This is a YouTube video titled "Eckhart Tolle on the Invitation in an Upset" containing a spoken reflection by Jason Fried on the concept of distinguishing primary and secondary importance in moments of upset, emphasizing consciousness and presence. Although the title references Eckhart Tolle, the excerpt features only Jason Fried speaking, discussing mindfulness and emotional awareness.
And whenever you are upset about situations and people. Oh, it's a reminder then that there was a confusion about importance. What matters and what is secondary and what is primary? Secondary is the external situation. Primary is your state of consciousness that you bring to it. So when you are the moment you become upset, you've forgotten that. Well, that in itself can be a sign to become present again. So if you're vigilant about getting upset about things, then you can use it as an alarm clock. Any kind of upset in any situation. Oh, I must have confused what Primary and secondary and okay. And then you can bring your Invite the alertness.
