TOOLS OF DISTRACTIONS

1. POOR SELF MOTIVATION: None other is to be blame for whatsoever you become because you are the greatest factor in your success or failure . Quite a number of us are poorly motivated due to experiences of the past, this poor motivation is seen in our response, the face of challenges, we easily give up and let go . This is the greatest tool that distracts us, the lack of motivation to continue to pursue our goals.

2. OUR COMPANY: Since its difficult to survive as lone rangers, we all need people to company us as we journey in life as we can never survive alone. However the company we keep will either make or mar us. If we are in the company of pessimists, we are bound to be distracted by their words and actions as we pursue our goals.

3. SOCIAL MEDIA: We live in an age of internet and connectivity, however our increased connectivity comes at a price of loss of concentration and distractions. Many of us are mastered by the social media, we want to know the latest trends, read the most recent status updates and know what's happening to our friends and loved ones. This makes us easily lose track of our goals and visions and make others define what we should pursue. For instace it's easier for a student who has the goal of a first class GPA and loves being in the know of the latest Twitter trends to continue to tweet when he's supposed to be recieving lectures r when he's supposed to be reading. Thiis is such a potent tool of distraction today and not a few of us are affected.

1. CHALLENGES: Life isn't always a bed of roses and crown without a cross. Many of us give in too soon to challenges which spring up on our way to our vison and goals . The processdistracts us that we forget the destination but people who succeed are they that keep going even in the fact of challenges, they never give up, they dont retreat and they dont surrender.
