A lot is happening in the world right now, and it fills you with worries and fears. It seems like there is nothing good left. People are unaware that their actions have consequences, and that those actions push them towards what they’re trying to avoid.
You paid so much attention to the bad things in the world that you started having thoughts that were not yours. That’s because of fear and worry. Understand that there are things that you can do something about, and many of them you can do nothing about. When you can do nothing to improve the situation, there is only one choice, put it out of your mind.
You should constantly evaluate the things asking for your attention, and keep your focus on the ones that you can change. For all others, there is nothing you can do at this time. If new information becomes available, then you reevaluate.
It is good to guard your mind, and not let inside of it all that is happening in the world. Sometimes it’s necessary to block out everything so that you can regain some clarity. Use your mind to filter the events of the world, and reduce the amount of information that comes from everywhere.
You can only understand what you analyze and evaluate, everything else should be kept out of your mind until you’re able to pay attention to it.
People like to make a lot of noise about nothing, to talk about things they don’t know. You are not used to that because you have always tried to talk only when you have something useful to say. At the same time, it makes it difficult to navigate a world that is filled with noise disguised as information.
Correct and useful information has become hard to find. Counterintuitively, to find correct information you must refuse most of it. What you let in needs to be analyzed and questioned before being accepted. To make sense of what is going on in the world, you have to make up your own rules.
Based on these it will become easier to sort everything that comes your way. The rules are meant to simplify what is happening around you so that you can understand it faster and more easily. But pay attention to what rules you choose because they will influence everything you experience from now on.
Another thing to consider, so that you can keep a sane mind, is that what people say and do is less important than what you think and do about that. Let people make as much noise as they want because they will never stop. While they do that, you learn to pick and choose what matters.
When you learn what to accept from what is presented to you, the noise becomes a minor annoyance that can be easily ignored.
