THE DISEASE OF DISTRACTION

The disease of this age is the disease of distraction. We live in a world that is full of distractions.

Everywhere there are people and things trying to grab your attention: Facebook, twitter, text message, emails your employer, your employee, your spouse, your child and more.

Everyone seems to want your attention; which results in you having a mind that is in a continual state of flux. Your mind is being attracted from one thing to another; bouncing around, like a bee in a box. Never settling down long enough to really concentrate and focus on one task to make a great deal of difference.

To Bee or not to Bee?

Is it better to suffer the pain of bouncing around, like the bee flitting from one task to another, without full focus, or would you be better-off concentrating, focusing your powers onto one thing at a time, until that particular task is properly done?

For most situations, you need to focus your mind onto the job at hand, and to resist the temptation of a myriad of mind-sapping distractions.

Lead us not into temptation

Since mental focus is a specific state of mind, and as YOU are in charge of your own mind, then you can decide to focus your powers and to resist the urge to flit and flutter.

In order to avoid distraction, you need simply, to decide NOT to be distracted.

A Gift from the God

Developing the ability of 100% mental focus is like having a gift from the gods. It is said that the average man uses only 10% of his brain. (We don't know the figure for women, what do you think?...).

It is not that the average person's brain is 90% dead, it is simply that he is using 90% of his brain power on peripheral issues and trivia; like Twitter trivia, Facebook fancies, and email moanings. In addition, you need to contend with office banter, office gossip, sport and too much talk about TV.

With all this going on around us, most of the time, it is hard to keep your mind on the job.

Develop a Laser beam mind

Engineers use Lasers to cut through the hardest of metals. And light is light, immaterial and ephemeral stuff.

How can immaterial light burn through even the toughest materials?

It is because laser light is not normal light, it is light that is concentrated and focused onto a single point. It is not diffused and spread over a large area.

In the same way, you can use your mind to cut through the hardest difficulty by focusing and concentrating its power onto a single point and NOT allowing it to be dissipated and diffused across a range of rubbish.
