WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FOCUS ON?

In every moment of our lives, there are millions of things we can focus on. We can focus on the things that are happening right here, right now, or on what we want to create in the future, or we can put our focus back on the past. Here is the key: where the focus goes, energy flows. What you focus on, and your pattern of focus shape your whole life.

Let’s look at two of these patterns that control and can immediately shift our level of joy, happiness, frustration, anger, stress, or fulfillment.

The first question is: Which do you tend to focus on more – what you have or what’s missing from your life? Rather than focusing on what we don’t have we should acknowledge that there is so much to be grateful for in our lives that has nothing to do with money.

We can be grateful for our health, our friends, our opportunities, our minds, and the fact that we are alive. Where do you tend to put your focus? On what you have or on what is missing? A pattern of appreciating what you have will create a new level of emotional well-being and wealth. Do you take time to deeply feel grateful in your mind, body, heart, and soul? That’s where the joy and the gifts will be found.

Here is the second pattern of focus that impacts the quality of your life. Do you tend to focus more on what you can control or what you can’t control? What do you tend to do more of? Be honest. If you focus on what you can’t control, there is no question you are going to have more stress in your life. Yes, we can influence many things, but we can’t control them. The more we feel out of control, the more frustrated we become. In fact, self-esteem can be measured by how much we feel we control the events in our life versus feeling that life’s events are controlling us.

Did you know that questions control your focus? The questions you ask yourself control what you focus on. But often people ask wrong questions like “What’s wrong with me? Or why is this happening to me? Why me? “If you ask a lousy question, you get a lousy answer. Rather ask: “How can I get it right? How can I resolve it? How can I make the world a better place?”

Questions are the controlling force of your thinking, and your thinking directs what you focus on. And what you focus on, you feel. So, whatever you focus on, you will receive.

Take control of your life. Choose consciously and wisely. Find the empowering meaning, and wealth in its deepest sense will be yours today! 🙂
