The Power of Focus and Distraction

Speaker 1

Once you see what you actually are , that you're an infinite , limitless being , you'll see that nothing exists outside of you . I'm your host , derek Grant , and this is The Pathway to Your Results Podcast . Ladies and gentlemen , welcome to The Pathway to Your Results Podcast . It is your boy , dg . We're here . I want to go ahead and tell you this right now .

For those of you that don't know , this particular episode can also be found in video format on YouTube . All right , people have been telling me oh , we got to see it . We got to see it . We want to see it more than just online . We want to go back and watch it . So this is available on YouTube right now .

Go to YouTube at DG Mindset , and you will see this episode Not literally hear it , but you will see it too . So I have to go and start with that . So I'm creating this version of myself that is essentially a global icon .

All right , that's the energy that I'm putting out , and I know that if I put it out , i can hold the vibration long enough that this universe , through electromagnetism , has no choice but to mirror that .

So I'm sitting here , i'm driving up to Chicago this week because I have to have an event up there and then I'm just going to go drive over to South Bend because I got to work with Notre Dame Women's Basketball team . This thought starts popping in .

I don't know if it's the Sagittarius in me , i don't know what it is , but I love words , like in the etymology of words and the origins of words . But I'm sitting here , driving . I'm sitting here I had plenty of time , you know , two and a half , three hours And I started to think about the word distraction .

Right , when we get distraction , we get distracted . We're like , hey , you got to focus , don't get distracted . Well , we know what focus is right . Focus is when we're able to centralize our energy . When we can centralize our energy , that means we're only sending energy to a specified place through our attention and intention . This is what it means to focus .

So when we say pay attention , we are paying with the currency of this universe , which is focus . That's number one . So then I started to think about like okay , well , what is the opposite of focus ? It's being distracted . Well , if I know that focus is me , god Almighty , here we go , it's coming right now . Live in an effect .

If I know that focus is me , centralizing and lasering in and scoping in with my energy , then that means distraction would be the antithesis , the opposite of it . So I started to think distract , distract , distract , okay , disse , disse is the Latin word , latin prefix for without . It means without right , discomfort , that means I'm without comfort .

There is the opposite of disse , which is con . So disse means without , cons means with . So then I said , okay , i have distractions . That means the opposite of that would be contract . But if you think about it , the way we use contract , it doesn't come across as the opposite of distract .

So you know me , the Sagittarius warrior I am , i got to figure out why I need to know how , i need to know what . So I'm sitting here driving . If I had my well , i swear you , i would have pulled over on the road and I would have went to thesauruscom , i would have went to dictionarycom , i would have started doing my work .

But anyway , all of this is coming straight from the source . I'm just like this is pure downloads coming in while I'm driving And I say to myself I'm like okay , distract , contract . What happens when I sign a contract ? That means it's a binding agreement between at least two parties .

So when I make a contract , that means I'm saying I'm going to do X and in return you will do Y . This sounds like the seventh universal law of this universe , which is the law of gender And feminine giving and receiving , positive and negative , left in right , up in down .

So I started to realize that every time that we sign a contract it was with something , and every time that we were distracted it was without something . So now I got to figure out what is track mean ? What is this word track ? What is it ? So I go and look up the etymology of it And it comes from the Latin word Trahir , which means to pull , to draw .

And I said , oh wait , hold on now . What are we pulling and what are we drawing ? What are we drawing from ? So when you got on my , here we go . When you are distracted and something is distracting you , it is because it is pulling from your energy field .

You are paying with your attention , with your energy , and it is only pulling and is violating this natural law of the law of gender and you are not receiving anything from it . It is only pulling . You are giving , it is receiving . You are giving , it is receiving . You are giving , it is receiving . It's distracting you .

But before there to be a harmonious balance , it would have to give you something and you'd have to be able to receive , but it's not doing that . So then I started to think about the opposite of what a contract is .

