We live in a world of distractions. What is available to us can be overwhelming and depleting. The economic paradigm wants us to desire more, yet, we have forgotten that we have a choice. Without becoming a hermit, we can decide how to be.

The art of focusing does not require rigidity or a strong linear mind, it invites us to embrace the flow of life, to flex and develop an agility of the mind without jumping all over the place. The art of focusing enhances our capacity to think, feel, and be grounded.

Without focus, we don’t know who we are, and from there nothing can be created. When we learn to focus, we learn to be connected within ourselves. We learn to listen to our senses which are the doorway to sanity. When we keep listening to our thinking mind, we believe that pleasure and comfort are the purposes of living, and we get sicker.

The art of focusing demands us to be with nature, our ultimate teacher. If not, we keep on getting more dull, reactive, or opportunist. Let us drop and listen with all our senses, eat with the season, prepare our own food, listen to the wind, smell the plants, and be. And as always, the choice is ours.

One of the greatest challenges in today’s culture is that we have forgotten what a community is. True community is not built on uniformity; it is built on authenticity.

A community is a space where each person is encouraged to connect with their true self. From that place of inner truth, we learn to dance with each other’s uniqueness. We grow by witnessing one another. We learn to love more fully, expand our awareness, and open to perspectives beyond our own.

We may bump into each other’s, experience our fears, projections, hopes, or attachments and in doing so, we heal. We stay awake and stretch our hearts wider than we ever imagined possible.

True community is rooted in diversity. If our opinions, belief systems, our tastes are exactly the same, our sense of self begins to dissolve. Belonging does not come from subscribing to an ideology, it comes from living in alignment with our truth and being accepted for it.

Nature offers us the perfect example; it thrives in diversity. As humans, it is our responsibility to build, nurture, and participate in communities. When we unplug from this essential connection, everything begins to fall apart, and human values erode.

Remember, we always have a choice.
