As modern life makes a wealth of
information and opportunities available to us, we may find ourselves torn
between a wide variety of interests and projects. Our excitement may
entice us to try all of them at once, but doing so only diffuses our
energy, leaving us unable to fully experience any of them. Like an
electrical socket with too many things plugged into it, we may be in
danger of overheating and burning out. But if we can choose one thing at
a time to focus all of our attention upon, we can make the most of our
life-force energy, engaging ourselves fully in the moment so that it can
nurture us in return.
Our attention can be pulled in many
directions, not only in our own lives, but by advertising, media, and the
hustle and bustle of our surroundings. But when we take the time to
listen to our inner guidance and focus our thoughts on the goals that
resonate the most strongly within us, the rest of the world will fade
away. This may mean focusing the spotlight of our attention on developing
one aspect of our work, one course of study, or one hobby to pursue in
our free time, but it doesn’t mean that we have to stay focused on only
one thing forever. We may never know which of our interests is best
suited to our abilities and heart’s desires unless we give it a proper
chance. By being fully present with all that we are and all that we have,
we can experience each choice fully and make the most fulfilling choices
for our energetic investments.
Because we are multi-faceted beings, we
are perpetually involved in many aspects of life in every moment. Our
work in the world is necessary to attend to our physical needs, and our
relationships are important for our emotional needs, but when we engage our
spirit as well, we can choose the area that will nurture our body, mind,
and soul. Staying focused in each moment allows us to move with the
rhythmic flow of the universe and harmonize all aspects of our being into
a balanced whole.
