It is only when a significant shift occurs that we consciously notice the residual impact of certain influences in our lives. Our modern lives are filled with such influences. They pull us towards them by eating into both our time and energy, which are undoubtedly the most valuable resources we posses.
Hence, whenever we reach an epiphany regarding a certain distraction, we must take action. Change can only occur when we recognise an issue and begin to take measures to resolve said problem. Having such an attitude to continuously resolve issues and grow is important in aiming to live a fulfilling life.
Nonetheless, many of the distractions we face are so deeply ingrained that they impact our biology. Therefore, it may be too much to cut them out completely. Instead we should aim to contain them to an extent that’s within our grasp and objectively reflect on the viability of our barriers over time.
We must be ruthless but flexible in the modern fight against distraction.
