Many people around me these days seem to be a bit overloaded.
To put it simply, we seem to have a lot on our plates of things that we need to deal with.
These requests and demands for our time, money, energy, and attention are multiplied as the increased connections that are presented with the growth of electronic and social media inputs rises exponentially.
Perhaps what is needed in order to not be inundated by this seeming tidal wave is a return to the basics. For me, this might begin with food, shelter, and the connection to others that makes everything worthwhile.
This might be called attention, or love, or meaning. It might not be what others request or demand, but that which we find is important to us when we look inside ourselves.
As this holiday season is upon us, I wish to remind us all to take a moment to contemplate what we and the world around us really need, and not to become lost in the plethora of perhaps impossible demands that we are presented with each day.
That which is really important to us will arise and can be attended to.
Much, or at least some things are not, or can be left to others.
Look in your hearts and pick some basic things you can do that fulfill you and your basic needs, both materially and spiritually.
Seek a path that promotes contentment and at least some joy.
The world needs this as much as you. Seek Balance.
Blessings to All,
Daniel
