When I was with a friend last year, I remember touching upon what was going on with the presidential election in America. I had been paying attention to this, but this friend hadn't been doing the same thing.
I said that it was hard to work out what was going on and he said that there was no way of really knowing, or something something similar. Not only this, he didn't see the point in getting caught up in what was going on; after all, it wasn't as though we could do anything about it.
Another Distraction
If anything, he saw this as another distraction and something that would simply take his attention away from what he did have control over. It was then about bringing it back to the self and letting go of the distractions.
What this came down to is that he was aware of how important it was for us to use his attention wisely. And if he was to get caught up in this and to focus on something he no control over, it would be a waste of his time, attention and energy.
A Reminder
This wasn't the first time that I had heard anyone say this, as I had about this before; there have even been moments in my own life when I had applied this. Even so, this was a time in my life when I forget about what I 'knew'.
Fortunately, Wain, the friend who I am talking about, isn't the kind of person who acts like he knows everything. So, although I had slipped up, so to speak, I didn't feel as though I was being criticised.
Another Experience
A little while after this, he spoke about a moment in his own life when what was taking place within them had been mirrored back by others. This experienced reminded him of how careful he needed to be when it came to what he focused on.
