Attention

Robert Kneschke

What attracts attention grows, gets bigger. When inconsequential details find a spotlight, they can transform into major issues. Don't take to heart what you can throw over a shoulder. Most bothersome irritations don't become worth bothering with. Many troublesome problems dissolve into nothing when left alone but become mountains when given too much credence, debate, and seriousness. Too often the medicine causes the disease.
