Truly powerful people rarely focus their attention on others. They don't fixate on others' lives, don't get pulled along by others' pace, and don't live to please the masses, because they understand that what's scarcest in life isn't time—it's attention. Expending energy on status comparisons, unproductive relationships, and past versions of yourself only continuously depletes your present growth; while focusing on creation, continuous iteration, and walking your own path is the key to breaking through and moving forward. Everyone has their own rhythm. Others' brilliance has nothing to do with you. The only thing you need to cultivate is yourself—constantly renewed and reinforced.
