Distractions

. You create your own distractions

so that you do not have to face reality.

Do not like to do this, so you'll do this,

drink alcohol to forget.

Do not like to do this, so you'll do this,

gamble away the paycheck.

Do not like to do this, so you'll do this,

engage with strange people.

Do not like to do this, so you'll do this,

go shopping and buy things you do not need.

Do not like this, so you'll do this,

become obsessive compulsive with a hobby.

And the list of distractions goes on and on. There are times when we do the distracting habit

without thinking. There are times when the distraction becomes an addiction and you have

no control over where or when the distraction will take you.

Eventually you even forget the reason you sought out the distraction.

Maybe everything begins with hope, but it usually ends without it. It all ends in reality,

as you perceive reality to be. The perception of reality becomes so distorted by the

distraction you may not know what is real and what is a figment of your imagination.

Find a friend, someone from your family, someone you may have just met, someone

you trust, someone you do not mistrust, anyone who can listen, because when you begin

to honestly tell others of your woes, you will answer your own question of ,

"why am I so distracted from reality?"

"By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions,
one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination." ~ Christopher Columbus

You may fear reality if you have been distracted for too long. Fear is not knowing.

Learning is the first step to change. Pray to your Higher Power to give you the courage

to change. Have faith that your Higher Power wants only good for you.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen"
(Hebrews 11:1).

Today, avoid the distractions. Today, face reality along with the help of a friend

and your Higher Power. Today, select a goal or destination that is fun and exciting.

Today, do not be distracted from doing the will of your Higher Power.

Be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant, be forgiving and be the person

God wants you to be.

May your troubles be less, your blessings more,
and may nothing but happiness come through your door.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
