How easily are you distracted?

Dreams are fantastic, but how do you focus on just one dream? Choosing is one of the most difficult things in life. Choosing is letting go of all other options for the next period in life. You need to choose one and let go of the other to prevent distraction. You have enough distractions from things that are important and urgent daily.
