Episode 3738:
Michael Mehlberg shares a vivid story of helping baby sea turtles reach the ocean, using it as a powerful metaphor for how distractions pull us away from our most important goals. Just like turtles drawn to artificial lights instead of the moon, we risk losing focus and missing opportunities unless we learn to recognize and follow what truly matters.

Quotes to ponder:
"All the times I had miffed things up. It all made me realize that so many of my failures had happened because either I a) didn’t know where I was going or b) had some distraction beckoning me the in the wrong direction."
"Allow these distractions to command your attention and you’ll end up wandering in the wrong direction, lost on the proverbial beach, in danger of being eaten alive."
"Even one distraction is too many. So you have to focus on what matters."
