To give full attention to whatever we are doing isn’t easy when we have a job we dislike, or must work with people who are difficult. Then our attention wanders like a child’s – looking at this glass for a moment, then at this table, then out the window. If we could only attend a little more to the work, even when we dislike it, it would become quite interesting. When we can give it our full attention, anything becomes interesting. And anything, when we do not give it our full attention, becomes uninteresting.

Thought for the Day
March 14
You must learn an inner solitude, wherever or with whomsoever you may be. You must learn to penetrate things and find God there, to get a strong impression of God firmly fixed in your mind.
