There…

“Wherever you are, make sure you’re there.”

DAN SULLIVAN

Please agree with me.

We live a world of far too many distractions.

That thing we carry around in our pockets is the perfect example of those distractions. Our cell phone distracts constantly and relentlessly.

We have to look, we have to check. It has become compulsive.

We must battle the desire not to be left out. Always looking for the next thing. The news, the noise the latest gossip.

We need to stop and be where we are.

Be with the situation. Be with the person. Be in the place we are.

Nowhere is better than the space you inhabit right now. No matter what you think or desire. You are here now and ackowledge that and be there.

Put away your phone. Step back from the distractions and be in the moment.

It will help in your relationships. It will help in the work you do. It will for practical purposes keep you safe.

Be there.
