'How do I control my life?'

By controlling your attention.
Why do you think they call it PAY attention?

Anytime, you pay attention, you are purchasing an experience.
The problem people have is that they have a GRAY attitude towards attention.

But the goal is to have a BLACK & WHITE attitude towards attention.
'Gray, black, white. Whatchu talking about Armani??'

I'm talking about your future.

What you pay attention to is what you become.
-Gray

You have a gray attitude towards attention when you don't have a clue what you want your future to look like.

You just wing it.

So you pay attention to a lot of things.

Some beneficial, some not.

Bottom line: You have no filter.
-Black & White

Now you have a clue what you want your future to look like.

So you know what is beneficial, and what is a waste of time.

Bottom line: You have a filter.
The reason attention is so important is because it frees up space in your conscious mind to absorb.

And the thoughts that you absorb in the conscious mind will be passed onto your subconscious mind.

And the subconscious mind will then influence your behaviors.
I realized this in the 2016 election.

I wasn't much into politics.

But saw a bunch of my friends getting into it during that time.

So thought, eh why not.
We watched mainstream news & discussed afterward.

Day in & day out, we PAID attention to the 'news' that we were being fed.

One outrage story after one outrage story.
Soon, I noticed more thoughts of darkness.

I found myself feeling more road rage, getting angry about little things & worrying.

And to make matters worse, my close circle was always debating.

The energy was becoming toxic.
I realized that I had fallen for the trap.

Why?

Because I didn't have a vision.

I was just winging life.

Therefore I was just handing out my attention to anything that asked for it.
Once I realized the error in my ways, I took 10 steps back.

I stopped watching all that nonsense.

Really evaluated what I wanted out of life.

Got a clearer grasp of my north star.

And my mindset had shifted.
Now I consume empowering information, hang with winners & invest in myself.

My attention is very black & white.

The north star does that for you.

Otherwise, you will have your time wasted & WILL HAVE NO CLUE.

Deadly.

Just like many of the sheep out there.
You are black & white with money, right?

When you see a 2 shirts. 1 that you like & 1 that you don't like, what do you do?

'I buy the one I like.'

Why not both?

'Because buying the one I don't like is a waste of my money.'

Exactly.

Start viewing your attention the same way.
If it ain't benefiting you, then stop spending on it.

If it is benefiting you, then double down on it!

The strategy of winners.

Simple
Your attention is the gateway from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind.

When that truly clicks, you will be much more aware of how you spend it.

Your present-day attention will boomerang fam.

Make no mistake about that.
I told you what I needed to tell you.

Now the rest is up to you.

Gray or Black & White?

Only time will tell.
