Anything You Devote Your Full Attention to BECOMES Interesting
Here’s how to use this psychological fact to separate yourself from your competition
Most people just don’t have what it takes to stay focused on their goals for more than like…a few seconds. That’s a big problem — for them, but not for you.
No, this is YOUR advantage.
THIS is how you get ahead by capitalizing on your unfair advantages, and being able to deeply immerse yourself in what you find meaningful when other people are drowning in distraction is a KEY SKILL.
The attention crisis is only getting worse, which means that other people are going to find it more and more difficult to focus on what’s important — what will help them compete with you — and your opportunities are only going to expand.
IF you double down on your ability to focus. Luckily, with how the mind works, this is eminently possible for you.
Opportunities for you to separate yourself are everywhere if you only develop the eyes to see them, and this is one of them.
The competitive landscape is so easy to dominate for the people who can focus now…it’s like you can just TAKE any kind of success you want. Because your “competition” is helplessly scrolling their lives away.
If you want money, you can just take it, because as a focused professional you are the rarest of the rare, and there’s no one with enough attentional space — enough bandwidth — ever to pose a threat to you.
You can just take what you want.
That is, you can take what you want when you can learn to focus. When you compete…HARD…by leveraging your ability to stay on task and dedicate every waking neuron to achieving your goals.
Everything is free when you can focus better and for longer than everyone else.
This is the truth. You can just take what you want and no one can stop you. They can’t even FOCUS ON YOU long enough to stop you.
Have you any idea how AMAZING that is? How big an ADVANTAGE that is? How big of an OPPORTUNITY for you to seize everything you’ve ever wanted?
I was thinking about this earlier today and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind:
