Turn distraction into focus. A lack of focus comes from a lack of prioritization. In other words, you haven't set a sure foundation of an order of priorities. Whatever opportunity comes your way, you're going to take it because you don't know the direction that you're supposed to be going. Because when you know your purpose, you know how to say no to opportunities that don't align with that purpose. If you don't know your purpose, if you don't know the direction of your life, if you haven't set godly goals, if you don't have divine dreams, then when these distractions distractions come along, though they themselves may look like blessings, you will be sidetracked from your destiny because you haven't yet made that prioritization straight in your life. Focus comes from intentional prioritization.
