Your Most Precious Asset

The following can be your most precious asset or your biggest liability.

Can you guess what it is?

'Uh....Bitcoin?'

No. It rhymes with convention.

'Uh....money?'

Fool!

That doesn't rhyme with convention.

But let me cut right to the chase.

Your biggest asset or liability is your:ATTENTION.

Your attention is a primal currency that will dictate your future.

Either you are wielding it in the right direction or not.

Only time will tell.

In today's world, virtually anything that moves is fighting for your most precious currency.

Your friends.

Your pet.

Your local politicians.

The news media.

And so much more.

The reason they are fighting for your attention is ultimately to get you to do something.

Your friends want your advice.

Your pet wants you to pet them.

The politicians want your vote.

The media wants your ratings.

Where there is attention, there is often a call to action (CTA).

They want you to take some form of an action.

Without the attention, you can have the best service, product or offer in the world, but you won't be able to produce.

Attention in many ways is what has kept the human species running.

But it is also the same thing that has caused of lot of rotten lives.

Mix psychology with attention & now people have the power to brainwash you.

Think about the epidemic with fake news as of late.

They grab your attention with a click baity title.

Then they use the psychology of outrage, selective details & pattern interrupts to alter your perception.

An altered perception by society often leads you to become dependent, not independent.

'Why?'

Because dependent people are much easier to profit form.

Which is why you need to leverage this information!

In order to turn your attention into an ASSET, the only person who should be control of it is YOU.

That will require your internal world to overpower your external world.

A small test that I want you to execute after reading this blog is to write a 1 page essay.

Talk about your day.

'Okay what's so hard about that?'

I want you to do it with your phone RIGHT next to you.

Literally, place it right next to the laptop as you type.

'But that will distract me!'

Yes, that's the point.

I want you to put yourself in a state of discomfort.

Feel the cellphone trying to take your attention away from your work.

But DO NOT budge.

Just type away...

You are placing yourself in an uncomfortable state to battle test yourself.

If you can't even fight off a mere cellphone, how the fuck are you going to fight off a society that is trying to take your attention?

'Uhh....'

Exactly!

Ultimately, the goal of this exercise is to show you how powerful you truly are.

Once you finish the 1 page essay, you are going to realize that you were in control all along.

And once you are in control, you are now on the roadway towards independence.

Now you are more AWARE of what you place your attention on.

Gossip, click baits & haters?

Or

Life purpose, goals & friends?

The choice is yours.

Just understand that you will become what you place your attention on.

Your attention is serving as your internal compass.
