This article is as a result of a group discussion I had with few of my friends. The journey to success is never easy and no matter how we try to get there, distractions must pop up.
As a student in college, parties and shows come up every semester. Sometimes I wonder why most of them come up towards test or examination. Who is to blame for this? Of course, I blame the students. If people keep avoiding the shows to focus on the task ahead, they will stop bringing shows. Distractions must pop up in every areas of our life, we must find a way to overcome them.
Distractions are like disturbances, they pop up to shift our focus from the target and once we get lost, its hard to retrace our steps back to the journey it should. We have human and non-human distractions according to my theory.
Human distractions come as a human being to distract you. When I was in college, my father would scream for me not to have girlfriend till my final year, he saw that as a distraction. He may be right, I have seen intelligent guys derail academically for entering the wrong relationship. It doesn't pertain to college alone, even in real life. Lots of Jezebels around to scatter your journey. As a female, most guys out there can spoil your future if you are not careful. Friends, family members or relatives can be a distraction if we allow them shift our focus from the goal.
Non-human distractions can be a bad habit, character or physical attributes. Interaction with people socially have affected a whole lot of people. Attitude is also another form. In any form that distractions come, let us be focused like an athlete. I have watched athletes, their eyes are always fixed on the finish line before the beginning of the race. The truth is, only a second distraction can affect your speed to get to your destination. This means distraction is not allowed at all.
In conclusion, only you can be determined enough to avoid distractions. We can't stop distractions from popping up, we can only run and avoid them before we fall off. In this journey of life, we are the pilot, sailor and driver so we should endeavor to finish well because finishing well is success. Thank you readers for taking time to read my article.
