Attention: The key to Influence

*Attention: The Key to Influence***

Attention is the key to influence. A token by which individuals, occurences and the various constituents of life are given power to affect one's decision(s). All decisions be they productive or indolent, find their roots in this gem. Wherever one places his/her heedfulness there, are his/her choices and preferences hinged.

By virtue of the occurences and people we surrender our attention to, to them we give power to alter our perceptions and shift our views. One's direction will go only but one way: that of his vision. A man's mental disposition is in absolute correlation with those of his teachers he heeded the most: and his truths also align with the thoughts he has habitually chosen to entertain. He who hearkens to a soldier, will surely regard life as a battlefield. He who delights himself in sweet quiet music will surely appreciate the inherent beauty, both of nature and Man.

Your world view, is the rock from which your actions are hewn. A man's way falls within the confinements of his Perception. He only acts in the way he perceives a situation. Our perception is the way we analyze activity, scrutinize the scripts of life and pass judgement. Our perceptions are the aggregation of the great many scenes we have passed through in life and the conclusions we have gathered therefrom. No man is without one: each of us is bound by some viewpoint, wrong or right. How you and I will fare in life, is dependent on how we have defined our world and interpret it.

Give your attention to things that matter: surrender your time to that which be worth your thought. Be watchful only for those things that are needful and inspire you. Let your focus be that which tends to better decisions and brighter dispositions.

It is a statement of proven truth, that a lot many things that call for one's attention, only excite, in one way or the other, the senses, with no profit delivered. It is therefore called-for that we, you and I, guard our life, that we be only alert to higher thoughts, higher activity, that our lives may shine, for its totality is but a reflection of where our vision, ears and mind have been inclined.
