Direct your Attention.

To what are you saying “yes”? That which receives your thoughts, energy, focus, and attention will be compounded. You will get more of it. If your current experience of life is not as you desire, it is a reminder that it is time to redirect your attention. No one is suggesting that you deny reality; it is simply a matter of being disciplined enough to focus MORE on that which you love, appreciate and enjoy instead.

Think of the universe as a giant drive-thru window that is always taking note of your thoughts, words, and focus. Once you energize it, the order is placed and will be delivered in short order. This means that you have tremendous power at your disposal. Like gravity, it functions as an impartial universal law. You may either consciously direct it to your advantage or unconsciously live by default and surrender to the resulting circumstances.

Focus on the day that stands before you. What do you appreciate about the gift of this day and your presence in it? What do you love about the potential and possibilities of today? What are some of the gifts that you might receive today? What excites you most about today? What do you appreciate most about your gifts, skills, and talents? How will you utilize them today to create a positive, enjoyable experience? Who do you most look forward to seeing today? What would you love to see happen today?

Success or sabotage? Success results from clear focus and a disciplined consciousness. When we focus on the good and expect more of it, it flows consistently toward us.

Is this going to be an incredible day? When we expect good (even in the face of something that seems temporarily “bad”), the day will miraculously and effortlessly meet our expectations.
