Whatever We Focus On Becomes Our Idea Of Reality.....


The truth is that very few things are absolute. 

 Focus is not reality, because it's one view, it's only one perception of the way things really are. Think of that view - the power of our focus - as being a camera lens. The camera lens shows only the picture and angle of what you are focused on. Because of that, photographs you take can easily distort reality, presenting a small portion of the big picture.

 Suppose you went to a party with your camera, and you sat in one corner, focused on a group of people who were arguing. How would that party be represented? It would be pictured as an unpleasant, frustrating party where no one had a good time and everyone was fighting. And it's  important for us to remember that how we represent things in our minds will determine how we feel. But what if you were to focus your camera on another end of the room where people were laughing and telling jokes and having a great time? It would be shown to have been the best party of all, with everyone getting along famously!

 This is why there is so much turmoil over "unauthorized" biographies: they are only one person's perception of another's life. And often, this view is offered by people whose jealousy gives them a vested interest in distorting things. The problem is, the biography's view is limited only to the author's "camera angle,"and we all know that cameras distort reality, that a close-up can make things look bigger than they really are. And when manipulated expertly, a camera can minimize or blur important parts of the reality. 

 To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, each of us sees in others what we carry in our own hearts........

According to financial newsletter editor Dick Fabian, "Evidence shows that investors- investors in anything make no money over a ten-year period.   There are several reasons for this tragic statistic, including: 1) Not setting a goal, 2) Chasing after trendy investments; 3) Relying on reports from the financial press; 4) Blindly taking advice from brokers or financial planners; 5) Making emotional mistakes, and so on....

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values.
