Some days it feels like the whole world wants your attention. It is so easy to be pulled away, become distracted, and get lost in everyone else’s noise. With the rise of the internet, social media, and streaming content, the distraction machine only grows stronger.
Being entertained has its place, and we all love that hit of dopamine as a reward for participating. It’s when these distractions consume time or lead us to compare ourselves that it takes a turn. Derailment doesn’t just come from entertainment either, in many cases, it will come straight from the material we define as educational. Slowly, over time, we begin to question our own life’s direction.
Perspective is the key to remaining on course and true to your intent. Everyone has an opinion to share, this article included. Honing the skill of choice will only reduce the noise. Perspective reframes, drawing out the value and insight, leaving behind the unimportant. Embrace and experience everything; just remember to put it in perspective, as you continue your own journey.
