Where is my focus?

Sometimes it is easier to see the beautiful in the inanimate world than in the people around me. I find that to stay energized I have to retreat to a place of solitude and clarity. It is comfortable there. But I can't stay. Life is messy. And that is where we are called to be - in the beautiful mess.

Introvert: a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.

Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
