How Focus, Gratitude, and Journaling Help Us See Life More Clearly
In this episode, host Skip Lineberg sits down with optometrist, author, and community leader Dr. Brad Lane for a thoughtful wisdom conversation about mindset, perception, and the power of intentional focus.
Brad shares how a simple journaling practice reshaped his daily life, how gratitude and reflection can transform our outlook, and why the human brain often finds exactly what it is looking for. Drawing from both neuroscience and real-life experience, Brad explains the role of the reticular activating system—a powerful mental filter that influences what we notice, believe, and ultimately become.

Skip
00:03:39. Brad Lane, welcome to The Main Thing podcast. It’s so great to be on with you this morning.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:03:43 Yeah. Good morning, Skip. Good to see you, buddy.
Skip
00:03:45 Brad, I wanted to just start with how we’re connected. That’s one of the things that we try to take care of and help our audience understand—who’s talking to who, and how do these two fellows know one another. Would you like to start the story, and I’ll pop in with a little color commentary along the way?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:03:59 Absolutely. Sounds good. Yeah. So I guess it was September 2024. You know, I run a business, and I had been fairly stressed. And I had a good friend recommend that I go to a retreat—a mindfulness retreat that was focused on men. And I thought, there’s no way I’m gonna do this. Then one night I was pretty stressed out and thought, well, I’m gonna go—okay—let me really look at this. So I booked it as soon as I could so I couldn’t talk myself out of it.
Skip
00:04:30 I get it.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:04:31 You know? It’s like, let me go ahead and do this. So I head up to Randolph County in September and pull into the parking lot there—or the driveway—and I think I met you first. You were the first person I ran into. We had a great weekend. We threw axes—that was great. Had some really good food. And then we really dove into some mindfulness techniques and experiences—exercises. And you led our journaling exercise, which I had never heard of before. That’s how I felt like we really connected there.
Skip
00:05:05 Kate Reid has been on the podcast as a Dr. Brad Lane. Valerie Hart—her partner with Wonder and Grow—has come on to share her wisdom. And then I think, if I’m not mistaken, the person that gave you the nudge to go ahead and sign up for this retreat, Brad, was one Veronica Lewis.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:05:20 That is true. That is true. I’m not sure it was a nudge. I think it was more of a push.
Skip
00:05:25 Veronica was our most listened‑to episode of 2024. She came on and shared her wisdom, I think, to start off that year. And so she really lit up the wisdom podcast for us that year. Folks will have heard in the introduction that you are an optometrist—an eye doctor—and I just wanted to hear a little bit about your journey toward that profession.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:05:49 I went to undergrad at Concord University. It was Concord College back then. I really wanted to major in psychology, sociology—and I was working a lot with my youth group at church. I wanted to help those kids out. There were a lot of problems those kids were facing. So I started through those programs and actually completed both psychology and sociology. And I figured out that I was taking their problems home with me—and, oh, I would not make a very good professional. I remember once after I graduated, trying to figure out how I was gonna get a job.
So I told someone, ‘These people need professional help.’ And they said, ‘Well, that’s supposed to be you.’ Then it was like, ‘Oh boy. I don’t know if I can do this.’
So I did a little pivot and decided I still want to help people, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it. So I started to shadow different medical professionals—dentistry, pharmacy, primary care. But I went to the optometrist and asked if I could shadow him. And that day, there was no mistaking—in my mind, I knew that’s exactly what I wanted to do.
Skip
00:07:14 Oh, wow.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:07:15 Yeah. The patients that he saw that day—the way he helped them—was tremendous. It lit a fire in me with a passion.
Skip
00:07:23 The caring for—
Dr. Brad Lane
00:07:25 Yeah.
Skip
00:07:25 Whether that was gonna be their brain, or their teeth, or their eyes—some way, shape, or fashion, you were gonna be providing care to others.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:07:35 Exactly. Yeah. I mean, all my life someone’s taken care of me, and I feel like it’s just a way to give back.
Skip
00:07:42 That’s awesome. And part of the great commandment, right? Loving on our neighbors. What do you love most about it today?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:07:52 Most people, I think, when they go to the optometrist, they’re going for glasses and contacts—to see better. But oftentimes, we find things on our exam that might not be expected when you go to the optometrist. They can be life‑threatening issues. Actually, just this week, I did an exam on a lady—there were some symptoms that I immediately thought, ‘Oh goodness. This isn’t necessarily just a vision symptom. I’m afraid she has multiple sclerosis.’ So we went through the proper channels—imaging, referrals—and we’re pretty confident she has MS. She didn’t know that. She just thought it was a visual symptom of needing new glasses. That is a horrible thing to have to tell someone, but I’m glad that she came in. I’m glad I had the opportunity to help her and find this out now so we can slow the progression. She can work with a neurologist and slow the progression. And it’s those relationships that make it all worth it.
