Pay Attention To What You Pay Attention To

If you’re not quite sure what to do next, personally or professionally, Amy Krouse Rosenthal has got you:

Pay attention to what you pay attention to if you want to know what you want to do with your life.

John Green adds to it, and you should know it’s advice that helped shape his life too, that you also will want to qualify the type of attention you pay.

Is it passive, half-hearted, phone in hand with the movie on in the background attention?

Or, is it fully involved, “oh my god this children’s movie is about to break my heart open and I am in awe” attention?

Attention is an investment. Look where you invest and double down.
