Last week's roundup: The Way of Distraction
Monday: For cogs in a wheel, "distraction routines” are a necessary escape. For people like us, a distraction is enemy territory—it steals our time, derails our focus, whittles away at our fortitude.
Tuesday: Do you have that thing, that ritual, that mantra that reminds you why you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing (despite what others have advised)? Maybe it’s a word, a prayer, or a picture that resets your feet where your soul knows it’s going.
Wednesday: Too much information is undermining your call, your idea, your solution. If we’re not careful, the tsunami of information becomes what feels like an orchestrated resistance to the specific work we are sent here to do.
Thursday: That call, that vocation, that one itch that you absolutely must scratch—it is to that you must make a promise. Promise your time. Your attention. Your passion.
Friday: "Golden squirrels" encourage reflection and introspection, wonder and awe. Often times they compel writing down notes, or sketching a picture. They seem more like a vision than a distraction. Because they are. They are momentary mentors.
Saturday: You have the gifts. You have the insight. You have the audacity. And that means you’re likely feeling alone and isolated. Because you are! That is part of the definition of innovation—being out there where no one else is but believing everyone ought to be.
