Jake Burhans argues that attention is a creative force: wherever you direct it, you direct your energy. Focus your attention on a goal or emotion, and you channel energy toward making it real.
Your awareness is like a creative power, right? Your awareness, the person sitting in the audience watching the thoughts and the emotions, whatever you put your awareness towards, you're putting energy towards, okay? Attention goes where energy flows, or energy flows where attention goes, or where attention goes, energy flows. That's what it is. Where attention goes, energy flows. So wherever you have your attention on is what you're putting energy towards, and if you're putting energy towards it, you're creating it, you're making it, you're like manifesting it, you're making it real.
