Why We Can't Focus (Part of the Reason, Anyway)

We just can't focus like we used to!

I say "we," though I know that there are those of us who never could focus. Well, not for long, that is. Why?

I believe we can't focus for lots of reasons, and the fact that these all seem to converge in each of our lives, in very personal ways, makes the multifaceted reason somewhat suspect. Something stinketh in Denmark. (Note, I have no knowledge of how Denmark smells and have absolutely nothing against the Danish!! It's an expression -- probably from a Shakespearean play and probably misquoted, at that.)

Anyway, all that just to say, there are many, many reasons why we can't focus very well today.

Living in this world is difficult. We have so many things pulling us in so many different directions that the burden of making the decisions of life can seem too much to bear. Do you feel it, too?

So (read "too") many tasks calling our names. Too many personal expectations. Too many job responsibilities. Too many cares.

It really is no wonder why we can't focus. {{We do have a place of respite if we're willing to go there! ...Just sayin'}}


Do you really want to know why we can't focus? Here. Watch this and think about the wisdom this YouTuber is sharing. This video is to dip your toe in the water

I don't know Jared Henderson, but I think I like him. I listened to what he said here, and he is speaking truth. Were you able to give your full attention to what he was telling you? If so, YAYYY! If not, you still have the link! Try again. Listen to what you can, pause it/shut it off for now, think about what you heard him say, think about it again, and you can go back and (a) listen to that part over again, or (b) pick up where you left off and do the same. Rinse and repeat until you've made it all the way through the information he shares.

He's really shooting it to us straight, and I like that. Honesty. 

But, as amazing as his message is, there's another message that is more important to hear by far, and it can be found here. Focus ALL your attention on this until you can decide whether you believe it or not. Then, let's talk some more....
