The Power of Focus

Posted by Fiona Harrold | 4 Comments

‘You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, if you hold that desire with singleness of purpose.’

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the US may not have studied metaphysics way back in 1861, but he certainly had an intuitive understanding about getting what you want in life.

In my experience, the act of focusing on what you want is the first step to pulling what you want into your life.

This is before you get busy with the practicalities of phone calls and knocking on doors. Indeed, you may not even need to get to that stage if your mental and emotional focus is working well for you.

Think about it. How many times have you thought about something, and that something immediately starts to show up in your life?

Before you focused on it, it wasn’t a part of your life. It often happens with cars. My brother bought a Porsche Boxter a few years ago. Until he showed up one day in the new car, I’d never noticed Boxters.

Since that day, they started to show up all the time! It’s part of the Law of Attraction ­ you get more of what you focus on. The difficulty is this: often you focus on what you want, only to have that focus muddled by doubt and all the reasons you can’t, couldn’t, shouldn’t have what you desire.
Attraction

So, your focus becomes cloudy at best, overwhelmingly negative at worst. Then you attract more of the same – reasons and evidence why you can’t have what you want.

The solution? Get conscious. Work through those doubts with a great coach who can help you turn your mind around to focus on what you want and feel you can have it – feel it’s the most natural next step for you.

I do this a lot with my personal clients.

If you’d like to clean up and reset your focus – and get a little metaphysical magic going in your life, email me and I’ll recommend the best coach for you, fiona@fionaharrold.com.

    Thank-you Seun! I have been living my life using this metaphysical approach for over twenty years now, and I know one thing (perhaps a few things!) and that is – Focus is Everything! Watch where your attention is going. Stay on the positive path of focusing your attention on what you want rather than on what you don’t.
    Onwards!

    Thanks Fiona.

    Focus is truly key. Lately I’ve been learning how focus can work for you or against you. Most of us focus on what we have, that we don’t want, e.g. an overweight body, rather than what we do want, in this case a lean, trim one. When we set goals we need to focus on where we’re going, not where we are now and how hard it is to move forward.

    Two ways to stay focused on what we want are to keep company with similarly focused people, and to read positive, inspiring material.

    Thanks again!
