Destiny pleads for our attention as ego blocks the way.
~R. H. Lelchuk
Your life becomes what you put your attention on. If you watch the news and take in all of the doom and gloom, that’s what you life will take on. Focus your attention on your definite chief aim, happiness, desire and your goals, that’s what your life will take on.
When you are in a conversation with someone are you just waiting your turn to talk? Are you really listening to what is being said or are you merely judging and evaluating? The way we listen to others can determine the amount of valuable and insightful information we gain from another.
Got to have the next best thing, shiny object syndrome, over there is better than over here… and on and on and on.
Allowing your to attention wander and your focus blur the further from your goal you will find yourself. Keep your eye on the ball.
Intently focusing your attention and thought on the problem at hand is the most direct path to its accomplishment. The time spent in preparation is its own reward.
