Or how's your day going?

Right?

Like, don't know, don't care, but I know how I'm going about my day.

And so first you got to take your attention back.

That starts by having a strong intention or target.

Like the reason Elon Musk or any of these great successful people

are so successful, it's not just that they're smart, although that's a part of it.

It's they have such a well-defined, big, hairy, audacious goal that is the thing that makes them come alive.

They're so focused on where they're going that there's no attention left over to get stolen by the world.

I mean, obviously they still get stuck and snagged, but then they snap back because of that vision.

And that's key.

So that's why you got to first know yourself.

You got to know what you're made of or made for, what you just really, really want.

You got to define it, write it down, start to design a life and actually put it on your freaking calendar and

And start investing your time, talent, and treasure into it, even incrementally.

And you'll strengthen that intention.

And then there's a part of the brain called the reticular activating system, the RAS.

And when you are focused and you're thinking about something all the time and you're focused on something, it will start to aim you and show you all the things that align with that.

That's not mystical, it's actually practical.

So as you got a clear vision, a clear intention, your attention now starts to go to what is aligned with the intention.