The reason why a contract works is because what I'm putting out and what I'm giving , you are receiving it , but then , in return , you are giving something to me and I'm receiving it . This , my friends , is the natural law of the law of gender . This is what creates things in harmonious balance .

So I started thinking about my life and I said oh , my goodness , we know that energy is the currency of everything . You making contracts all the time . You are constantly giving your energy and receiving your energy from things constantly , and when you have a contract with something , energetically , that means the full circle has been completed .

So the half the circle would be you giving and then it receiving on the bottom , and then finishing out that circle would be it giving and you receiving . So I started to think about your bed . Think about your bed when you go to bed at night . When I go , i checked into the hotel , right , i get into the hotel and it's a .

The bed is already made and I don't know if I don't some of these fancy hotels . I don't really like them because they make it . They make it . So , dad , going tight , you get inside the bed . You feel like you , you inside of a torture chamber because you can't , you can't move in it .

So , anyway , i get in the room and I'm looking at the bed and I'm like somebody made this bed . Now I'm about to use this bed as a way to replenish my energy levels . Right , i'm going to lay down and replenish my energy levels through this practice , through this act that we call sleeping .

So I'm going to lay down and I'm going to fold the sheets back and then , for some reason , after the day's , the night's over and we're finished doing what we do , we get up , we leave . This is why you were supposed to make up your bed , because when you made up your bed , this was the completing of the contract .

See , i got oh good , god almighty , i got into bed , and part of the agreement was that this bed was going to suffice . It was going to be a comfortable place for me to be able to restore my energy levels . It was going to do its job .

Because here's the problem as a human being , you think , because something can't talk like you , walk like you , it doesn't have the same beliefs . You think that it's not alive . No , everything is alive . Why ? Because everything is consciousness , everything is spirit , and spirit is the one thing , the living force that is emanating through everything .

Okay , so I get into bed and I get out of it to complete the contract , cause the bed's like yo . I did my job . I did my job , i did what I was supposed to .

You got into me , you rested , you restored your energy levels , you did whatever you needed to do , among other things , in the bed , and now I have to close the other half of it by me making up the bed , by me putting the bed back to how it was . That is me completing the contract . Do you see how this works ?

So this is why you were supposed to make up your bed . This is why you were supposed to clean your house . This is why you were supposed to take care of your car , because the car had done its job . But then what do we do as selfish human beings ?

Because we're unaware of inanimate objects , we think because something's not sent in it , we think that it's not real . But see , what we don't realize is we are violating universal principles . You're violating universal principles when you don't leave something or you don't put something back to the way it was before I'm sorry after you used it .

So I started realizing in my life like this is what it meant to be distracted . When you were distracted , that meant something . You were giving your attention to something , but only one half of the circle was being completed . So that's why you had to be focused and not be distracted by things in life , because now I'm only giving energy to what happened .

I'm only giving energy to the things that maybe weren't what I desired . Now I'm only giving attention and energy to these quote unquote negative things , but it's not giving me any energy back . And now there's a violation of this natural order . There's a violation of this natural law . Imagine it like this .

Imagine we look at the universe and we look at this physical , this natural environment of nature . It's constant contracts with everything . So think of it like this The ground made a contract with the tree .

The ground said listen , i will be the constant , the medium , so that you may stand upon me and create a foundation , so that you may build this yield of apples . This is what the ground said to the tree . And the tree said cool , cool , cool , cool . I appreciate you . Yeah , yeah , yeah . And then here's what I'll do in return .

Since you've done this , i will produce apples . And the ground's like yeah , that's cool . But like , what does that have to do with me ? How does that help ? No , no , no , trust me , i got you . I got you In some way , shape or form . It will come back to you , okay , cool . So the tree's like I'm going to go ahead and give these apples .

I'm going to give these apples to this ground who's allowed me to stand my roots on . And then what ends up happening is these apples fall to the ground And then the deer walks over . And the deer's like I'm going to take these apples tree and I'm going to use them to nourish me , i'm going to use them to help me .

