In this episode, we talk about the 4 Biblical steps to quiet the chaos in your mind.

You’ve got the attention span of a goldfish. Okay, my friend before you go and get mad at me, those aren't my words. But the average attention span for a goldfish is 9 seconds. Yep, that's it. But here's the kicker according to a new study from Microsoft Corporation, human beings lose concentration after 8 seconds. That's it. Like, I've seen the difference, just watch a sitcom today compared to 20 years ago and you'll see a vast difference in the pacing and the changing of the scenes. 

In fact, just a few months ago while I was on YouTube and old favorite, sitcom popped up into my feed. It was a short episode of The Golden Girls and I was feeling a little nostalgic. So I watch the four-minute clip and I was shocked at the thought that I had one minute into the show and I, here's what I thought. Wow, this is really moving slow and I would never have considered myself a person with a short attention span. But I think that there's no doubt that I to fall into the goldfish bowl and whether our attention, spans are shorter because of the media or the media adjusted to account for our attention span. I don't know, but what I do know is that there is no debating, the fact that our lives are over loaded and it's not just TV and social media. It's our thoughts.
