Are you distracted?

Good day all!!!!
I chose this topic because this is where I have felt myself the past 3 days, DISTRACTED. I totally understand that it happens. By no means am I stuck in DISTRACTED MODE. But I do want to get to the root of the issue so I can cut it off at the root. Upon thinking about my current distracted status, I remembered an outline that a good friend of mine gave me regarding this subject (distracted). I wanted to get his permission and blessing before I shared the outline with my blog family, and today I received both - THANK YOU Brother Oscar Camejo for allowing me to share this outline and information with my blog family. I know it will impact and change lives. God Bless You and YOUR FAMILY. I am proud to call you friend and even prouder to consider you my brother!

Now, the good news about this outline is that it doesn't stop here. Oscar has also created a blog that deals specifically with this subject in more details. I would like to ask you guys to take a couple of minutes, and visit Oscars blog. I visited, checked it out, and was extremely enlightened and impressed. Here is the link: www.thefocusedman.blogspot.com

Now, without further adu.....check out this list, and let it minister to you. Be honest with yourself. Seek out the answers and the roots.
***NOTE*** The list was originally designed for the development of men, however, I felt it applies to both genders. I didn't want to edit his list in anyway, so if you're a female reading this, just change the HE to a SHE. This post is designed for us as individuals to judge ourselves, not our ex-boyfriends and stuff....LOL I Love Ya'll!
