š Distracted by Bob GoffāItās a game-changer, and I'm about 75% through it. One chapter that stands out talks about the idea of an "all-access pass" in life. Weāve all got one. The only spot thatās off-limits? Center stageāthat belongs to Jesus.
In this era, everything is at our fingertips. We can achieve whatever we set our minds to. Yet, like many, Iāve been caught up in the constant distractionsāscrolling through social media, endless TV, the lure of the phone. But here's the thing: I've started to turn it around.
This summer, I made a small changeāreplaced mindless noise with thought-provoking audiobooks. Iāve been listening to a new book weekly, and itās been like a mental reset button. My playlist got an overhaul, tooāChristian artists like Forrest Frank, Elevation Worship, and Maverick City Music are in heavy rotation. But donāt get me wrong, I still crank up the classics: Journey, AC/DC, Led Zeppelinātheyāll always have a place.
Another shift? I tuned out the political noise on social mediaāunfollowed about 95% of the stuff that once filled my feed. The difference in my mood was night and day. It was like a fog lifted.
When I cut out the distractions, I realized something profound: access to what really matters is right in front of usāno, not just financially. It goes deeper. Itās about a clearer mind, a lighter heart, and a sharper focus on what truly makes life meaningful.
I recommend Distracted and Bob Goffās other book, Dream Big. His perspective is unapologetically Christian, but even if thatās not your thing, thereās gold in there.
Take a beat. Unplug. Focus on what genuinely lights you up. Whether it's a walk, a book, or yes, even posting on Facebook every five minutesāchase what makes you, you. š
