Over Load
Are we overloading ourselves?
I know I talked about distractions yesterday, but it is still on my mind. I am wondering if we are not overloading our lives with too much. I watch my children fill their heads with music, television, Internet, YouTube, Facebook, IM, texting, and who knows what else. These things fill their heads, their thoughts and their actions.
When we do this, are we still listening? Can we stay focused on that which is important? I know that I sometimes I let work overload my thoughts. I get frustrated. I can't focus on other things without turning back to the issue at work. When I want to read scriptures, I find myself thinking about work. When I pray, I find myself thinking about work. Is this good?
I don't think so. I think that we need to remove ourselves from those things and focus. It is not always easy. Sometimes we let life get in the way of school, work, or family. We get so much going on in our heads that we don't stop and focus on the task at hand. I guess I am saying that we need to keep the balance in our lives. If you figure out how I can do it better, let me know.
