“To enjoy the kind of experience you want rather than enduring the kind that you feel stuck with, you have to take charge of your attention. Far more than you may realize, your experience, your world, and even your self are the creations of what you focus on. From distressing sights to soothing sounds, protean thoughts to roiling emotions, the targets of your attention are the building blocks of your life.”
