Paying attention is an act of deliberate focus and concentration, where we prioritize a specific task or goal over other distractions.

Just like the choices we make in life, paying attention requires us to let go of certain things, whether it's momentary distractions or other potential avenues, in order to fully engage with and invest ourselves in what truly matters at that moment.

It's through this intentional sacrifice that we can harness our mental energy and make the most of our abilities to achieve our desired outcomes.
