trapped
in trivia
until you learn
to let go
to see even the huge things
as small in the context of eternity
and just learn from your past
instead of permanently

“If you focus on failure, you can never succeed. If you focus on being hurt in a relationship, you can never be loved. Whatever you focus on, you create.”
— John Assaraf
focus
amplifies
reinforces
augments

the subject
of the focus
be careful
what you choose
to focus on
because
it will crowd out everything else
focus on this moment
what you can actually do
right now
it’s the only chance you have
to make any difference
to change anything
that worries you
channel the worry
into changing this moment
into your own growth
“Focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t. Small steps turn into miles.”

90% of life is completely beyond your control
circumstances, nature, choices others make
8% you may be able to influence over time

“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful. You’ll be too preoccupied with what so-and-so is doing, and why, and what they’re saying, and what they’re thinking, and what they’re up to, and all the other things that throw you off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations”—
