This particular place

You are not entirely separate from your surroundings. You are a part of your environment, and it is a part of you.

Your existence is always focused in a particular physical place. The attributes of that place play a significant role in your experience.

As much as you might try to escape or ignore it using thoughts, behaviors, electronic and mechanical devices, you’re situated in the place where you are. You can certainly move from place to place, yet you are always somewhere.

Though you might at times prefer being somewhere else, don’t let that prevent you from appreciating and making good use of where you actually are. Even if conditions are not ideal, they are real and available to you, and have value.

Rather than disparaging or fighting with what surrounds you, find the good in it, the wonder, the unique beauty. Learn what it has to teach, feel how it is to be in this particular place.

Right now, you are here. And that makes this the place from which you can begin to do great things.
