The Paradox of Attention: Lessons on Getting Off of Life’s Stage

from Bad Thought Therapy™ · host C. Chérie Hardy

While attention (being noticed and nurtured) is a need, we must be mindful about how we seek it. Getting attention in the wrong ways and from the wrong people can be damaging and deadly. The paradox is that attention can be positive and negative. Therefore, we must make sure that our sense of self-worth and identity is not determined by neither praise nor criticism. Our strength must be rooted in the Divine One who created us. We must resist performing on life’s stage just for the applause or anything that can be fleeting like the wind.   Instead of seeking out attention from others, give yourself the right attention to live the BEST life possible. Most importantly, take time to FOCUS on God, the one who created life and love.

Dr. Revici was arguably fifty to one hundred years ahead of his time in his application of quantum physics to medical sciences. As a once-aspiring physicist, this alone propelled Dr. A to Dr. Revici. As a physician, she felt compelled, and in some palpable way responsible, to understand Dr. Revici’s ability to control pain and achieve remissions in terminal cancer patients with his non-toxic “guided chemotherapy”, even many cancers that conventional therapy failed to control. Most of the time his questions and solutions were as unprecedented as they were effective. While Dr. Revici was primarily focused on cancer, Dr. A’s research and therapeutics to prevent and treat all chronic and degenerative disease can transform 21st century medicine.
