Get Yourself A Refill of Fresh Attention Every 24 Hours
And why you better use it and not abuse it
Every day, you have a new chance to use your valuable skill to pay attention, instead of abusing it.
Most of us abuse it.
Our ability to pay attention to what is necessary and what deserves our attention is limited.
We get hammered with too much news, ads, sales, and people’s daily drama stories. And we are so dumb that we let all of that — which is mostly useless, annoying, and unnecessary — cloud our brains and moods.
The result is that we blunt ourselves against what is important. We end up only seeing the bad stuff and can’t see anymore the good stuff.
Do you want to keep going on like that?
Maybe what we need to do is invest a daily effort in paying attention to the good things, the things that are important and valuable to us.
It puts you in a better mood. It makes you a better listener. You improve your relationships. You create more productive work.
And I’ll be bold and say it: It makes you a better human being.
