Unwavering Focus | Dandapani | TEDxReno

• The art of concentration is keeping your awareness on one thing for an extended period of time. Bringing it back to that one thing when the mind gets distracted.
• Life is a manifestation of where your energy is flowing. The benefits of being in full control of where your energy and awareness is flowing are endless.
• Most people can't concentrate for 2 reasons: 1) We're never taught how to concentrate. 2) We don't practice concentration. Instead, people practice distraction all day every day.
• If every time your phone beeps and you respond immediately, you are living in the world of distraction.
• To learn how to properly concentrate you must understand the relationship and distinction between 2 things: awareness, and the mind.
• Too often we allow external factors to manipulate our awareness to different areas of the mind.
