Personal Meditation No. 102

"Start worrying about yourself. If you don't invest in your own life, then why would anyone else choose to invest in your life either."

Embrace the Within.

I don’t know about you, however I have way too many things to worry about in my own life to keep concerned with worrying about what other people do. I see the other side every day and I really don’t understand being so concerned with the lives of other people. Sure, I want the best for you. I want you to be better. But I’m not going to spend my day concerned with the minutia of your life. I have a lot more to do in my life that takes precedence.

I don’t watch or listen to the news anymore. I get any information about what’s “going on” secondhand. I have plenty going on myself. I have a job, a home, a wife, and four kids . . . That leaves me with barely enough time to carve out for my folks and wrasslin but I manage. I chose to invest my time where I get enjoyment, where I have control, where I care. And there is a lot about this world for which I do not care.

No one is going to come feed my chickens, water my crops, build my fences, help my kids with homework, fix my meals, or any of the multiple other things I have to handle in my life. There is also never a shortage of folks that think they can do better. There are always folks not doing what I’m doing that will know better than me how to live my life. You will get those some concerns as well. There is never a shortage of hate in this world. There is only a shortage of love.

You get to choose each day just like I get to choose each day where the focus of life is going to shine. Am I going to invest in me or am I going to keep in the rut? Your focus determines your reality. Where is your focus today? I know where mine is.

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
