Why You Can't Think Straight

 Media news ads advertising 
fantasy unreal unrealistic characters in stories 

telling you what you should be, have, think, eat, drink, go, own,
hobbies, habits, way to dress, what to drive, where to live, vacation

comparing yourself oneself to any other being

Too many outside influences input

Your eyes are open too much: CLOSE YOUR EYES more often

Your ears are hearing too much: SHUT OFF the noise, chatter, other people
talking about stuff you don't need to listen to

BLOCK it out

You lost focus and direction and became scattered

You listen to too many fools telling you what to do

You lost touch with your core inner intuition self
that you were born with. Every child is in touch with nature.
This is why we love children and young people and baby animals so much. 

Misery lies in materialism.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." -- Melody Beattie
