Budhist Meditation Reflection

During 20 minutes of meditating in my bedroom, I had a hard time focusing in the first 5 minutes. After the first five minutes which i felt blank-minded I started to have a serious thought. I thought hard about what i wanted to be when i grew up. I always had a hard time thinking about what i'd like to do if i grew older, due to the constant disturbance of my surroundings. But as i continued to meditate i was thinking and it came to me that I should think about the present and worry about the future later. One other thing that I realized is the nature around us. I was able to hear the sound of leaves in my background and my dog barking and also the sound of the pet birds my sister has. What I usually get disturbed by looked differently and it also made me think about the noises they make and made me think why are they making the noises. Overall, the silent meditation helped me realize things that I never usually tend to think about, and how comforting it can be rather than distracting.
