Polarities: Where Your Attention Goes, Your Energy Follows
Every emotion has a mirror
Becoming Relentless moves from the cup into polarities. Wherever your attention goes, your energy follows.
- Live in hate about the injury, the loss, the person → you become a person of hate → you attract more hate.
- Live in anger at yourself, the world, the circumstances → life keeps handing you fuel for anger.
- Live in fear (knee giving way, sciatica shooting) → life keeps feeding fear-objects.
The bar
Life does not reward you for what you can become. Life rewards you for what you are.
Flip the script
- Hate → love: start with yourself, then sport, family, friends — make a list and focus it.
- Anger → compassion: forgive yourself first; acceptance — allow yourself (patella tear, breakup, collapsed workplace — the episode’s own story).
- Fear → courage: today’s specific rehab action that builds the capacity you’re scared of losing.
Say it once: Where your attention goes, your energy will follow. Unlock Brick By Brick below.
