You draw out of the world what you put into it. Want to attract reliable people? Be reliable. <br/>Want to attract trustworthy people? Be trustworth… - James Clear

The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future. And it starts with having enough courage to protect your time.

It's so easy to say yes. We want to be agreeable, helpful, liked. That's how time disappears and attention becomes fragmented: not in big chunks, but in a thousand small concessions.

What you trade your attention for is what your life becomes.

You can be authentic and hardworking and still struggle to find your footing if you're in the wrong environment.

• A fun person trapped in the wrong city.
• A loving partner in a relationship that won't reciprocate.
• A great entrepreneur stuck in the wrong business.

Think about your placement as much as your performance. Plant yourself where you can thrive.
