You Get what you Focus On

You get what you focus on. How many have heard that? Seems simple right? But, often the simpler they appear the deeper they run. We need to pull back the layers and find the true meaning.

For instance, you are focused on a getting a new car. It is the perfect car for you. You want that car badly. You have laser beam focus. Since your focus is on strong desire, the results is that you get more of that. More desire, more longing.

Now, what if your current circumstances predict that you are not able get that car right now. You begin to think of the lack of not having the resources to get the car. Again, you are getting more of what your mind is focused on. More feelings of lack, more circumstances that keep you from receiving that new car.

So, what can you do differently? Instead of focusing on your outgoing desire for the car, you instead focus on the internal emotions of having the car. Replay how it feels to have the car. Your mind will behave in alignment with your new thinking. You will begin to attract things, people, and circumstances that will lead you to having the car. It is a subtle difference, a difference that brings the successful use of the Law of Attraction to you.

You get what you focus on, so be careful of the way you focus. Be conscious of your consciousness.

What have you been focusing on that is keeping you from what you desire?

Make Things Happen

Make Things Happen“Happiness comes from you making things happen for you instead of you waiting for things to happen to and for you”

I like this quote, you see if we let circumstance predict how our life is being shaped we stop the flow of our true self being expressed. This leads us to a state of resentment and if left long enough can lead to dis-ease.

True joy comes from freely expressing ourselves and our internal desires. We can carve our life out in front of us, or we can sit and wait for it to been given to us. You can look at the current economic situation and you can see what happens when we let things be given to us.

It is our responsibility to make things happen for ourselves. You see if you are seeing some things in our life that are not what you would like them to be, the only way to change it is to change it for ourselves. We are the only one that knows what those changes need to be. How can we expect or wait for someone else to do it for us when they do not know what it is that needs to be changed.

Ask yourself these two questions and the answers will give you the direction to take:

  1. What is it that I you are really excited about right now?
  2. What, if any, action have I taken to achieve that in which I am really excited about?

If you answered nothing in question two then you know what you need to do to make things happen for yourself.

You have something that you desire to accomplish, you are excited or passionate about. If we take no action towards it and sit and wait for it to happen then what? You see we need to know what we desire and we need to express that by making it happen for ourselves.

“Happiness comes from you making things happen for you instead of you waiting for things to happen to and for you”

Attitude of Gratitude

// August 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // Personal Development, Success Tips

To have an attitude which is positive and enthusiastic will carry a person far in this world. It will affect the people around you. The attitude of a person will shape their outer world, whether they choose their attitude to be positive or negative. What I’ve found to be so helpful in keeping my attitude in a positive way is reminding myself to be present in the moment of GRATITUDE.

If you apply the law of attraction into your daily method of operation, you can focus on all of the abundance and positive things in your life. For this is what you are bringing forth in your world. If you have an attitude of gratitude and give blessing to the people and world around you, you can dramatically draw more good into your life.

How do you stay grateful in situations that are less than ideal? We all experience things that are not what we want or expected. This is the universal truth of Cause and Effect (every positive must have an equal opposite). The question is how can we attract what we do want in these circumstances?

In the book “The Astonishing power of gratitude- How to fix the 5 big mistakes that keep you from putting the power of gratitude to work for you”, author Wes Hopper addresses how we can all benefit from the power of gratitude. The power of gratitude is the application of the Law of Cause and Effect. In the book “The Science of getting Rich “, Wallace Wattles explains the Law of Cause and Effect as:

“The law of gratitude is the natural principle that action and reaction are always equal and in opposite directions.”

Here are 5 suggestions that will assist you on staying in a grateful mindset, from Wes Hopper’s book “The Astonishing Power of Gratitude“.

  1. The Universe is friendly: We know that the universe is moving us forward in an upward expansion of greatness. So everything that comes into our lives is there for us to learn from and grow into a greater person. Having this knowledge allows gratitude to come part of our thinking because we allow and accept all things are good n our lives.
  2. Non- resistance: Is having the mental attitude that what is, just is. When utilizing this principle we gratefully accept and permit what it is that is presenting its self in the moment. We all too often think to ourselves we “should” have done this, or we “should” have done that. By resisting what is we prolong that which we wish to move on from.
  3. Happiness with a state of dissatisfaction: What we want to strive for is a pure state of happiness. The word happiness relates to a joy and gratitude. Yet we also want to grow and increase our current situations with the ideal that we are always in the forward progress for being a better person. When we have become satisfied with something we have accepted the status quo, we are stagnant in our upward expansion.

    “The place you want to be is happy and dissatisfied! In other words, to be thrilled with what you have, joyful and grateful for your accomplishments and blessings, and at the same time, enthusiastic about your ability to do even better.”

  4. Forgiveness: To forgive mean to LET-GO COMPLETELY… This means forgiving other people who you feel have done you wrong as well as forgiving yourself for anything which you have done in the past. The past is finished, we move forward with forgiveness.

    “Sorry, but half-baked phony forgiveness won’t do the job. You have to do this completely. Forgiveness is not something you do for the other person, it is something you do for yourself.”

  5. Give: We give and then we receive. It is important to give so that we are in flow with the universe for us to receive what it is that we are asking for. Everything we have been reading about has been in the form of thought, well giving is our ACTION. Keep the flow in your life by being grateful what is in our life, and then give whatever it is your can.

This concludes our topic on our ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE; it is my intention to inspire you to lead an empowered life with this simple practice which has truly improved my way of living.
