What Gets Your Attention Gets You

"If there is one powerful thing that self-actualizing people have learned to do, it’s to control where they place their attention. They have built their environment, formed relationships, and focused their desires around that which inspires, teaches, and empowers. Author Dr. E. Stanley Jones, a friend of Gandhi’s, said it well: “What gets your attention gets you.” It gets you. Your thoughts become feelings, moods, and attitudes that direct your life. They become you."
