When We Focus On Others, Our World

Compassion Begins With Attention.

But The Rational Mind Usually Doesn't Decide What Emotions We "should" Have !

Daydreaming Defeats Practice; Those Of Us Who Browse Tv While Working Out Will Never Reach The Top Ranks. Paying Full Attention Seems To Boost The Mind's Processing Speed, Strengthen Synaptic Connections, And Expand Or Create Neural Networks For What We Are Practicing.

Emotional Self-control-- Delaying Gratification And Stifling Impulsiveness- Underlies Accomplishment Of Every Sort

The Task Of Worrying Is To Come Up With Positive Solutions For Life's Perils By Anticipating Dangers Before They Arise. If We Are Preoccupied By Worries, We Have That Must Less Attention To Expend On Figuring Out The Answers. Our Worries Become Self-fulfilling Prophecies, Propelling Us Toward The Very Disaster They Predict.
