Daily events are affected by agendas. Recently I had a recurring experience in staying focused. For 48 hours events beyond my control kept coming at me. I knew what my mission should be, yet found out that there are other interests trying to drive my day.
After a while, I backed away from everything and began to do a serious analysis of events. There were religious, political, social and economic issues. People were involved. Many were passionate about their respective issues and I was surprised at the passion expressed. I was also concerned at the shading and amount of information supplied. I also discovered much disinformation and misinformation. Naturally, I finally figured it out. No amount of conversation will change other peoples passion. Yet, these conversation will keep me from fulfilling my call and mission.
Paul Harvey, one of my favorites commentator used to talk about "the rest of the story". Let's practice a new process: Check the facts, don't gossip and spread rumors, be honest, and by all means, "stay on your mission".
