SEED THOUGHTS : Look , Have You Ever Started a Project and never finished It ? I started knitting an afghan many years ago that is still unfinished . In fact , I started it so many years ago that I have even lost the skill of knitting !! while it takes Work and Energy to start a Project , it takes more Work and Energy to actually finish It . Why is that ? We are constantly bombarded by things competing for our Attention . Therefore We because Distracted and get Sidetracked . One definition of Distraction is anything that gets our attention off of what it should be On . Nikita Khrushchev was once head of the former Soviet Union . He used to tell a story of a time in that nation when there was a wave of petty Theft . To curtail it , the authorities posted guards around the Factories . At a lumber factory in Leningrad , one guard knew the workers very Well . The first evening , out came a worker with a wheelbarrow carrying a great , bulky , suspicious-looking Sack . All right , Petrovich , said the Guard . What have You got There ? just Sawdust and Shavings , He Replied . Come On , the guard said . I wasnt born Yesterday . tip it out . The worker did So , and out came nothing but Sawdust and Shavings . So He was allowed to put it back in the sack and go Home . When the same thing happened every night that week , the guard because frustrated . Finally , His curiosity overcame His frustration . Petrovich , He said , I know You . Tell Me what Youre smuggling out of here and I ll let You Go . Wheelbarrows , My Friend , said Petrovich . The guard was so focused on Distraction that He missed the Obvious . God wants to Speak to You and give You Direction . But He is Saying , You must Remove the Distractions from Your Life . Yes , Even everyday Life has many Distractions . how many times have You walked into a room and then asked Yourself , What am I doing in here ?I did come in here for a Reason . Now what was It ?This has happened to all of Us . somewhere along the way We became Distracted by Something or Someone ...... JUST KEEP IT REAL.
