With no purpose, there will be distractions

I felt compelled to write an angry comment beneath the video.

My teeth were grinding.

I was reverting to my animal state.

My friend had sent me a video about US politics.

Just before I was about to hit send, I took a breath.

I remembered.

I’m off-path. I’m not conscious.

I’m prioritising distractions that reduce me to Idiot Boy.

Without a powerful purpose, you will always have a superb argument for why you should be distracted by garbage.

But most people misunderstand purpose.

Having purpose is comprised of three key ingredients:

1. Obsessive Momentum.

Obsession gets a bad rap. Obsession explains the freakery we see in the greats and geniuses of our time. They were driven by an energy that transcends what most normies know. We all have access to obsessive momentum, especially when we find that zone of mastery that aligns with our talents, skills and interests.

2. An exciting vision.

This doesn’t need to be complicated. Make your vision about two things. Your material wants (yes, you’re a human and need money, cool stuff, trips, and toys - aim big and have fun with what you want). Secondly, you want to know how your work leads to improving the world. Tap into this daily. Describe your vision in detail.

3. Thought management.

We have tens of thousands of thoughts per day. Unconscious people allow the crappy thoughts to pull them in a hundred different directions throughout the day. Those who stay on mission and focus on the right things are conscious. When unhelpful thoughts arise, they have developed a powerful habit, allowing them to float past.

For those who think I’m a bit of a weirdo for creating what I’ve created, it makes sense when they hear me explain how I managed to clear my mind and find purpose.

You have a massive advantage once you manage your distractions by re-establishing a powerful purpose.

(That rhymed and I’m quite proud of that).
