A while back, we were hanging out with friends at one of our favorite neighborhood bars where everybody knows your name. A group walked in, immediately pulled out their phones, and spent more time scrolling than celebrating the birthday that brought them together.

Sadly, that scene has become common. It raises a BIGG question: What is one of the most valuable things you own, yet give away without realizing it? Your attention.

Most people think their most valuable asset is time. We’d like to suggest something even more valuable: your attention. Wherever your attention goes, your life follows.

Escape.

It comes in many forms: scrolling on your phone, binge watching a TV show, fantasizing a future. Sometimes, it can be healthy to escape. Or it may be unhealthy. And sometimes it’s hard to tell them apart!

George is a fan of daydreaming. “When I get stressed, I like to cope by dreaming about the future. But I know I have to be careful, because psychology tells us that – if you get really good at visualizing – it becomes ineffective because your brain thinks you’ve already achieved your dream.”

Of course, daydreaming can be a negative as well. Especially if you spend an inordinate amount of time on “someday”. The world marches on, but you get stuck in place. Even if you feel you’re making progress!

So, we’re going to talk about building a life by escaping those things that are holding you back.
