How easily your mind is distracted!  Even when you set a goal of focusing on one
thing it wanders off in another direction like an unruly child.  We highly recommend patience and
training.  Just as with a child, you must
set a goal and train the mind to achieve it. 
Why do you want to go to the effort? 
Ego has been in charge of your mind for quite a while.  Spirit would like to play a greater
role.  Beneath all of the chatter in the
brain and beyond the constant drifting off lies a place of peace and love.  The better trained you are at finding that
place and holding that state, the longer you can remain there.  Meditation is the training ground.  Who is really in charge here?  Finding the answer is a matter of perception
and practice.
