Problem or Distraction
Is something a problem or is it something
that doesn’t matter at all?
Something is bothering you. Does it
matter or is it just a distraction? Humans go through their lives with a
central problem or challenge that is difficult to solve. Then other “problems”
come up that bother you. Those are distractions from what matters.
Let us say your central problem is overcoming
chronic pain, it’s been going on for many years, and you cannot find lasting
relief. Other annoyances are distracting your mind from trying to wrestle with
this great but meaningful challenge. Someone is pounding the hell out of the
keys when they type. People cut you off when you speak. Your co-workers sing to
themselves loudly off-key. These things are inconsequential. It is your mind
trying to distract you from the mountain with a bunch of molehills, keep
climbing.
The world is a distracting place. Beep
beep beep. A truck is backing up safely. Beep beep beep. Find an alley, put a
toque over your ears, whatever you had to do to find an instant of focus. Find
time and space to plan and decide what really matters to you. Write this out
and re-read it a couple of times throughout your day. Turn your attention back
to what matters. The world is noisy. People are annoying, so are you. It is
okay, what matters to you? Getting control freaky about the random noise of
life will not assist you. Let it come, let it go. Are these problems problems
at all or just fluctuations in your consciousness?
Gee, I wonder where that beep beep beep idea came from? Haha.
ReplyDeleteSadly that is life. We all have problems we have to go through. Though some have more problems than others. Some have problems that make them not very likeable and mostly only that person can fix themselves. Some have very little problems so they live a blissful life. one should try to avoid external problems/distractions if possible to be able to focus on ones goals better.
