Rise!
It’s a Communication Wasteland. So Much Noise! And a long stretch between communication moments that move you — that speak to body, mind, and soul.
So, how does a rational person conduct themselves?
Input: Choose carefully what you allow in. (No Garbage In.)
Remember that it’s not all terrible. Hidden amid all the strip malls, freeways and crowds is a wonderland of creative, engaging people, places, things, and ideas to challenge, entertain and reward your sustained interest and commitment.
But you must search them out and exchange for the value you receive with your continued loyalty.
You may have to dig for the good stuff!
But don’t sink to the level of what’s easily available…
Rise!
Recognize too that you have your limits: you can only take in so much information before you suffer “Ram Overload” and melt down.
Step away from the console, and the devices.
Select a book. Eat something you sautéed for dinner. Take a bath. Get a massage. Breathe. Study Tai chi or simply walk in the park.
What you choose to grace with your attention should be worth the investment…
So, choose carefully and try to “improve your grazing habits.”
Make sure you’re giving time to something that honors — even repays — your commitment to…
Rise!
