Attention

One of the most difficult things for some (most?) is to live in the present. They believe they do, but they don't. They regularly let their imagination take them elsewhere, in the past or in the future. They are often unable to concentrate on what they are doing because they allow their mind to drift away on a sort of continuous daydreaming. And many, many times do they miss out on the experiences they meet in their daily life by simply ignoring what they are doing. Here is a simple example. Have you ever drunk your coffee while reading the newspaper or listening to the news? If you have, you most probably haven't tasted your coffee at all. Your attention was somewhere else. An experience that wasn't lived, as it hadn't taken place.
