What if you knew your success was guaranteed?
What if the entire Universe was on your side?
What if your value to the world was assured?
What if all that entailed was spending more time focused on what you want, who you want to be, what you want to do, and how you want to feel?
That when you looked at a problem, you quickly shifted your thoughts to what you would like the outcome to be? That when you saw someone behaving badly, you focused on how you wanted people to behave? That you appreciated more things than you complained about?
It seems like such a simple shift to make. Love more. Appreciate more. Laugh more. Relax more.
But simple—and even preferable—doesn’t necessarily mean easy.
People often fear that if they take their eyes off the problem for a moment, it will grow and get worse. So they stay ever vigilant and keep their attention fixed on the worst-case scenario.
Or they may be weak in guiding their attention, and therefore believe they have no option but to look directly at what is right in front of them.
Or they may be so bought into reacting to “reality” that they don’t even know there is anything else to look at.
What if it was your attention and focus that was actually making the problem worse? What if by not choosing what you want to think about you are guaranteed to see more of all the things you don’t want? That all “reality” means is that you are seeing a reflection of what you are focused on?
We are each responsible for the “reality” of our lives. If you expect—and choose—to see good things, you will see good things. And if you don’t like what you see, it is an opportunity to choose what you do want. To find the solution to every problem, you must spend more time focused on the solution.
As soon as you focus on what you want, you are allowing All-That-Is (God, The Universe, Source Energy, Higher Coach—whatever works for you) to support you, answer your prayers, give you what you want, bring forth the life of your dreams.
Even if you are unwilling to make the effort to spend more time loving, appreciating, relaxing, and laughing, your value to the Universe is guaranteed. You are important in the grand scheme of things. You are loved and adored just as you are.
Whether you feel that—and how much fun life is along the way—is up to you.
All it takes to begin making that change is to find one thing to appreciate today. Do that again tomorrow. And then slowly begin to look for more things to appreciate.
That’s it. That’s all you have to do. That one tiny change done consistently is guaranteed to change you life.
It truly is that simple.
It’s only hard if you think it has to be.
Together we can do it!
So true! Great information. What we focus on does grow. Thank you, Hanna.
Thanks, Kristin! So appreciate you!
It is all about Perspective! Good one here…
Thanks Walter! Appreciate you.
I would hate for success to be guaranteed. There’d be no reason to push myself.
Thanks for this post 🙂
And that is certainly your choice! I prefer to transform the fear and doubt to energy that I can use to move me toward my goals, but that is why we have free will. We get to choose if it will be hard or easy, fun or daunting. We can push ourselves to do things or be inspired to do them. It’s all up to us. Thanks for commenting!
Great post. I needed to read this today. I have been laser focused on a couple of challenges and forgetting some of the great things right in front of me. Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful in shifting your focus! Appreciate you! Sending you positive thoughts as you navigate your challenges.
Thank you!!! But you have changed my focus to remind me of all the wonderful things in my life. I am going to look at those for a change. 🙂 Thanks again!
Awesome! Love it!
This is very helpful. *Thank you.*
Thanks for commenting! I appreciate it!
Exactly what I needed to remember today…If we don’t like what we see, it’s our responsibility to change our vision.
Thank you for another great post.
