Are you the one who’s in charge of knowing what’s true for you?

When your truth is inconvenient for someone, they will try to convince you that they know best what’s true for you. If you allow others to convince you that what you know isn't true, you’re letting them curate your truth for you.

You may not fully appreciate how much value there is in your focus, in what you pay attention to.

For one thing, the simple act of putting your attention onto something helps to change that thing. Your attention, your focus on a thing shifts the energy of that thing. This is called the observer effect. According to Wikipedia: “In science, the term observer effect means that the act of observing will influence the phenomenon being observed.”

When you focus consciously on something, you have an effect on it. This is because where you put your focus is where you put your energy.
