My Slice of Life: Achieving More Joy & Success Through Active Focusing

Today is My Slice of Life is on Active Focus...this is something i am learning...

You attract what you focus on.

This principle works by charting a new direction for your mind. You begin to see improvement, more opportunities, and have more enriching and blissful experiences simply because you choose to look out for them.

Where previously you tended to expect negative things, now you're are more confident and optimistic. When you actively focus on good things, your mind propels your entire being to search for them.

If you want more beauty in your life, for instance..you then actively seek out whether is beautiful to you, focus on it, take it in and give thanks for it. Notice the next picture you come across, the next person, the next line in a book, how the pubbles, glisten in the sun, after the rain, and bless the beauty it inspires in you.

What about good ideas? Kind acts? Could you choose to focus on the positive qualities in life and bless them as well.

You find that the more you do this, the more good things will reveal to you and seem to "magically" come your way. There's no magic here though..you're seeing more often..because you are seeking them more out often. You're choosing to pay more attention to the things you used to overlook and ignore. And it also natural for other people to give you more good things because you seem to appreciate them more.

Unhappy, discontented people typically choose to do the opposite. They think poorly of themselves and do not expect to achieve more success. They anticipate disappointment and failure. Its no surprise that they are consistently disappointed.

An unhappy, unfulfilled person also tend to see a good thing and be envious of it, coveting it, bitter with its own ability to own it.

If you choose to actively focus on positive things though, you'll see good thing and celebrate it. You'll want get to know it, understand it, learn from it and see how you can emulate its strength. You will be nourished by it instead of being threatened by it brilliance.

When choosing to focus actively on positive though, its crucial to understand that though it involves a seemingly straight forward switch in mindset, it's not something that happens overnight, is turned on like a light. Many people are disappointed that they don't get instant results or being put off by pomposity of affirmations like " I am confident" , "I am beautiful, , "I am successful" and so on.

So go easy with it. Say "I'm getting more confident", "I am increasing my chance for success", I'm beginning to see more beauty in me."

After reading this, I admit in the past that I was a pessimistic person, and truly things don't turn it all well for me...but just a switch in mindset..(i personally believe change is instantaneous is just a matter whether we ourselves willing to take the 1st to change) things really changed in my life when I decide to make a decision.and I am seeing better results..and looking forward to my exciting life...how about you then?
