Quotes to ponder:

"Time passes whether you’re paying attention to it or not, but attention is the ultimate currency in terms of how we experience life."

"Attention is your actual life it’s what you are immersed in at any given moment."

"If you aren’t deliberate about what you pay attention to, your mind will fill your time with whatever gets its hooks into it first."