Skip
00:09:13 Tell us a little bit about your vision for branching out into other places in West Virginia—because I know there’s more than just a dollar behind the motive there.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:09:24 Absolutely. Yeah. So I should mention that that fellow—that optometrist that I shadowed—eventually we became business partners.
Skip
00:09:32 Awesome. Wow. You wanna give him a little shout‑out here?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:09:36 Yeah. Dr. Chris Hansen.
Skip
00:09:37 Okay.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:09:38 Yeah. He let me shadow—some little dumb college kid came in and said, ‘Hey, can I hang out a little bit?’ And he said, ‘I guess.’ Once I went to optometry school, I always wanted to come back and practice with him. You wanna talk about someone who’s selfless—a good‑hearted individual that cares about people—it’s Dr. Hansen. It’s Chris Hansen. So once I graduated and came back, I went into partnership—I joined his practice, I should say.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:10:13 At the time, it was a very, very small practice—two employees. We sat down and had a vision. Created our own little vision board and set goals. We said, ‘We’re gonna do this the right way.’ Patients are gonna come in. They’re gonna have a great experience. We’re gonna love them. We’re gonna do what’s right for them. And when you do that, success happens.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:10:37 And so that’s what we’ve done. As someone new joins the practice—whether it be a new doctor or a new staff member—we instill that in them. That is our culture. That’s what we want. And from that, we’ve grown to—well—we’re at three locations now, looking at a fourth. We’re up to thirty employees and six doctors and provide care in Princeton, West Virginia; Beckley, West Virginia; and Giles County, Virginia. When we go in, we want to be part of the community.
Skip
00:11:14 Yeah. That comes through. I mean, I see that.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:11:16 Yeah. I live in Princeton. One of our new business partners, Dr. Mackenzie Van Dyke—she lives in Beckley. And then Dr. Hansen lives down in Giles County, Virginia. We really like to get into schools—involved with sports and clubs and the local high schools, middle schools. We really enjoy that.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:11:38 We do have a couple of charities that are near and dear to our hearts. One is the Jonathan Powell Hope Foundation, and we’ve Skiped a golf tournament for them—goodness—I think it’s like seventeen years now, maybe more. It’s a journey that helps families with a child battling cancer. Those folks have done some good work. We’ve just helped out a little bit.
Skip
00:12:08 Brad, one thing we have in common—in addition to our mutual friends and a love of wisdom and journaling—we’re both published authors. So here we have Bradley Lane: The Professional’s Daily Balance Journal. And you have written a wonderful tool that I use periodically. Dirty little secret: I have three journals that I use, and they’re all for slightly different purposes.
But this book gives the reader a prompt every day of the year for 365 days. So on a day where I’m like, ‘Man—what? I’m not sure I have anything on my mind or on my heart that I want to journal about today,’ I open up this journal and there’s a prompt at the top of that day that gets you started. It gives you something to respond to.
Let’s see. Today we have February 20. The prompt for today is: ‘What does the next step mean to you and your personal growth? Reflect on one area where progress feels both challenging and exciting.’ That’s a cool prompt. Because now my brain’s turning—it’s in motion instead of being locked and frozen on uncertainty or confusion. Now I’m focused; the wheels are turning. That’s the way that works.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:13:28 Thank you. Yeah. Whenever you were teaching us the journaling process during that retreat, I had never journaled before. You gave us some prompts, and I really enjoyed that. So when I go home, I now have this empty notebook—and I’m like, ‘Where’s my prompt? Where’s Skip?’ It might be annoying if I called you every day or texted you every day and asked for a prompt.
Skip
00:13:59 I’d be honored.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:14:01 Yeah, so I thought: well, I’m gonna write my own. I’m gonna make my own prompts and just let it be—let the Lord guide me—and I’m gonna make it for a month out. And then I thought, well, you know, this is handy, but there are other things that go into this—like some physical movement that helps your well‑being—going out for a jog, stretching, yoga. And then reminders: it’s time to update my vaccinations; it’s time to prepare for end‑of‑year taxes; I need to talk to my accountant. So I started putting all that stuff into a book.
Skip
00:14:42 You’ve been doing it for a couple years now. How does it enrich your life? Why do you keep doing it?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:14:47 Yeah. I’ve been doing it now for about two and a half years, I guess. If I start at the beginning of the day and journal early in the morning, it sets my intention for the rest of the day. Every once in a while, I like to sit down and write out what my day is gonna be like. I’m forecasting the rest of my day, and I’m planning in my mind how it’s gonna go. And dag on it—you know what? A lot of times, that’s how it happens.
