Are You Moving Toward Something—Or Just Trying to Get Away?

Ever notice how many conversations start with what's not going right?

People often share the things they’re frustrated with, the problems they’re trying to escape, or the situations they can’t wait to leave behind. And while it’s completely human to vent—life does throw its challenges at us—there’s a subtle but powerful shift that can change everything:

Are you focused on what you're running from—or what you're running toward?

In my experience, the difference between the two is more than mindset—it’s momentum.

When you focus on moving away from something, your energy is rooted in avoidance, frustration, and sometimes fear. But when you’re moving toward a meaningful goal—personally, professionally, or spiritually—you’re pulled by purpose. There’s clarity. There’s direction. There’s vision.

And let me tell you: chasing vision pays much better dividends than escaping discomfort.

That brings us to this week’s question:

• Are you moving towards something or away from something?

Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning.  

Have a great week!
