One Way To Boost Our Will Power And Focus Is To Manage Our Distractions Instead Of Letting Them Manage Us.

People Who Are Optimistic See A Failure As Due To Something That Can Be Changed So That They Can Succeed Next Time Around, While Pessimists Take The Blame For The Failure, Ascribing It To Some Characteristic They Are Helpless To Change.

The Act Of Compassion Begins With Full Attention, Just As Rapport Does. You Have To Really See The Person. If You See The Person, Then Naturally, Empathy Arises. If You Tune Into The Other Person, You Feel With Them. If Empathy Arises, And If That Person Is In Dire Need, Then Empathic Concern Can Come. You Want To Help Them, And Then That Begins A Compassionate Act. So I'd Say That Compassion Begins With Attention.

If You Are Doing Mindfulness Meditation, You Are Doing It With Your Ability To Attend To The Moment.
