Whatever it is you choose to do in life, then distractions play a big part in whether you succeed or not. Too many distractions get in the way of what you really want to do. Your eye can be taken off the ball so many times, that many never get round to doing what they really set out to do in the first place. 

To succeed in life then, distractions must be kept to a bare minimum. One has to have a single-minded determination to succeed, despite all the distractions that will come their way. It is this determination, this single-mindedness not to be swayed off the beaten path to success, so-to-speak, that could see success come your way. 

There are so many distractions that take us away from family, friends and the thing we may want to do the most, that it is so easy to lose our way. Or, it just may be that it is our family and friends that are the big distraction? That in order to succeed in what we have chosen for ourselves we must be prepared to sacrifice our loved ones in order to achieve what we want - achieve our aim.

Distractions are all around us, twenty fours hours a day, seven days a week.  Yet one has to learn to block everything else out. It is all about focus and the ability to siphon out all other things around us. You must be able to put up a mental block - almost like  a wall - that will enable you to concentrate on the thing that matters the most. 

If then others see you as selfish, put this down to single-mindedness. If others see you as big-headed, put this down to having faith in yourself to achieve your aim. By removing distractions from your life, your life will become a lot more simple. By enabling yourself to concentrate on one thing and one thing only, gives you a clear idea of the path you need to go down and the obstacles you must overcome.

It is about being obstinate, being self-determined to keep distractions down as much as you can. And it is about cutting out those distractions that could see you fall by the wayside. By concentrating upon too many things at once you are setting yourself up for failure in the long run. Self-hypnosis comes into play here and, it is no mistake, that self-made millionaires all have one thing in common - an ability to cut out everything from their lives that they cannot gain anything from. It is their ability to home in upon any given thing they put their mind too is something that you too will be able to do, if you train yourself.
