Our lives are what we pay attention to
Focus is the skill that helps you draw your attention to just one thing in the midst of distractions. It then helps you sustain the energy you need to reach your goal and live the life that you want instead of letting the external world decide where you pay attention to.
We experience only what we pay attention to.
We remember only what we pay attention to
When we decide what to pay attention to in the moment we are making a broader decision about how we want to spend our lives.
