We Choose Our Distractions

Three guys are convicted of committing a serious Federal crime, and they were all sentenced to twenty years in solitary confinement. But…they were each allowed one thing to bring into the cell with them.

The first guy asks for a big stack of books. The second guy asks for his wife. And the third guy asks for two hundred cartons of cigarettes.

At the end of the twenty years, they open up the iron door of the first guy’s cell. He comes out and says, “I studied so hard and learned so much; I’m smarter and brighter now, I think I’ll become a lawyer. It was terrific.”

They open up the second guy’s door. He comes out with his wife, and they’ve got five new kids. He says: “It was the greatest thing of my life. My wife and I have never been so close. I have a beautiful new family. I love it.”

They open the third guy’s door, and he’s slapping at his pockets, going “Anybody got a match?”

Oh Mylanta, isn’t it so true that when we take away the distractions in life, we can really accomplish much. Distractions can become positive attractions or fatal attractions! if you could live your life without distractions, what would your world look like?
