Life’s Distractions

Female sea turtles swim to shore between May and August to dig nests in the sand and lay their eggs. Months later, the eggs hatch and the baby turtles follow the pure light of the moon back to the surf.

Sea Turtle hatchlings instinctively crawl toward the brightest light. On an undeveloped beach, the brightest light is the moon. On a developed beach, the brightest light can be an artificial light source emanating from restaurants, homes and condominiums along the coast. Unfortunately, these powerful artificial sources of light often attract the hatchlings and cause them to move in the wrong direction when they are born.
Rather than follow the pure light of the moon to the ocean the sea turtles follow the wrong light to a disastrous outcome.

It occurred to me that we humans face a similar challenge. Rather than follow the path we were meant to follow, unfortunately we too often are distracted by things that move us in the wrong direction.  (Jon Gordon. Sea Turtles…and Distractions that Lead Us in the Wrong Direction_

Wishing you peace and well being as you tune out your distractions and focus on your priorities that will lead you an ocean of possibilities.

Stories

We can all sit in front of the television and say, “there is nothing I can do about this.” But actually there is something we can do. It might be writing a letter, or standing on a soap box talking, it might be recording someone’s story and telling it to someone else. But, if we want to make a difference, we can, and there is nothing to stop us; and we all have our own experiences that we can use as well. (Giles Duley: When a reporter becomes the story.
