Attention Seeking Behavior Can Make You Less Creative

Attention, perhaps the greatest gift one can give to others. The purity of attention lies in the quality of response. When you respond to someone or something, you are just expressing your emotions. For instance, there‟s nothing quite like you are reading and giving this blog a certain amount of attention. It‟s a powerful feeling, to get attention. But how it really feels like to get attention? You may have been lucky in your life to get more attention than others. And if you did, then it‟s so amazing, because like it‟s been said, „It’s a powerful feeling.‟

But there‟s another powerful feeling that people have been lucky to experience a lot. And it‟s quite funny, it‟s just a wonderful feeling because it doesn‟t come from getting attention. It comes from paying attention. People with great focus and discipline often narrow their attention while working. And everything in the world, anything that might be bothering them or might grab their attention, it all goes away. The feeling of getting dissolved that is what they love. That‟s to them is „creativity.‟ And that‟s the biggest reason they are so grateful to their profession.
