Patiently Redirect Your Attention
The mastery is not found in preventing the wandering. It’s in the returning.
When your plane reaches cruising altitude, you probably imagine it following an arrow-straight path to your destination. The pilot receives a perfect flight path before takeoff. A straight, efficient line across continents and ocean. But what a traveler never sees is that the aircraft spends a mere 30% of its journey on this ideal path. The remaining 70% is spent drifting right or veering left, pushed by invisible currents, battling elements beyond its control.
And yet, after eleven hours, passengers disembark precisely where they intended. The plane reaches its destination through something more powerful than precision. Unwavering persistence. The pilot never abandons the flight path. They simply keep returning to it. Again. And again. And again.
