Where your attention lies is where your life thrives. Shift your focus if you're unsatisfied.

About This Quote

This is a very wise saying from the great actress/activist Cicely Tyson. If you are unhappy in a certain area of your life, then it is time to find a way to change that focus. Perhaps it is time for a new job or a change in living situations. The key to this saying is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

If you have been unhappy in your job and need to change it, don't start by changing all of your colleagues and colleagues at work completely. Try to make some changes like working with different people on different projects instead of the same ones over and over again. I am not saying that you should make any drastic changes; I am saying that you need to find some new ways of doing things and try new things.
