It's time to stop listening to what everyone else says about you, telling you what to do, how to act, how you should feel.

Focus is about controlling your behavior, so it becomes easier to do the right things, and harder to be distracted by the wrong things.

Cleaners never feel external pressure; they only believe what's inside them. You can criticize, analyze, demonize a Cleaner, but he's still only going to feel pressure from within.
