As you may already know, "As a man thinks, so he is." But then you wonder what the process of thinking really is. And when you delve in deeper you'll realize that thinking is simply about paying attention to something, or being aware of it.

The fact is that as you go through each day, so many things are happening all at once. There are many events that happen simultaneously, and it's literally impossible for your brain to pay attention to every single thing happening around you.

Thus, you need to be selective about what you pay your attention to. Because it's what you give your attention to, that you start to think about. And it's what you think about that propels you to take actions. And it's the actions you take that directly affect your life.

That means that your attention is really the root of all of this. And you need to be more conscious and intentional about the things you pay attention to. The fact is that when you select the things that truly matter to you, and give it your attention - that's how you expand in that direction.

As a result, if a man wants to become rich and successful, the first thing is that - he must pay more attention to riches and give his attention to ways he can become successful. When you select what you pay your attention to, your develop in those areas. Don't give your attention to things you don't want to attract.
