REfocus
People are so quickly distracted. We get sidetracked and focused on the wrong things so easily which causes us to feel as if we aren't making in progress. In reality we aren't making the progress in certain areas of our lives because we're too busy focusing on non factors. Can you easily identify the non factors to your goals/aspirations/dreams? If so or not, it's time to make changes and get back on track.
Leading in the Wrong Spaces: Often times in social organizations, church and even at work, we find ourselves leading in the wrong spaces. These spaces include the gossip corners, the mess boxes and rumor mills that can be found in any social atmosphere. The question we have to ask ourselves is, how are we leading in these spaces. Are we adding commentary by casting judgement, laughing along or adding more fuel to conversation? Leadership can have both positive and negative effects. If the social circles, groups and organizations you're a part of focuses more on tearing others down with gossip, rumors and hate speech, then you may want to refocus your role in leading in the wrong spaces.
We all have a Trump figure in our lives that distract us from the real issues. As President Trump has taken office, I've found more blogs, articles and headlines focusing on the minor things, mostly drama filled reactions and actions of his, but not a lot of attention on the behind the scenes decisions that truly effect the way that we live. We must refocus on the progress made and how to sustain it as opposed to spinning our wheels around every simple thing that put out in the media. Regardless of alternative facts or fake news, somewhere in between the distractions are the things we should have our attention on including equitable healthcare for all, the water crisis in Flint, the growing number of failing public schools and for profit schools, gentrification of affordable living communities and the continued fight for basic human rights of many citizens. It's time refocus our thoughts, actions and efforts to continue the work of progression.
