\u00e2\u20ac\u201d things that ensnare your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is currently a war for your eyeballs and your ears. Distractions abound \u00e2\u20ac\u201d because the more things grab your attention, the more advertising dollars they can earn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the problem is this \u00e2\u20ac\u201d if these distractions are holding you back, they are bad. For example, if your desire is to create, write, photograph, make videos, etc, but you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being trapped and ensnared by TV shows, video games, or any other forms of entertainment \u00e2\u20ac\u201d these distractions are bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all distractions are bad, but when the distractions sap away your energy from pursuing your epic life task, distractions are bad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proposition 1: Entertainment and distractions are holding us back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, what is one man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153entertainment\u00e2\u20ac\u009d isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t another man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153entertainment\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let others dictate their morals unto you. For example, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been studying comic books and manga, and have found HUGE new sources of visual arts inspiration for my photography and art production. But another might see my studying as frivolous. Or often I will watch cinema for artistic insights, but others might see it as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153pointless\u00e2\u20ac\u009d entertainment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entertainment is anything which ensnares you AWAY from your epic life plans and goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, be very suspicious of any entertainment which is sponsored by advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Running out of energy or power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" data-attachment-id=\"211863\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/028f8dac-9b76-4d27-bbc0-ce633ece1d65\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?resize=1180%2C787&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1366&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?resize=720%2C480&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/028F8DAC-9B76-4D27-BBC0-CE633ECE1D65.jpeg?w=2360&amp;ssl=1 2360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lately this is what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been feeling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>When I end the day, I feel accomplished what I did, but I still wish I had more energy to do more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a matter of hours in a day \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it is a matter of my energy throughout the day.
