Distraction when practiced by habit leads to aimlessness- we don't really have a direction because we are always wanting to be somewhere than where we are and then that leads to a feeing of uselessness and uselessness often leads to hopelessness, and then we are powerlessness to do anything about it and it just becomes a vicious cycle.
For a believer God has said and we are going to see specifically starting in verse 11--- God has said that the guard against a distracted life is what the Lord offers to us He calls the Word Filled Life. A life that is filled with God's Word so that He can focus us so that God Himself can nurture us to go in a direction that He has chosen. That is the only protection we have to prevent our lives becoming distracted is a Word Filled Life- from being dissatisfied is a Word Filled Life- from being useless is a Word Filled Life. God wants me to have His focus in life.
