In an era where disinformation dominates our digital landscape, our ability to focus is more important than ever. Attention acts as a filter, helping us distinguish truth from falsehood, meaning from manipulation. When we become aware of how our focus is being hijacked—whether by sensationalized news, social media algorithms, or ideological echo chambers—we regain control over our understanding of the world. Cultivating mindfulness and critical thinking allows us to engage meaningfully with information, fostering a sense of purpose and clarity in an otherwise fragmented reality. In short, where we direct our attention shapes how we make sense of our lives.
