Hey friends, Chase here.
Ever feel like your mind is all over the place?
Emails. Notifications. News. Noise. We live in a world designed to hijack our attention, and it’s working.
Attention Is a Superpower
In a world this noisy, your ability to focus isn’t just helpful. It’s everything.
Viktor Frankl found purpose in the darkest of places by choosing where to direct his mind. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discovered flow while surviving war by focusing on a single game of chess. Louis Zamperini endured torture by turning his attention toward faith and forgiveness.
These weren’t magic tricks. They were choices. Repeated. Intentional. Life-saving.
What You Focus On Becomes Your Life
Science backs it up. As Dr. Andrew Huberman says, “The ability to focus and direct one's attention is the distinguishing factor between those who will succeed and those who won’t.”
That’s not just about work or goals. That’s about everything. Your relationships. Your health. Your sense of self.
Because attention doesn’t just shape what you see. It shapes who you become.
Train Your Attention Like Your Life Depends on It
You don't have to escape to the mountains or delete every app on your phone. You just have to start noticing where your attention goes, and gently bring it back to what matters most.
Ask yourself:
-
What am I really focusing on right now?
-
Is it helping me or draining me?
-
What would happen if I chose differently?
Your attention is yours. Don’t give it away without a fight.
Until next time, stay focused and stay free.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