Skip
00:15:20 Funny how that works.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:15:21 It is. And if I prepare for my day to be a good day, it’s usually a good day. Things creep in that I might not plan for, but that’s okay—I’m prepared. I’m mentally prepared for any obstacles. And then at night, when I journal, that’s a great opportunity to get all the junk that’s in my head between these two ears out on a piece of paper, and it just free‑flows.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:15:47 I think of it like— I don’t know about you, Skip— but in my kitchen, I have a drawer that I call the junk drawer. It has soy sauce packets and chopsticks and menus and probably some—
Skip
00:16:02 Some random parking token.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:16:05 Yes. Just random stuff stuck in that drawer.
Skip
00:16:09 Keys that we have no clue what they’re for. Spare keys.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:16:12 You have to keep them, right? Because just in case. And so every so often, that drawer needs cleaned out. And yes—the space between my ears is the same way. Through the day, it gets cluttered with stuff that I don’t need to hang on to. So it’s much like going over to the trash can and just hitting the side of my head and letting all that gunk fall out. I put it all on the paper, and then I can sleep better that night.
Skip
00:16:44 Yeah. I imagine that’s very freeing and clears it out and makes space for peace to come in, doesn’t it?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:16:52 It absolutely does. A lot of times I’ll notice I’m writing about a worry or a concern, and I feel like I’m halfway through a sentence and the Lord says, ‘Brad, you don’t have to carry this. I can carry it for you.’
Skip
00:17:11 Oh, yeah.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:17:12 Yeah. And it’s when I take that time to stop, be still, and just write that I feel like I connect more with God. When I wake up, I have a choice of what kind of day I’m gonna have. I can plan in my mind—I already have an idea what the day is gonna be like. There have been plenty of times I wake up and think, ‘Oh jeez. Today’s gonna be terrible. It’s Monday.’ Or I have the option to say, ‘It’s Monday. This is gonna be a good day.’ I just start to write: I’m gonna get to see my patients. I’m gonna get to see my staff. I’m gonna get to experience this. I plan out those things that make each day incredible. And a lot of that is by expressing gratitude.

Go unlock your one hundred ninety‑two extra minutes of wisdom. Dr. Brad Lane, what’s the main thing that you’ve learned in your lifetime so far?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:19:21 Skip, the main thing I’ve learned in my lifetime so far is that I find what I’m looking for.
Skip
00:19:29 Oh, wow. You find what you’re looking for. Very cool. Very cool. So you’re in defiance to U2 and Bono right there who says he still hasn’t found what he’s looking for. I’m just playing. Tell him to look harder. Yeah. That’s awesome. That’s awesome. Brad, would you reveal all the nuance and meaning that’s loaded in that concise, wonderful statement? We find what we’re looking for.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:19:55 Sure. There’s actually a neurological reasoning behind this. There’s this thing called the Reticular Activating System (RAS), and it’s part of your brain—actually part of your brain stem. It’s a collection of neurons that basically filters out—or filters in—what it wants to: what you want to focus on, what you want to give your attention to. It lights up, and your brain becomes aroused and aware of these things that are important to you.
So when I learned that, I immediately thought of family vacations with my dad. My dad was a coal miner, and I don’t know if you remember, Skip—I don’t know if it’s still this way or not—but miners’ vacation was one week when they just closed the mine down and everyone went on vacation at the same time. All these folks are going to the beach—Myrtle Beach.
Well, not my dad. My dad said two things: ‘I see those guys all the time. I don’t wanna go to the beach and see them again.’ And, ‘I make my money in West Virginia. I’m going to spend it in West Virginia.’
Yeah. He wanted to support the local economy. So we went to Moncove Lake over in Monroe County every year. Beautiful place—Monroe County is beautiful, and the people are awesome. But to a thirteen‑year‑old boy, for the tenth time, it might not be the most appealing base summer.
Skip
00:21:31 Yeah. I get it.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:21:33 So the other thing you should know about my dad was that he was a Ford man. At some point he owned a Chevy, I guess, and it wasn’t great. He swore them off forever and hated them after that. So we would drive from Wyoming County—where I grew up, a little town, Herndon—to Moncove Lake. That meant you go over Herndon Mountain over to Princeton in Mercer County, get on U.S. Route 460 down into Virginia and back up into West Virginia.
Well, inevitably there would be some cars or vehicles broken down on the side of the road. You know, this is the eighties. And if there happened to be a Chevy on the side of the road, he’d point it out real quick: ‘Hey—see a Chevy? I told you they’re no good. I told you they’re no good.’ And I’m thinking, ‘Dad, there were two Fords back there.’ But the truth is, he didn’t see them. He really didn’t see them—because that’s not what he was looking for. He was looking for the things that supported his bias—confirmation bias, you could say.
