Deep dives

Attention determines the quality of your life

The quality of your life is determined by what you choose to pay attention to. Attention determines your work, whether you make progress on important tasks or waste time on trivial efforts. It also affects your mood, either inspiring or engaging you, or leaving you feeling afraid or angry. Attention also impacts your relationships, determining whether you cultivate deep bonds or remain distant. Ultimately, our lives are shaped by the things we pay attention to. Building a life of focus involves consciously directing our attention towards what truly matters.
