Chasing What Really Matters in a World of Endless Pings
Imagine throwing rocks into what you think is a minefield, only to realize you're standing in one. That's exactly what happened to Bob Goff in Kurdistan - and it perfectly captures our relationship with distraction. We think we're safely on the perimeter of distraction, but we're actually deep in the danger zone. The average person checks their phone 96 times daily and loses over two hours to digital diversions. But these obvious tech distractions are just the beginning. Comparison, insecurity, financial stress, and even good things like career advancement can pull us away from who we're meant to be. What makes distraction so dangerous isn't just the time it steals but how it fragments our attention into tiny, ineffective pieces. We open multiple browser tabs, juggle concurrent projects, and convince ourselves that multitasking is productivity when it's actually sophisticated distraction. Even our attempts to be efficient often become elaborate ways to avoid what truly matters. The solution isn't complicated, but it requires tremendous discipline: become captivated by something bigger and better. When we're laser-focused on our faith, family, and purpose, the distractions lose their magnetic pull. This might mean creating "attention anchors" - deliberate practices that ground us in what's important, like device-free dinners or scheduled periods of deep work where all notifications are silenced. The undistracted life isn't about perfect productivity but about presence - being fully engaged with what matters most rather than constantly divided between competing priorities. It's about making conscious choices about where we direct our attention, understanding that our focus shapes our reality.
