So our quote from Brian today is one to remember.
“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind
on things we desire not things we fear.”
on things we desire not things we fear.”
Ok, some of you can already tell where I am going with this.
For those of you who don't, keep reading, because this is quite possibly the single most important concept you can ever learn.
STOP FOCUSING ON WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT
AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO WANT!!!
AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO WANT!!!
Once you grasp this concept it will seem utterly ridiculous that you never did before, I can assure you.
I'm going to help you get a better understanding of what this really means.
No matter what you are focused on you are receiving that back in your life.
So, if you are thinking about all the debts you have piling up, you are bound to get more debt.

If you are thinking about all the health issues you have, you are bound to get more health issues.
If you are thinking about your junk car or crappy living situation, you are bound to get more of those as well.
On the other side of the coin, if you are thinking of all the money you are making, you will get more money.
If you are thinking about how healthy you are, you will continue to be healthy or get healthier.

If you are thinking about a nicer car or house, you will get a better house or car.
"Ok, I've tried this positive thinking crap, I've watched The Secret. This doesn't work for me."
First of all, in that statement you have just proven the validity of what I mean (More on that some other time.)
Secondly there is more to it.
You can't just think of good things and expect magic, especially if you don't think it's possible.

Your thoughts, emotions and actions all have to be in alignment.
It also doesn't happen overnight.
Whatever situation you are in will take effort to change.
You have to be willing to make changes for it to be possible too.
Now, I could literally talk for days on this topic, there is that much to cover, so I will not get into everything here.
In this post I will focus on only one main part of this idea.
Ready?
Write down what you want in life, write everything you want to be, do or have.
Do it now, I'll wait.
Source
Now look at that paper.
How many of these things that you have written down say something like this?:
"I don't want my boss to fire me."
"I want a partner that does not do this..."
"I want to be somewhere that is not like this."
"I want an item that doesn't do this when I do that."
Every one of these things, and anything else that fits this format is something you DO NOT WANT.
The universe only hears the object of your focus, not whether you do or don't.
Here's how the above sentences roughly translate to the universe:
"I want my boss to fire me."
"I want a partner that does this"
"I want to be somewhere like this."
"I want an item that does this when I do that."
We are conditioned to speak in don't wants instead of wants.
It is a massive step in life to simply turn this around.
Source
Make your thoughts all translate to do's so the universe don't have to do it for you. (Like the play on words, me too :), but i'm not playing lol.)
If you don't want to be around angry people say, "I want to be around happy people.".
If you don't want to be in debt say, "I want to have more than enough money to pay my bills."
If you don't like your weight say, "I want to be this weight."
Be specific, be direct and never include don'ts.
It is vitally important to know what you don't like.
Knowing what you don't like helps you to determine what you do like.
"I don't like all five of those things but I do like the sixth one."
This is the purpose for don'ts.
Use them to figure out what you do like then make a conscious decision to only focus on what you do like once you know what that is.
We will get into ways to align your actions and emotions with your thoughts later.
If you practice this it will help you immeasurably.
Pay attention to what you are thinking.
If you notice yourself saying "I don't", back up and translate that don't into a do.
You never get done what you don't.
You only get done what you do. (feel free to quote me on that lol)
Remember what Brian had to say about it.
“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind
on things we desire not things we fear.”
on things we desire not things we fear.”

Keep grinding
one bite at a time!
A great quote and advise here, advise I am trying to pass on to a family member and a work friend who seems to focus more on why he cannot do things rather than focusing on the positive and what they can do
I know just what that is like. This lesson can sometimes be one of the hardest to teach. It is however one of the most important to learn.
Indeed, I am lucky or I guess it came from how I was brought up to always be positive and I really do believe it is such a healthy way to be
You are lucky :)
Great way to grow up. I'm teaching my son the same.
They he will grow up with a good base for sure
manifestation the true power of the mind! :)
Absolutely man!

I do agree with you on this. It's easy to focus on what we don't want however I do know from experience that focusing on what we do want will get us much further.
It sure will Miriam!
Having played golf since I was thirteen years old, I can say for sure that I have made very few putts when I stood over the ball thinking, "I sure don't want to miss this one."
Very good point! You would not want to think that at all just before a put, or anything else you expected to achieve lol
You can be sure I tried to keep the positive approach in mind when I played golf yesterday. The famous golfer Bobby Jones said the most important six inches in golf is the space between our ears!
The space between your ears. Love it.
That is probably the most important 6 inches in life lol
Yes, indeed. As Emerson said so wisely: "A man is what he thinks about all day long."
yes he is!
That quote is in my list for later lol
No Fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter, truly slide. - Tyler Durden "Fight Club"

All the time!
