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 o...

Focus - The Power of Concentration

If you wanted to, couldn't you get depressed at a moment's notice? You bet you could, just by focusing on something in your past that was horrible.  We all have some experience in our past that's pretty bad, don't we? If you focus on it enough, and you picture it and think about it, pretty soon you'll start to feel it. Have you ever gone to an awful movie? Would you go back to that awful movie hundreds of time?

Why play out business disasters or bad career decisions again and again?  Of course these "B" movies are not limited only to your past experience. You can focus on something right now that  you think you're missing out on, and feel bad. Better yet, you can focus on something tha...

You can feel good for no reason at all.............

Anyone can continue to feel good, or if they're "on a  roll" it doesn't take much to accomplish this. But the real key in life is to be able to make yourself feel good when you don't feel good, or when you don't even want to feel good.  Know  that you can do this instantaneously by using your body as a tool to change state. Once you identify the physiology attached to a state, you can use it to create the states you desire at will. John Denver was a man who impressed me not only with his musical ability but also because his private persona was absolutely in line with his public image. There were times when he experienced a writer's block. When he wrote his best songs, it was discovered that their inspiration had come to him when he was doing something physical. Usually an entire song would flow through him after he'd skied down a mountain, flown his jet or his biplane or driven his sports-car at high speeds. Usually speed was  involved and t...
