WE FEED WHAT WE FOCUS ON. WE ENERGIZE WHAT WE THINK ABOUT. WE MANIFEST WHAT WE GIVE OUR ATTENTION TO. THE INTENSITY OF OUR EMOTIONS DETERMINES HOW QUICKLY IT HAPPENS.
A man becomes what he thinks about all day long. If we think good, positive, kind, productive, creative thoughts, we will eventually get those results. If we think negative, destructive, ineffective, weak, disempowering thoughts, those are the results we will eventually get. We project and manifest what we see ourselves to be, and we observe and notice only that which is within.
WE create the life we live. It all starts with the consistent choices we make in what to continuously and consistently focus on. It takes time, consistency, and belief, and what we focus on, we create.
How important is it, then, what we choose to focus on all day long? What are you, personally, choosing to think about and focus on all day? Is there something you could consistently listen to, read, or look at first thing in the morning, that would turn your focus and your thoughts to that which you WANT to focus on all day long, that will eventually yield to the life you want? Is that thing important enough to set an alarm just 10 minutes, or even an hour earlier. in order to re-focus on that thing?
I have found it to be INCREDIBLY useful to set alarms on my phone to go off at certain times of the day to remind me to do certain things repeatedly in order to create new habits. My favorite alarm:
What do you want MORE of, RIGHT NOW? Re-focus. BEGIN AGAIN.
EVERY MOMENT is an opportunity to re-focus and begin again.
This alarm reminds me to focus on and give attention to ONLY that which I want to create MORE of within myself, like unconditional love and compassion, kindness, peace, acceptance, appreciation, empathy, and understanding.
Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches:
“You can not manifest what you want if your attention is on what IS. You can not manifest what you want if your attention is on WHAT HAS BEEN. You can not manifest what you want if your attention is on what others expect of you, want from you, or what others think of you.”
To manifest what we want, we can choose to look ahead, and work like hell, and practice TRULY ENJOYING each moment along the way
Today’s challenge for myself: Today I will watch my thoughts and my focus, and make a conscious effort to focus and re-focus on the good, positive, kind, productive, creative thoughts. I will choose what I decide to consistently focus on all day long. I will create the life I want through focus and hard work.
