Change your focus :: 25

According to ancient wisdom language and reality are connected. That´s interesting ! Anyway, some people indeed have a really interesting language, almost as if they could change your world with just a few words ( to the better of course, talking about great people ).

I remember a friend who I complained to about xx things, repeating the topic again and again, but he wouldn’t relate to that. Instead he looked at me and said: Change your focus.

Change your focus ? He didn’t say that because he was annoyed, he said that as if he knew that was the remedy, the solution of the whole issue.

Last year I read the ancient yoga texts. And here it was - everything. For example - if you cannot find the concentration ( aka: yoga ) because there is a thought, a topic, you simply can’t stop thinking of - change your focus. CHANGE YOUR FOCUS. Think of something different.

I had my yoga teachers long before I knew about yoga. And they didn ́t even practice yoga. Maybe real yoga teachers don’t make handstands and the down-looking dog.

I really love these ancient texts, they are too funny. And people weren’t different to us in the 90s, that’s incredible ! In the kamasutra there is an extra chapter called „How to get rid of a boyfriend/ lover." Not only that people some thousand !! years ago obviously had the very same issues - how to attract someone you like and how to get rid of someone you got bored of - they had the very same suggested solutions ! I knew all that from the 90s, it was our culture, we did that all the time without even thinking about it. We applied the suggestions of the kamasutra, without even reading the kamasutra ( ok, some did ). That is really interesting.

And there are still people out there speaking this language, using these words. Otherwise one can find them printed on postcards and t shirts ;)
