If by Truth you mean our individual Reality, more often than not there will not exist any attention prior to the manifestation.
Yet it WILL become one's Truth by default. By giving attention I understand you to mean an intentional focus and not a type of instinctive noticing by the body. One does not go about thinking about all one's beliefs before entering into new experiences, yet they have a very strong effect on what manifests. For example one may think on a minor level that one wants something ( career, money, whatever) and at the same time have a contradictory belief which causes resistance. This will lead to nothing but cynicism or some other negative habit at best, and that is far from the Truth one is patiently or impatiently waiting for.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "your truth", but I will attempt to answer it anyway.
Not necessarily. I guess in the sense that if we give something enough attention we will eventually find its truth, because the evidence we seek is all that we have and all that we know, it will become our truth. But will it be someone elses truth, and does this apply to everyone? Well some people put a lot of effort into finding the truth, and when they think they've found it, they deny it anyway. Theres such a thing as blind faith. I suppose blind faith is accepting an alternative truth but not necessarily giving it much attention, in the sense you are not actively seeking its truth, you only pay it attention and accept whatever is in your heart. In this sense you have not necessarily found the truth but you have given it your attention. We should also consider that blind faith does not give any attention at all to things sometimes, and this is their truth regardless of any evidence against. So attention does not dictate the truth, its merely an investigation that one can choose to ignore at the end of, or not.
Tell me if i've gone wildly off course! :)

There are many truths. To believe one has THE truth of anything is a delusion. That's why it pays to give your attention to EVERYTHING -the whole, and then one thing at a time.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but this is how I interperated it. "Anything that you believe hard enough, will become truth to you."
If this is a correct interperatation, then I completely disagree. In that case it just becomes a strong belief which is not at all related to a fact.
If I gave my "attention" to the grass being purple, it in no way turns the grass purple. I may BELIEVE that the grass outside is purple, but the FACT still remains that is it green.

I am only going to say this once: do not treat the word 'truth' as if you were referring to a thing, a product, an object nor a symbol or opinion. The fact is, if you believe a false description, act on it and suffer terribly for it, you KNOW what is needed for you, and everyone, are (is) TRUE descriptions and for those descriptions we give the name 'Truth'.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "my Truth". Does it mean my meaning in life? If so, I do not think I can support a positive answer to your question because I give my attention to a lot of things, such as my appearance. But, vanity is definitely not my Truth or my meaning. You know?

The word Truth has unlimited meanings and is therefore meaningless. To the christian the bible is the truth, to the atheist the absence of a god is truth. Each fully believes in their own truth and lives it as THE TRUTH. So, it must be that your truth is whatever you immerse yourself in.
To live rationally one must accept that all truths are equal and only as strong as ones belief in that truth. But too many people confuse truth with reality. Reality is not subjective where truth is.

No. If I give my attention to playing video games on the computer, it certainly doesn't become my truth. Right?

Not sure if I agree with your choice of the word "Truth", but I think I understand the gist of your question. I believe these quotes summarize your thoughts....
We are what we repeatedly do
— Aristotle
What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not by their words, but by their deeds that ye shall know them.
– old parable
Well done is better than well said.
— Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
