The World Is Too Much With Us

We are constantly bombared with information, which on the surface seems positive hey. But do we really need to absorb all of this extra stuff?

Magazines that tell us we need to have xyz gaget, the big house, the new car, the high power career................... And of course how to look and feel - even how many children we should have. And we "need" to do it all, the perfect partner, perfect mother, perfect work collegue.

Sarah writes "we are chronically exhausted from the getting (the amount of energy spent earning a living), and juggling the demands of home and career." We are paying now for the spending of yesterday.

So as asked earlier - do we really need all this extra stuff in our heads, and cluttering our cupboards?

Why to we ransom off our tomorrow's chasing things we dont need, and thus moving away from our authentic selves and what is really important to us?

Sarah advises - Today, deliberately turn away from the world. Dont read the newspaper, or watch / listen to the news. Instead listen to your inner voice, who is burried under all that external noise. Once we obtain this inner knowledge about ourselves, we will have the ability to change our outer worlds.

Maybe see if you can extend it to the rest of the week.
