On the road to wherever you might be going, isn't it often the case you get distracted or pulled in a new direction and turn off, stop, veer away, wind up not where you were headed? Sometimes this is serendipity, the new direction or destination much more interesting and positive.  But so often the change of course or pace results in a lack of progress or achievement.  In this wired, social media, ad-driven, sensory age we have so many things pulling at us, infiltrating our consciousness, diverting and distracting us.  Something of these intrusions are actual opportunities, but for the very greatest part they are not.