And the tree's like yeah , yeah , okay , that's cool , that's cool , but how is this benefiting me ? How are we going to keep this harmonious balance ? How is this going to be giving and receiving ? And the deer's like I know what I'll do I'll defecate . I'll defecate the seeds out and I'll give the seeds back to the ground .

And at that moment the ground got back what it had put into the tree . You see what I'm saying . So , because the ground had allowed this tree to stand its roots on and grow its foundation in .

Now what ended up happening was it was able to bury , yield its fruit , and because its fruit came down , the deer's like I'll take it , but the deer's like I'm going to give it back to the ground . And this is the harmonious cycle of what we call energetic contracts . There was a giving , there was a receiving .

If we even look at our lives , when we write a contract whether it's written by a lawyer , whether it's an agreement , whatever it is we see that there's two sides of it . One party's going to give , the other party's going to receive , but then the other receiving party has to give something .

The key to you on this journey was recognizing that your life was a series of energetic contracts . It was a series of you giving and receiving , not just outside of yourself , but also within yourself . So I started thinking about moments in my life when I may have gotten distracted , moments when I was , i didn't stay focused . Why , why ?

I never will forget I was a junior in high school . Right , i was a junior in high school . I'm going to tell you this story . I'm going to let you in my life a little bit Now . I was , i was , i was a late bloomer , i was so focused on basketball I went out and nothing to do with girls . And now I see why girls be distracting you at times , right ?

Not just girls , the opposite sex , not even the opposite sex , someone who you are interested in . This can be where you're giving your energy , right ? So I remember being a junior in high school and you know like I want to play college basketball . I want to play college

Understanding Energy and Distractions

basketball . I got invited to this thing . It was the top 100 of the top 100 basketball players along the East Coast . Right , i got invited to it and it was invite only .

And it just happened to correspond and fall on the same day , that , or the same week , that the girl , my first girlfriend , the person I was dating , the person I went to prom with right , i'm , i'm wide open , i'm my eyes like oh well , i'm going to go over the best . I was feeling things I'd never felt before .

You know how it is when you're smitten over somebody . Right , this week was the same week that her parents were out of town . So I had it all planned out in my mind like I'm going to hang out there , like I'm going to go do this . I'm going to tell my parents I'm sleeping over here at this person's house , but I'm really going to be sleeping here .

I had it all planned out right . You know , being a 17 year old just young and spry and wide open and thinking with the little hands , that is a big head . But anyway , i go over there and I had it all planned out in my mind Like yeah , this is great . I went over there and didn't go to this camp that I got invited to . I didn't get invited .

I mean , i'm sorry I didn't go . And my dad I remember my dad asked me like why are you not going ? Like man , i don't know , i'm just . I tried to make up some BS excuse And I remember him looking at me like boy , don't you sit here and bullshit , boy , you ain't going to sit here and tell I was your age .

I know what was going on , it ain't what you're telling me . But anyway , i ended up not going and I ended up going to this girl's house And I was so excited , right , so excited . I'm going to tell you the moral of this story . I go over there like , yeah , like I brought my bag , my sleeping bag , my toothbrush .

I got it Like you know what I mean Like I'm going over there , and then here's what happened . She's acting like she's sad . I'm like what's wrong with what's going on ? She was sad because she knew what she had done before . She had had a party the night before and she had found her a new man .

And now she had to tell me and I'm having , i have no idea , this is going on , something . I'm going over there , stay there and hang out for the night , watch movies , do whatever . I actually was going over there to be broken up with . I swear for you on everything .

So , look , i'm over there , she tells me and she gives me the classic It's not you , it's me , i just need , i'm like so , mind you , this is my first girl And so this is therefore my first breakup and I don't know what's going on . You know what I say when I'm leaving .

Okay , well , when you figure out everything , just let me know and I'll like maybe we can , we can make it work out , we can get back together . I'll look back at me like you suck a duck , you dummy like , but look , i'm leaving the house and , as I'm leaving , you can't even , you can't even like write this out .

