 There is nothing more annoying than someone telling you to focus on one thing. 

1st of all, mind your own business. 

2nd, worry about your life. 

3rd, if I don’t ask for your advice: don’t give it out. Cause there’s a reason I didn’t ask for it in the first place. 

Focus on you and I do me fam. 
 also my #1 pet peeve. I am not a one dimensional strawman that you made up in your mind 
 YESSSSSSSS 
 You just told everyone to focus on one thing. 🤓 
 Personally I find someone telling what to do or not do, quite triggering.

I guess that's my innate disagreeableness & something I've been working on.

Being triggered is a bit of a gift if you can insert some space between your ego & the words.

Your attention is like a spotlight in that everything else becomes dulled by it's focus. Shine your attention carefully & keep expanding.

 You just gave everybody advice they didn't ask for. lol

 Get em! 
 When asked what is the easiest thing in the world, Thales of Miletus  replied:

 "To give advice." 
 I wouldn't mind if there were people unafraid to give me advices...
I know, it's my fault.
