“Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It presupposes faith and love. Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.” ― Simone Weil, Simone Weil: An Anthology
Everyone (and everything) is competing for your attention, use it wisely, you don’t get the time back! Your energy flows to where your attention goes.
The currency of life isn’t money. It is not even time. It’s attention.
In the war of attention, outwit, outlast, outplay.
What you trade your attention for is what your life becomes.
