Better things

Don’t let your attention get drawn into trivial issues that don’t matter. You have better things to do.

Yes, sometimes the drama of those trivialities can be intoxicating. But is your life really made better by such intoxication?

The universe is bursting with energy, wonder, and value. At any given moment you have plenty of opportunities to fill your awareness with substantive, meaningful things.

Sure, you might find some momentary pleasure in merely observing and casting judgments. Yet you’ll experience far greater fulfillment in participating and making a difference.

Rather than wasting your attention on cheap thrills, utilize it to identify and embrace opportunities for real, lasting value. Where you repeatedly focus your attention determines the direction your life proceeds.

There are so many good ways to go. Continue to point your attention and yourself in a direction that benefits your life, and all of life.
