Shifting Focus
|
I’ve noticed in my life, there is a fine line between the view of
gratitude & of complaint. For quite some time, I would focus on
what I really didn’t want. It may be because of a comfortable
habit or pattern of life. I feel it is worth it to shift the focus on
what I want. Our everyday words & thoughts in daily
conversation can add up & take on a life of its own. If I
repeated something all day long for the entire year, I know it
would affect my perspective of life. So, with this choice, I
advise myself, to focus as much as I can on only what I want in
life. It will most likely be a gradual change. Yet, each time I
look at any situation with gratitude for how I’ve always wanted
things to be; there is all the more chance of building momentum
toward progression of goals. I can ask myself questions to apply
to real life experiences. How does it feel to experience what I’m
progressing into? Am I enjoying this process or am I
complaining? Do I really want this change in my life? What are
the benefits of this goal? How much focus am I giving this goal
throughout each day? These questions point to a view of life
where we have some control over the experiences we live. This
of course may not be true if there is a destined plan. However,
either way, if the chance of enjoying life more is by cultivating
positive thoughts, it seems well worth it.
