"Solo podemos tener una concepción coherente de la realidad —nuestra experiencia consciente de ella, es decir— si prestamos atención a su contenido uno por uno, momento a momento"
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi

Simplified Meaning:
In everyday life, we understand things best when we focus on them one at a time. Imagine watching a movie: if you pay attention to each scene, you can understand the story and enjoy it more. But if you try to watch many movies at once, you get confused, and can't understand any of them fully. The same goes for life. Paying attention to what is happening right now helps us understand and enjoy our experiences better. For example, if you are eating a meal, focusing on the taste and texture of each bite makes the meal more enjoyable than if you are distracted by your phone or worrying about tomorrow. By living in the moment, we can appreciate and understand our reality more clearly.
