Direction

 Face the direction in which you are going.  It is actually a sign at an airport.  How many times I have been thrown off my path, bumped into something or someone, caused confusion, all because I was walking in one direction bu looking in another.  The worst is to be driving and fixing your rear view mirror or staring into it!  Yikes.  The spiritual path is the same way.  Avoid a focus on distractions.  If they do come up, let go and get back to your original purpose.  Take a zoom meeting on a spiritual topic or growing into fit spiritual condition.  You check into the meeting, and then instead of listening and participating, you go into checking your email or FB page.  Maybe the meeting is on your iPad and you go into your cell phone.  What you are doing is bumping into your self in its self-centered, self-imploded mode.  You contribute nothing to the virtual meeting and get nothing from it.  I confess.  Been there and done that.  Face the direction in which you are going.
