What are some things begging for our attention?
Food? Apps? The media stories? A yearn for attention?
Food scientists are trying to get our attention.
Engineers are designing apps more addictive than gambling.
The media is manufacturing stories to get us riled up.
We play games, trying to get our way.
We know this. – and these are just a few of the millions of temptations and forces distracting us from things that really matter.
Gossiping, endless working, fear, lust – all fighting for our attention.
these internal and external forces that become more powerful and even harder to resist…
But what if?
What if we paid careful attention to these forces, acknowledged them, but kept doing our thing
yeah, paying attention, being aware – it requires self awareness, but why not try?
Isn’t that better than being pulled every which way besides the way we want to go?
It might.
