There's an important element missing in this realization, one in my opinion is needed by those who feel they are distracted from their goals(my self included). It's called FOCUS.

Distractions will always be there, exercising ones will to focus or concentrate is the practice necessary to overcome or to move about in an environment not befitting our personal aspirations.

An example I can give here is that there are so many threads we could choose to engage in. And yet we rarely choose to engage in the ones that seem to align with our common interest. Is it human nature to latch onto differences?

I find nothing wrong with a member posting something I may not agree with, and it could be there is a lesson behind it. It's up to me not to engage when I feel it is hindering my desired lifestyle. As you've said, we make the changes within.

Disagreements and distractions are a natural part of life. Here's to us honing our skills as we will surely encounter them again. Best of luck!
