The Power of Focus
Are you ready to start "pulling" what it is you really want closer to you, by focusing your thoughts?
I know what you're probably thinking - it can't be as easy as that. There must be a catch.
The catch is that you must be100% absolutely clear on what it is you want and be in no doubt whatsoever that you will receive it!
The Right Focus
If you only think you want something, and you're doubtful as to whether or not you're ever going to get it anyway, be that a fabulous relationship or the ideal job, no amount of focusing is ever going to "pull" it towards you -as you are more than likely focusing on the doubt, which in turn will only pull more doubt in your direction which will repel what you truly want.
Let me give you an example: exactly 2 months ago I suddenly had a huge desire to spend a month in Ireland. Not as a holiday, but working as an actor.
As my focus sharpened on this picture in my head I "coincidentally" started to hear Irish accents everywhere; on the TV, on the radio, on the street! I started to visualize myself walking down the city streets and walking into rehearsals.
I absolutely knew I was going to Ireland for a month. I had no idea how, I hadn't worked in theatre in Ireland for 6 years. I didn't need to go, but my focus and desire was so sharp that I had a "knowing" that I was going.
I even began to mentally pack my bags and decide what shoes were coming with me. Now that's focus!
Offer
But here's the "weird" bit. Only a couple of weeks later I received a call from a Theatre Company in Kilkenny, Ireland offering me 5 weeks work! Needless to say I accepted immediately.
- So what pictures are you creating in your head?
- Why do you want it?
- Do you really believe you deserve to have it?
- What do you focus on every day?
- Are you allowing yourself to pull-focus from what you truly want?
Make no mistake about it - when you focus on the reasons why you can't achieve your goal, you just pull yourself further and further away from it.
But don't take my word for it, experiment by "pulling" something you really want towards you and have fun!
