What’s On Your Mind

Posted on November 13, 2015 by James R. Yarbrough

What you do now is what you should focus on. You can think about many things, but you can only focus on one at a time. To try to do more could cause a mistake. To think that it is special to do more than one thing at time is misleading, at best. It is not a special skill to multitask. It simply divides the effort, which takes away from the whole of each. It is analogous to being able to see more than one thing, while having the sense and design to only focus on one at a time. That is, unless they are the same kind. If not, you will be drawn to the difference.

We can do more than one thing at a time but will not think more than one thought at a time.

What I write is inspired by the Creator. It is a natural process, not forced or coerced. It is written as it flows into my mind, and my life experiences and observations of the wonders of nature are the foundation for my insight. I am on a mission to let how I think be a voice that has not been heard. What I write and say is what I believe. My life has been a road well traveled. There have been freeways, side streets and dead ends. I have been cautioned, sped up and slowed down. I have changed lanes, merged with traffic and yielded to the right of way. I have been first at four way stops and the last to leave. I have driven through heavy rain, sunny days, and dark nights. It is after the darkest of them all, that I came to an intersection. I could pray on or move on. I now move with the traffic. I speed up when I can slow down when I should and pass when I must. Though, I am not in a hurry for life to me is not a race. We get to the end of the road soon enough. I made a decision to stay on the road of life. To take the off ramp is a thing I did not want to do. I know there is more to say than what has been said. What I have to say is not academic; I simply look at life in a way you may never have. It is how I see the world.
