Hello everyone!

Outside noise. Outside refers to external or exterior. Dictionary.com defines noise as sound, especially of a loud, harsh, or confused kind. It can also refer to extraneous, irrelevant, or meaningless facts, information, statistics, etc.

This definition is precisely what I was looking to find.

These days, I tend to realize that outside noise is a constant in my life. It is interference or a distraction.

Whether I’m having a meaningful business conversation or a spiritual conversation, outside noise will find its way into the conversation.

The problem is that it doesn’t belong inside. Its place is always outside.

Outside Noise Can Distract Us From What Matters

Lately, I don’t hesitate to say, “Hey, this is outside noise.”

This comment is meant to help me and others realize we are getting off topic.

Outside noise will kill progress. It is meaningless interference, and it has to be cut off in its tracks.

There are those who have allowed outside noise into their lives so much that it has become the norm.

Communicating with these people can seem difficult or cumbersome at times because constant reminders are needed to get back on track and stay on track.

Do Not Let Outside Noise Inside

I’m guilty of allowing outside noise inside where it doesn’t belong.

When I realize the distraction is there, I do my very best to correct it immediately. Hopefully, without offense.

Some people are easily offended when pointing out that a conversation has become noisy and needs to get back on track.

It’s not personal.

At my age, I don’t have the mindset, memory, energy, or time to give nonsense and meaningless things room in my life.

I have to stay focused so I can retain the things that are important and need my attention.

Staying Focused on God and His Blessings

God is blessing me in my life. He’s opening up new opportunities, both natural and spiritual.

Staying focused is very important in our lives, Saints of the Most High God.

Perfect Peace: Isaiah 26:3–4 KJV

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.

Trust ye in the LORD for ever:
for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

Isaiah 26:3–4 KJV
