Focus your Attention.

Too often, we focus our attention on what we do not want. However, the universe operates on positivity - it responds to the energy and intentions we put forth. By continually denouncing what we don't want, we may inadvertently be granting it power and perpetuating its presence in our lives. To positively transform our lives, we must take responsibility for clearly defining what we do want instead.

When asked what we want, it's common to feel overwhelmed by the infinite possibilities. This can lead us to surrender to the belief that we simply don't know. But this is one of the greatest lies we tell ourselves to avoid taking full responsibility for creating the life we desire. If we know what we don't want, we inherently have some sense of what we do want.

Consider making a list of the aspects of your life you can no longer tolerate. Then, for each item, reflect on what you would rather have instead. This exercise can open your mind to greater clarity and put you on the path of more conscious creation.

Success or sabotage? True success can only be achieved when it is clearly defined. There is little hope of creating the life we desire if we don't take the time to envision it. 

Is this going to be an incredible day? Each new day arrives as a blank canvas, awaiting our creative touch. Define the day you wish to experience, and then set about intentionally creating it. An incredible day is there for the making when we focus our energy on what we want, rather than what we don't.
