Distraction: The Purpose Killerಮಾದರಿ

Distractions have a few different sources. Many of them grow out of desires and false beliefs we hold inside ourselves. Others come from outside—from the environments we’re in, the voices we listen to, and even the people we love.

Sometimes those closest to us, the ones we love and who know us best, aren’t the ones who will help us get to what’s next.

No apologies. No compromises.
