Remember the Hong Kong protests? Are those still happening? It seems the news has moved on to other things. Our short attention spans are directly proportional to the lightning pace of the news. But the bushfires in Australia are still happening, the political unrest in South America is still occurring. There’s a lot going on in the world all the time. It’s like the media wants to keep us continually distracted by showing us new news, and new news, and new news. Distracted from what? It’s hard to focus our attention and our efforts on what will make the biggest impact when we are continuously bombarded with new stories. Which is why I always use #awareness when I publish these posts to social media. Without awareness, we don’t reach global consciousness or understanding. You have to be aware the ball is there to keep your eye on it. Let’s see the ball, be the ball. Our ball. The Blue Marble.
