We all get distracted from time to time. It's hard not to with all the noise coming at you from the media, coworkers, family. It's o.k. to have lapses in focus. They can teach you a ton about motivation, flexibility, resourcefulness, and persistence.
"Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward." Henry Ford
