Attention is alignment

Wherever you place your attention, you align to it, like it or not.

Scroll videos that help you learn and get smarter, wiser, you will get smarter and wiser.
Scroll videos that trigger outrage and fear, then all you get is anger and anxiety. Even if you don’t want it.

Spend time with people better, stronger than you, you also get better and stronger.
Spend time with small people who drag others down, you also get dragged down. Even if you prefer to lift people up.

Work in a place that’s nurturing, you grow more in your career path than expected.
Work in a toxic work place that plays office politics, you end up playing it too. Even if you don’t like schmoozing.

Wherever you place your attention, you align to it, like it or not. Even if you don’t want to align to it. Even if you’d rather not be there, or do it. Because the external environment, and the actions you are forced to do all day, has a much higher success rate at influencing you than your kind intentions. Willpower is limited, persistence through physicality or repetition is unlimited.

Attention is alignment.
