Effective people don't have any fewer interruptions or potential distractions. They just don't allow those interruptions and distractions to knock them off track.
If a disappointment comes along, let yourself be disappointed. And then move on. When an interruption pops up, deal with it and then move on. If you try to shove the disappointment and interruptions out of the way without resolving them, they continue to hound you.
There will be negative surprises every day. You can turn each one into a continuing excuse for why you're not making any progress. Then they'll surely hold you back. Or you can turn each one into a positive learning experience by quickly dealing with it and moving on ahead. It will make the difference between collecting excuses and amassing accomplishments.
