Where Is Your Attention Going?

Does anyone remember the first day of school? The sweaty palms barely bracing your lunch tray as your knees tremble searching for a friendly face that will allow you to sit with them.

Did I select the right food?

How am I walking?

Do I look desperate?

Is it obvious that I’m nervous?

For some of us, these questions play in our heads long after grade school. But- why?

What are we willing to give up to sit at the lunch table?

I allow my values of compassion and gratitude to guide my life. Sometimes, I do falter. However, as I meet new people, I can sense who I can connect with on a deeper level. Who I can sit with and stand with in trying times.

There are people that I cross paths with who I will stand in line next to but I will sit separately from them. It is a boundary that protects my purpose.

My mission in life is to be a part of a world that helps people be authentically them.

If someone believes that controlling behaviors are who they are, they are welcome to live those realities. Their attitudes and actions will not sway me.

Judgmental and controlling behaviors are not guiding me.

I will share limited space with them, and that too, is an act of compassion.

Where Is Your Attention Going?

Why do we focus so much on what others think about us?

What are we willing to give up to sit at the lunch table?

Who you sit with shows what you stand for.
