Post 1,395: Who to Listen To
The idea that I am in control of what I look for gives me so much agency in the world. If I don’t aim my focus, then I am at the whim of anything, or anyone. If I choose what I pay attention to though, I pick my reality.
I could let the news decide for me. The world could be a scary, dangerous place.
I might let my parents, friends, or culture select for me. What if I don’t like their versions though?
Maybe I let science, religion, or institutions pick for me. How likely are they to line up with my interests?
The best part about listening to myself is, I can continue to. If my tastes change, or my goals, or my priorities, all I need to do is adjust my focus.
By giving myself the power to choose, I make it important to listen to me from now on. And then, I know for a fact someone is.
