To have attention is to be free from tension. Tension comes when little things are neglected and they result in big things. The attention that is needed is not paid and so they result in tension. When there is attention at every step, little things are taken care of. Attention also means constant checking of the self and introspection, which brings self-correction immediately. When we have attention on little things, we are able to keep our mind cool and calm. Challenging situations or people don't take us away from our state of well-being. As we are in constant touch with our own inner qualities, we are free from the influence of the outside environment and we move on towards further empowerment.

Where there is vision, there is life and growth, accomplishment, fulfillment and joy. Keep your vision alive. It is important to see clearly, what you wish to accomplish and hold fast to it. Though it may tarry, it will surely come to past at the appointed time.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.
- Denis WaitleyIntroversion brings empowerment of the self. Just as a tortoise withdraws from the external environment after its work is done, we too need to find time for ourselves. Amidst the activity of the day, we need to make time to look within and find the beauty that is hidden there. When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that empowers the self. We need to give ourselves a little time everyday at regular intervals. During this time, we need to look within and find our own uniqueness and we will find that we are able to have access to our positivity. This practice will help us during a difficult time too and we will be able to use these qualities under all circumstances. So we will not be a victim to situations but will be able to give what is required at that time.
