Your Attention

"Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do, give it to what you do or fail to do."~Buddha

Concentrate only on what you do, not others.

In today's society, we are so caught up with trying to "keep up with the Jones's." Why? Do we really need that fancy car, house, I phone? What is it about what others have that makes us want to have it as well. Are we missing out on something if we don't get it?

Be authentic, be who you are, not what others think you should be. Once you are authentic, you will know what you need to have and what you will want to have, not what you 'have' to have. Think about that for a while...

Do not give your attention to what others fail to do either. It is their failure, not yours to rejoice over or point out. We are all traveling different paths but are heading in the same direction.

If you do pay attention to what others are doing, do it in a way that uplifts and strengthens them. Do not do it in any other way.

"Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do, give it to what you do or fail to do."