I'm leaving and this dude is walking in on the walkway , like this little walkway , by the flower bed , the bushes , the shrubs . He's walking in and I'm walking out and I look at him and I don't know him . But I'm like she had four sisters .

I'm like maybe he's coming to see one of her sisters or something , and I'm like , as fate would have it , i found out like three , four or five days later , this was the dude . He took my spot , he took my roster spot .

So here's my point I had to tell you that , in the long and the short right To tell you this , i was pouring energy into something and someone that it was not being reciprocated . I wasn't getting it back . I was distracted . There was not a sound energetic contract . So why am I saying this ?

I'm just using relationships as an example , because you don't realize that sometimes you may be distracted through the relationship that you're in with somebody . If I'm putting more into you than you are putting into me , more importantly , i'm putting more into myself than you are putting into yourself .

Good God , almighty , there ain't , there is not a balanced contract , and it's only a matter of time before it does not work . I can't tell you how many instances , how many experiences , how many situations of people that come to me that are going through divorce and one partner wanted to go to therapy and the other partner didn't .

One partner goes straight to the self help section in the bookstore and the other partner doesn't even want to go to the bookstore . The problem is is because there is a distraction , one is pulling from the other's energy field .

So I have to say this It's about you creating energetic contract , first and foremost with yourself , because however much you put inside and put into yourself , you will always get back , always .

So here's my point making sure that the contracts that we have with everything the chair that you're sitting in at the restaurant you make sure that you put it back , because that chair was minding its business before you came along .

The relationships that you're in , making sure that they're harmonious , meaning what you're putting into it , you are also receiving as well . The food that you are eating . Making sure that there is a contract that you are not just only eating foods that pull from your energy field , but you are also eating foods that are giving you energy as well .

This is why we were never supposed to eat processed foods . You were supposed to be careful and be aware of what you were eating , because the energetic contract that was taking place .

So when you start thinking of your life as energy , when you start thinking of your life as just a series of giving and receiving , and then the receiving turns to giving and so forth and so on , now you can start to get in flow with this , with this universe . Don't get me started , though I'm not . I should probably even go here .

But this is why , if you look at this thing that we refer to as the government , it ain't working . It is not working Why ? Because it's so one-sided for the people involved . So the contract , the energy , it's not harmoniously balanced . There's a receiving , maybe from one end more than the other , and then there's not a giving .

It has to be equal , and until oh good God , i don't mind . That's why , if you look at this country , this is why we have so much civil unrest , because there's not an energetic contract . There's too much distraction . Do you see , if we understood how energy worked now ?

now I would say to myself I cannot sit here and watch this political show , because all it's doing is pulling from my field . I cannot sit here and get wrapped up in the rigmarole of this game , caesar's game , of this thing that we call politics .

I cannot get wrapped in this because the reality of it is is you don't give a goddamn about what I'm doing , you don't . You're not trying to actually help me so I can help this world .

You're actually distracting me and pulling from my field and keeping me from better understanding myself , with all of these energetic distractions that keep me from focusing on the thing that actually was going to create this reality for us . So my point of this is this I don't want to turn into . You know nothing is good or nothing is bad .

You know we first had to understand that . But my point of this is getting you to understand where you are putting your energy , because ultimately , nothing can distract you without your consent . Do you hear the word con ? that means with . Do you see ? you are the one who is setting your energy . You are the one who is giving your energy to the distraction .

Good God , almighty . So my point of this is because , at the reality , it will always come back to you . You are the one who is unconsciously being distracted and this is the way the system is set up . The system is set up to manipulate and control those who are not con sent in .

Con chisley , if you're not doing it consciously , you will be distracted , meaning it's just going to keep pulling and pulling and pulling from your field . Your energy was your life force and your life force is what was creating your reality . So make sure that all of your contracts are sound .

Clean up your bedroom , clean up your room , clean up your clean it , clean up your bed , clean up , clean up your life . When I say clean up , all that's doing is bringing harmony and balance to the energetic contracts that you have . Your body , your mind , create contracts with it . Make sure it's harmonious .

