The attention that we afford others should come with a higher price tag instead of the discounted rate that our attention to their distraction allows them to afford.
When we allow distractions "The Luxury of Our Attention," they become emboldened in what they think they can actually, really and truly afford. They become comfortable within our comfort zone, so much so that their boldness is more comfortable within our parameters than we are within our own parameters. The infiltration and manipulation are well underway at that point.
We should not allow anything or anyone to become "comfortable" within our space and not at least charge them for what they are occupying. The "price" is not relative to or for the purposes of any kind of monetary gain. Rather, it is for the purposes of justifying the time that is yours, in which they occupy, to avoid any type of costly emotional strain or drain.
If we were to only make continuous withdrawals from our financial accounts sans any deposits whatsoever, it is a safe bet that we would eventually run out of the same funds that we never took or made the time in which to replenish. This philosophical approach is relative in nature with a direct correlation in respect to our "time."
Be careful in who and what you invest your time in. Just because you have the time does not mean that you should make the time for something that might not even deserve your time, which is the only thing that we cannot purchase more of or ever get back once it's gone.
The "Luxury of Our Attention" should not be affordable to all, and the management of our "time" will dictate whether or not we are made better or bitter, should we NOT take that call.
God, Love, And Smile Always!
