Daily Gratitude: Too many of us spend too much time on this. It handcuffs and hamstrings us in so many ways. If we keep our eye on the road ahead of us and stop worrying about the traffic around us, the way before will be spread for our taking. We can see better if we look ahead without worrying about others. If, though, we spend time wondering what others think, our attention is removed from that which we want and should be paying attention to. In a sense we need to don artificial blinders so we simply look forward. As with all else, awareness is the key here. We have to be aware that we’re feeling concerned with what others see or think. Once we’re aware we can use our simple “so what?” Question to snap us out of that other world back into what we’re doing.
