Where is our focus?

It is said:
When one door closes, another is opened or when one door is closed, God opens a window.

These are words of wisdom usually given to others or received by others in times of trial and they definitely have there place in our lives, since we can't seem to stay focused in our daily lives for more than a few minutes at any one given time. In the twenty first century everyone and I do mean everyone is constantly plugged in. Whether we are watching television or listening to the radio, on our work/home desktop/laptop computers or on the web via our cell phones, emailing, talking to (on rare occasions face-to-face), instant messaging, facebooking, etc. We are in a constant state of, for lack of better words, chaos. In my previous post I spoke of being compassionate for all of our brothers and sisters...this is and always will be true. I am currently wondering how this can be accomplished when we can't seem to focus and enjoy one tasks at a time in our busy-ness of living. Multitasking has its place in our society and serves a very good purpose when utilized correctly. However, somewhere in the past fifty or so years lost sight of the true purpose of multitasking, instead we've crammed so many things on our to-do lists that if you don't multitask then you fail miserably. This isn't the way to LIVE. It may very well be the way to die...afterall in the past fifty years or so how many more ailments have been invented, yet no one is stopping to really take a look at what's causing the problems...No one is FOCUSING on life. The simple tasks of being with family, taking in some nature, gardening, rolling in the grass, playing ball in the street, writing letters and sending them via snail mail, etc. Sure some of these things used to be done out of necessity rather than because they were enjoyable, but really aren't all of us longing for more in our lives. More time to do the things we love or spend time with our loved ones. Helloooooooo....when will we wake up and grab hold of the opportunities we take for granted everyday and walk through that open door to really and truly start living.

I'm READY!!!
