Paying Attention to What We Pay Attention To
[LCM Jly04-9]
What would your life be like if you were able to focus your attention on three priorities for a week? What if you were able to concentrate and focus on those activities, in spite of distractions?
“In the final analysis, the quality of our life depends on our ability to consciously choose who and what we give our thoughts, interests moments and emotions to.” — Author Sam Horn, in Conzentrate: Get Focused and Pay Attention – When Life Is Filled With Pressures, Distractions, and Multiple Priorities (2000).
Few people understand what concentration means, or how important a role it plays in our lives. Life consists of what we pay attention to. If we focus on meaningful, positive things, we’ll have a meaningful, positive life. If we focus on meaningless, negative things, we’ll have a meaningless, negative life. This is simplistic and also enduringly profound: one of life’s great truths.
“Our experience is what we attend to.” —William James
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts.”— Buddha