And that’s when I learned about the reticular activating system—and I thought, you know, I’m gonna be intentional about what I look for, and how I let it dictate my life and my day.
Skip
00:23:08 How can a listener—or a viewer who’ll be watching—take your main thing and apply it right now, today, or tomorrow? What’s an action step they can take?
Dr. Brad Lane
00:23:18 Take a moment. Slow down. Life is crazy busy for most everyone. And basically, just ask yourself: What do I want out of today? What do I want out of this life? And how am I gonna get there is the first step, I do believe. Realize that listening to the negative comments or negative thoughts that flow through your mind is not the way to get there. So what are the positive things? What would you tell your child? Would you tell your kid, ‘You had a great performance, but you messed up’? Or, ‘That concert was awesome, but I heard your reed squeak’—your clarinet? No. You would never do that. So if you wouldn’t do that to your kid, why would you do that to yourself?
Skip
00:24:27 Right.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:24:27 So whenever your brain tells you something that’s horrible, stop and realize that’s not really you talking. That’s that negative voice—but that’s not the real Skip. That’s not the real Brad. Move forward. Take the lesson. Leave the baggage.
Skip
00:24:51 There we go. Yeah.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:24:55 You know, Skip—when we allow the negativity to take over—it reminds me of something, and I wanna put this in there because I’m a nerdy eye doctor. There’s this condition called Charles Bonnet syndrome. Whenever I learned about this in optometry school and then actually saw it in practice, it really hit home for me.
So you take an individual—normally elderly—who’s had good vision most of their life, but then for some reason they lose their vision. It could be glaucoma, macular degeneration, what have you. When the brain is no longer getting that visual input, it makes up things for that patient to ‘see.’ So they hallucinate. Now, this is not dementia. The person knows that object is not there—and they’ll tell you, ‘I see whatever it is. I know it’s not there, but I see it.’
A lot of times—let’s say it’s a male—in my experience it’s usually males—it will be a car that he really enjoyed as a teenager—his dream car. Or hunters will see that ten‑buck, and that ten‑buck will be in their living room. They’ll see it in their living room.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:26:29 And I take that and think: when the brain is left to make up—when it’s not getting that visual input—it will fill that void with whatever it wants. And we have a choice. I have a choice. If I allow that negative part of my brain to just run wild, it will fill it with negativity—despair, lack of confidence—a lot of hurt and heartache.
But if I put before myself the positives—the lessons, the things to learn—I’m not talking about being totally ignorant that bad things happen in this world. Right—that happens. But when I look for the positive—when I look for those wonderful things that God has surrounded me with—my outlook changes. And more and more of those things show up. My brain starts to bring more and more of those things out. Instead of the negativity—the ten‑point buck—if that’s what I’m focused on, if that’s my eureka moment, that’s what I’ll see. And so I hope to continue to focus on that.
Skip
00:28:01 Brad, that’s a great place to leave it. I love that principle that you shared with us. I learned something new. Thank you for coming on and sharing your wisdom with us—and sharing some of our common growth experiences that we’ve enjoyed. It’s just been a pleasure. I can’t thank you enough.
Dr. Brad Lane
00:28:16 Thank you, Skip. It’s been a pleasure.
Skip
00:28:18 So long for now.
Wisdom Reflections from Skip
Skip
00:28:24 Hey—it’s Skip. For a final wrap‑up, I just wanna share a reflection on a couple things that stood out to me today in our conversation with Dr. Brad Lane—optometrist, eye doctor, business owner, community leader.
Number one: I was struck by how we have the freedom and the ownership to change course in life. You heard Brad talking about his initial career path. He stopped going down that path, gave himself permission to change direction, set some goals, went to optometry school—and look where he’s going now.
Skip
00:29:02 In similar fashion, he wrote a book about journaling. He wrote a second book. Brad is very purposeful—not only with big‑picture things like writing a book or a career, but just how he approaches every single day. Did you hear the careful way that he orders his day—how he begins his day, how he decides what’s gonna be good for that day and how to make that happen, and even how he ends each day? I’m very, very impressed and inspired by that.
Skip
00:29:29 And last but not least: I love how Brad explained that when we have a goal, a vision, or a direction that we’re pursuing, it’s very important for us to lock onto the things that are valuable, appreciable, good, worthy, beautiful, and useful along that path—and to not let our mind get focused on what we’re lacking. He explained—with science‑backed theories—why our brains work the way we do and how our minds need to be mastered. Brad’s a great living example of that. I hope these wisdom insights were valuable to you. I can’t wait to hear what stood out to you—share it with me. I love your feedback. Thank you for it, and see you again next time.
