Have you ever caught yourself so wrapped up in what someone else is doing that you end up not doing what you should be doing? You know what I mean, you are concentrating too much on the guy ahead of you that you run the traffic light.
Another such incident comes to mind...you are too distracted watching someone else do something that you walk into the door or the street sign or the utility pole. Don't sit there acting as though you have never had the experience.
Today's word is a quote I came across that says, "The only way to succeed is to not worry about what anyone else is doing."
It is a fact that we often get so distracted by what everyone else is doing that we lose sight of what we are supposed to be doing. We get so caught up in all the things the other person is doing wrong that we make our own set of errors and mistakes. We get so engrossed in their undertakings that we fail to see the things that are taking us under.
Maybe what we should do is concentrate more on what we have been called to do. What we should do is do OUR thing and not worry about what everyone else is doing. Yes, there are times that we need to be concerned about what others are doing; we certainly should be concerned if their actions are going to cause us or our loved ones harm. But, we shouldn't be so distracted by the everyday doings of others that we fail to accomplish the task laid before us.
I admit that I have been distracted by the doings of others. I am going to try and concentrate more on accomplishing my thing, and maybe be successful at doing what I have been called to do.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
