When We Cannot Pay Attention

By May 23, 2022Be Well Today

Often when we attend a seminar, a workshop, or some form of support meeting we are there with our own agendas. If what we are listening to does not reinforce the importance of our agendas we usually have no reason to pay attention. I mean after all, aren’t we there for ourselves. After all, how can we agree with someone who disagrees with us. What some of us have discovered is that what we don’t agree with is that we are simply not there. And being simply not there might be is that we are simply not there yet. What some of us have discovered is we need to pay attention to others as best we can. There are many truths and many stories. Even though another’s story differs from ours it might help us or someone we know someday, somewhere, somehow. It might even save someone’s life. Thank you for reading.
