The Law of Attention by Brian Tracy states, “You pay attention to that which you most love and value. Attentive listening to others lets them know that you love them and builds trust, the foundation for a loving relationship.”
At first glance, we can all think of moments where we either have used or should have used this law with a friend, co-worker, family member, and of course, significant other. We can use this concept up and down our chain of command from every hat we wear. That means we can apply it to our relationships with people we look up to, piers we are rising with, and those we are helping develop. These relationships could be with professors, bosses, and parental figures, as well as students, production teams, and children. The person that gets forgotten about often is the person we see in the mirror every day.
Have you ever heard the phrase that we must love ourselves before we can love another? There is some truth to this statement. We all bring something to the table and must remind ourselves of our self-worth.
“When studying the best, don’t forget yourself.”
We bring experience from our past with us in every new job, project, task, chore, hobby, or activity. The wisdom we have can offer us confidence in attempting anything new, which should give us a jump start towards tackling what is in front of us.
Whatever new adventures we charge towards, we must have confidence in what we bring to the table and let it engulf everything we touch. Each of us has achieved more than we give ourselves credit for, which means if we trust ourselves, we have the power to accomplish anything.
