Be Specific In Life

“To be everywhere is to be nowhere.”

—Seneca

Letters From A Stoic

Today's technology tempts us to be omnipresent—scrolling through social media, replying to every ping and buzz of our devices, trying to keep up with endless news streams.

Amidst this digital deluge, Seneca's words ring with clarity: "To be everywhere is to be nowhere."

When we scatter our attention across too many places, we end up not truly being present anywhere. It's like having a conversation while your eyes dart around the room; you hear the words, but you're not really listening. Is your constant multitasking at work or half-hearted presence with loved ones robbing you of meaningful engagement in the here and now?

Consider this an invitation to reassess the value of your attention and presence. What if, for one day, you chose to do one thing at a time? Try having your morning coffee without checking your phone. Focus solely on your work tasks in planned blocks, or listen wholeheartedly when someone speaks to you.

You may quickly discover that by choosing to be fully present in one place at a time, you actually experience life more deeply.

Where will you choose to be truly present today?
