Forsake the Rest

Forsake the Rest We forsake innumerable issues every day. And thats usually okay because most of whats going on in the world doesnt require our attention: local politics in Saskatoon, escalator maintenance at a nearby shopping mall, bronze statues of great basketball players. Its not that we cant focus on these inane concernsâ€"its just that they arent top of mind. But of course we forsake many of our so-called priorities, too: health, relationships, creativity, contribution. Its not that we cant focus on these important mattersâ€"its just that they arent top of mind. Which brings some questions to mind: What am I focused on today? What should I be focused on? That is, what aligns with my values, beliefs, desires, interests, mission? Would life be better if I focused on those few things and forsook the rest? Subscribe to The Minimalists via email.