What you're putting in , you're getting out , and when I'm getting out , i'm putting it back in . This is it So . This is why I'm doing what I'm doing right now , because I realized I was constantly just pulling , pulling , pulling , pulling . I'm reading , i'm learning , i'm listening , i'm reading , i'm learning , i'm listening .

I'm only pulling , pulling , pulling from somebody else's energy field . But what am I putting back out into the world ? What am I putting back out ? I'm expanding and I'm growing and I'm doing all these things internally , but what good is it if I do not give it back to this world ?

What good is it if I don't take my experiences , my circumstances , my knowledge , my wisdom and I'm not giving it back to the young man or the young woman or the person who's on their journey ? This is how I create this energetic contract That's harmonious .

So I say that , as always , i'll tell you this you matter , you matter , you have an obligation , you have a responsibility to yourself and because you are the micro , you are this smaller version of this macro universe , you matter , you matter , your energy matters .

Where you put your energy , it matters , not just in you and your own world , your own universe , but on the collective level as well .

So here's my , here's my challenge to you and everybody What if we started putting more energy into ourselves by being intentional with our thoughts , being intentional with what we do in our lives , whether it's meditation , whether it's breathwork every day , whether it's journaling , being conscious of when we eat , being conscious when we overeat , being being aware that

the reason why I'm overeating right now is because I'm sad and I'm actually just using food as a way to make me quote unquote feel happy for the moment . But me feeling happy at that moment was really a placeholder , because deep down within , i do not feel like I'm enough .

And the reason why I don't feel like I'm enough is because growing up , i was never affirmed by mommy and daddy , so now I'm using food as the placeholder . The ego has attached itself to keep me from getting to the root of what I need to work on . What if I worked on myself and became aware of this ? How much better would I help this world ?

Now I'm operating from a higher energy level , and if I'm working , operating from a higher energy level , i have more direct of willpower with this thing called thinking , and now I will not be distracted .

So my point of this is getting you to realize that you matter and everything that you put into yourself matters , because this is what was creating this entire physical universe . You matter , you absolutely matter . The work that you do on yourself matters . The things that you eat matter .

How you live your life matters , not just , not just in your own individual , subjective experience that you call life , but it matters on the collective level as well , because we know the micro is what creates the macro . So , as always , keep going . Don't worry about what it feels like or what it looks like or not .

Just keep going , just keep moving , just keep moving , just keep moving , because every time that you move forward , every time you go just a little bit further , every time that you dive just a little bit deeper , every time you step into that space that it feels like it stings and it hurts .

I don't want to go there anymore because it hurts too much , but every time you just keep moving just a little bit closer , you step towards your fears . Every time you keep going , guess what you're doing ?

You are creating this thing of what we call momentum and you keep pouring energy , you keep depositing energy into these energetic bank accounts , good God , almighty , and we know that the more energy we put into these accounts , the more we will be able to withdraw , and then , the more that we put in , we can withdraw even more , and every time that you withdraw ,

it would give you permission to deposit just a little bit more , and vice versa . So keep going , keep working on yourself , Keep pulling , keep learning , keep growing and then keep putting it back out . Now I can promise you you'll see life change . You will see life change . You will see things . You will see your life change .

I sit here with my with my team here , durango Payne and Davis Slijski . I sit with them and we talk about where we've been in the last six months . We say , dang , look at where we've come in six months , look what we're doing . I said , well , you ain't seen nothing yet . Y'all you ain't seen nothing . Why ?

Because we're each on our own journey , working on ourselves . We're each trying to learn more about ourselves . So we're pulling energy , but then also we're giving it back into the world . And this is all that was . It was just contract , contract , contract , contract contract . So do not be easily distracted .

And if you are distracted , see where , see where you gave the consent to give your energy to that . As always , keep going . You know where to find me Go to dgmindsetcom . All social media is at DG Mindset . Keep going , don't stop . And , as always , i wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results .
