We waste beautiful days with meaningless distractions. – Don’t numb yourself with relentless noise.  Don’t let distractions hold you back.  Control your distractions before your distractions control you.  Feel the genuine, positive power that flows from your decision to rise above the widespread distractions that don’t really matter.”
