Looking Through a Straw

Metaphorically speaking, looking through a straw allows us to focus on ourselves or the things that we think are most important in our lives at the time. It enables us to focus our energy on what we want in life and out of life. However, if we are always concentrating on looking through the straw, we lose perspective. It's almost like having tunnel vision and as a result, we lose sight of the beauty that surrounds us. On the other hand, if we never focus our energy on the important things, the things that make us who we are as individuals, then we lose sight of ourselves and our own dreams. It's all about finding the correct balance and I'm working on that. ; )
