And that leads me to a simple observation: your distractions are holding you back from becoming a better you! They are getting in the way of your ability to grow as a person and as a leader. They are holding you back from exerting effort on your own improvement. The distractions in your life are pulling you away from the things that truly matter, keeping you from living a life of momentum, forward progress, and growth. And that means they will certainly, if they haven’t already, hamper your ability to live your best life. That’s what distractions are meant to do.
