I heard this on the radio last week …“When you focus on what you are lacking –Your life will be lacking … When you focus on what you have in abundance- Your life will be abundant ”… Basically what this person was conveying is … “WHAT WE FOCUS ON GROWS”...
I’ve been making a conscious effort to put myself in check every time my focal point is centered on what I “don’t” have... or when things don't go "my way"... I’m realizing that although I consider myself a pretty optimistic “seeing the glass half full” kinda’ gal… I still have some mental housecleaning to do in regards to becoming more focused on what I HAVE verses what I lack.
What about you today?- Is there a specific area… or circumstance …or even a particular person that comes to mind- where you need to focus a bit more on what they “BRING” to the table-instead of what they may be lacking.. ??? Start today and take time out to SHINE a spotlight on someone’s good qualities andddd JUSTTTT MAYBEEEE……. Just maybe…:) YOU will help that person GROW. Try it and see.
Like I said… What we focus on Grows. What do YOU wanna grow today? Or even WHO do you want to HELP GROW? Maybe it is YOU who needs to grow? Do you focus too much on what your life is lacking? It’s okay…I do it too. Good News is you can change THAT…. In fact – Right now…. YOU IN?
Hey- I can be selfish too my friends….. The majority of us definitely lean towards convenience and wanting our ways… Just Recently God got a hold of me something fierce. … It was Like a… “WAKEEEE UPPPP LORI”… Now every time my mind GOES… “THERE”…into wanting it MY way… or onto focusing too much on what I am lacking…. yep when I go…“THERE” …(that selfish place where there is nothing fruitful coming out of my thoughts) … I REELLL IT IN…. and like the good ol’ book says… I take my thoughts captive and remember what I HAVE… and just start thanking out loud. Talk about “That Works” …Yep-it sure does…. For me anyways…. ANDDDD the MORE I GIVE THANKS- (COUNT MY BLESSINGS) – the more it counteracts and cancels out that lack that looms near by. …. AND …. THE BETTER LIFE BECOMES!
Centering MY attention today on what I got –not what I’m not.
Grateful for the Life I have been given.
