b"First, Santa Monica\\u2019s pearl of wisdom:\\nThis week\\u2019s pearl of Wisdom from Santa Monica comes via Fawn\\u2019s Santa Monica Bathroom conversation delivery and what was shared with her that was a game changer. There are three words that have to this day been chanted by Fawn and those close to her. We talk about a couple of things here regarding the pearl of wisdom. Number one is what you focus on grows. So focusing on money coming, it's going to make that grow and happen. When Fawn was first learning to drive, her point of focus would have her not able to drive straight because she focused on a short, short distance (because she was fixated on the hood of the car) instead on the road ahead. You need to look way down the road where you want to go. Don't focus on that spot so close to you. Look to where you want to go. Look really far out, look way ahead of you. Your vision always has to be shifting. It\\u2019s about knowing what the next step is, and knowing where you\\u2019re going. If I have both of those things, things will feel pretty darn good on any particular aspect of your life. Look to where you want to go. Look really far out.\\nWhen you're riding a mountain bike down a trail, if you focus on the pothole in the middle of the trail, you're going to hit it. If you focus on the clean line around it, you're going to do that.\\nSo it's all about where you draw your attention. If you keep your attention focused on the negative, well then guess what the negative is more, more likely to happen. And if you focus on the positive, it's the positive.\\nShow topic: \\u201cBusy\\u201d Have we become shackled by an invisible force? Fawn argues YES! Matt has his take on the subject that is more optimistic than Fawn\\u2019s. Fawn believes this is the four letter word that has contributed to the loneliness epidemic. From business, the corporate world, to standing in your kitchen, feeling overwhelmed, to feeling if you're not busy you\\u2019re are missing something, that you\\u2019re not doing enough, \\xa0to the feeling of guilt that is all over everything, we discuss what it all means and go with Matt\\u2019s sage advice: \\u201con a day to day, focusing at least for a minute, a while, on the things that are truly important and realizing what those things are that you need to completely break yourself away from wherever you are. That's key.\\u201d Bottom line- everyone is operating at their highest capacity and we need to relax and appreciate each other."
