Then I learned the laptop could not get a signal, so I made another call in.\u00a0 Hours later, they came back out. The first tech couldn&#8217;t resolve it and he called another who did.\u00a0 After I spent overnight trying to do my research over the small screen of my cell phone, it taught me to get a larger phone so I can surf the internet and actually read it.\u00a0 So at 8:00 I run out to\u00a0 Best Buy and I was out by 9:00am with <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=22803\">my new HTC One V cell phone<\/a>.<!--more-->I can&#8217;t complain when things the Brighthouse debacle happen since I know full well that on some level, conscious, unconscious or karmic, I attract all of it.\u00a0 The forced time away from technology allows me to take inner time, contemplation time, away from all the distractions, for good or bad, of the outside world.\u00a0 My best formula to keep the balance of attention outward and attention inward is about 50\/50.<\/p>\n<p>What did I learn from this?\u00a0 I learned that I can be too complacent and settle for a lesser experience than I need to when I&#8217;m too comfortable in my life.\u00a0 The result is I was compelled to buy a new phone at a great price, and I got all new equipment from Brighthouse.<\/p>\n<p>Are you settling for a lesser experience than you need to?\u00a0 Is there more available to you for very little effort, more that could make you happier and make your life more meaningful?\u00a0 Trust me, there always is.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a
