5 Things to Know About
The Law of Attention
You Experience More of What You Focus On
Like a social media or internet algorithm, your attention acts like a spotlight, illuminating and magnifying whatever you are engaging in, looking for, and clicking on. What you consistently focus on expands in your experience and awareness. This is true from menial things to very consequential things.
Your Attention is Managed by Your Inner Source Code
Like computer software, your mental programming can have "bugs" from past experiences and limiting beliefs. The good news is that you can debug and upgrade your inner code through conscious attention.
Inspiration is Like Your Internet Connection
Inspiration literally means "in-spirit" - it's the voice of God / Source guiding you toward your greatest growth and purpose. When you unblock it and tune more clearly to your Inspiration, great things happen.
Your RAS Filters Your Reality
Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) acts like a search engine for your life, filtering information far more powerfully than your conscious awareness. It can be smartly programmed with positive intentions--and when it is, opportunities, things, and experiences you are Inspired toward will appear in your life more often.
The Voice in Your Head is Not Your Enemy
The voice in your head may be frantic and haphazard because it often hasn't been managed. But you can learn to manage it and use this program within you for good, which will make modern AI look primitive.
Are you ready to transform your life?
The 2nd edition of The Law of Attention is hereâavailable on Amazon.
Is this the first time you've heard of the book, or of the Law of Attention? Did you know that you experience more of what you focus your attention onâincluding many of the things and experiences you wantâsuch as love, peace, joy, health, relationships, money, performance, material possessions, success, fulfillment, and positive impact?

Ever notice how when you're thinking about buying a new car, you suddenly start seeing that type of car everywhere? Thatâs not a coincidenceâitâs your inner coding at work. You have subconscious algorithms running inside you, constantly filtering and amplifying what matters most to you at any given time based on your choices and areas of attention. Now, imagine if instead of cars, what you conditioned yourself to notice was even more Inspiring than cars?
It works like the internet serving you ads based on what youâve been searching for, engaging in, and clicking on. The more you click on it (so to speak), the more you see of it. As your attention shifts, so does your experience of what the internet serves up to you.
Of course, this can be very positive when trained and wielded for good purposesâor it can be painful and negative when running on auto-pilotâespecially when running those old baked-in programs that no longer serve us any good, and often never did.
I know this firsthandâafter years leading teams as a tech executive at Microsoft, and earning a masterâs in theology while studying psychology, I began to see the deeper truth: our mind, body, and soul runs a lot like a computerâbut weâre not computers. We have something AI never will: a soul. And we have something much greater than an internet connection: Inspiration.
Wondering if this is aligned with Christian beliefs and values?
Imagine leaning into that reality, and learning how to consciously harness your power of attentionânot just to see more physical things like cars, but also for deeper things like experiencing more joy, peace, purpose, and love.
Picture using it to connect with more career success, inspiring relationships, improved health, and peak performanceâin sports, business, or life.
And most of all, consider what could happen when you put God first and align your attention with your highest pathânot just chasing whims and manifesting things to distract you or fill your voids, but walking in divine Inspiration for lasting impact.
That is true success. That feels sustainably good. Thatâs the purpose and impact youâre meant for.
Thereâs a powerful science and deep spiritual truth behind how this all worksâand when you understand it, you can upgrade every area of your life. Thatâs what The Law of Attention will help you do.
