There is always something to demand our attention.  The question remains: is that what we want to focus on?  In our busy society, full of diversions and distractions, it is sometimes a moment by moment choice to return our attention to what genuinely matters.

May we all be able to focus on that which is truly important.

And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important!  And this is important!  And this is important!  You need to worry about this!  And this!  And this!”  And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No.  This is what’s important.”  — Iain Thomas
