my focus. Then I write.

I don’t look at emails, take phone calls, or otherwise let distractions creep into my focused time. That keeps the sensory kind out, and the emotional kind to a minimum. I’ve got the whole rest of the day to deal with those.

As we have seen, we really have to be focus and try our possible best to do away with distractions of any kind and of any form.

The worst for of distraction is when you are a distraction to your self, hmmm! How do you mean? You may ask, well it simple means the in ability to discipline your self, this is the biggest form of distraction for if you are not disciplined enough you will be a distraction to your self and to the society at large.
