Living in the world today is being a busy life…
“Living in the world today is being a busy life participant. Busy at home, busy at work, social activities¦ living as in - eating - shopping for ingredients, cooking, eating, washing up¦ dressing - driving to the shops, shopping for appropriate clothing¦ a home to live in - furnishing, the cleaning of inside and outside the home¦ The list is unique to everyone as we are all free to choose what we do. Work - differs in each of us. Social activities -are our own choices. It is tough to stay focused on an event when other needs are being whisked through your thinking mind. This thinking mind does not turn off unless you have focused on what it is repetitively saying. Until that time when you are actually listening and hearing the words as they are said and the meaning you put towards them do you really stop and listen to your minds chatter.”
