“How can you not have insurance?”
“Because I spent my money on the Clapco D29, the most impenetrable lock on the market today. It has only one design flaw, the door must be closed!”
Hocus Pocus? FOCUS!
What is it, do you think, that above all else holds the key to your succeeding at anything you want? Is it luck? Upbringing, education? Perhaps you think the answers are in the stars? Well the answer is simple enough, yet many do not grasp and apply it for the simple reason that it takes considerable effort. Not physical effort, but mental.
Those well versed in the philosophies of ‘new thought’ will feel quite comfortable with ‘new agey’ terms such as "law of attraction" and "thoughts create things", yet even if you didn’t know anything about these vital, universal laws, you could still thrive enormously at your chosen life path, just by developing the ability to focus. Focus is what life is all about, you are focussed consciousness inside a human being. If you want to achieve anything in life, you must spend a period of time collecting your thoughts, focussing them to create the outcome you desire, whether it be mowing the lawn, writing a book, or designing a house. It all starts in the mind, and with focus, is shaped into reality.

Spending time focussing on what you want is the key to achieving it. It is as simple as that. The more time you spend, the quicker it will come. Ask people who have read all of the millionaire, relationship or any other self-help books and they might tell you that this is simply not true. They would then, of course, go out and buy another load of self help books, read them all and fail to apply any one philosophy consistently for a focussed period of time to their lives. Such a scattered approach is akin to focussing the sun’s rays through a magnifying glass, and then moving it about. It has very little effect. But hold the glass still for 30 seconds on one spot and it has a considerable effect.
In all truthfulness it doesn’t really matter what life philosophy, lifestyle, job, relationship, income, house, friends, clothing, hobbies you aspire to in life. What is important is that you focus your thoughts into creating these things you have identified that you want.
Easily spoken, but perhaps not so easily carried out. It is really quite hard to stay focussed on what you want when there is so much of what you don’t want around to distract you, but when you can hold your thoughts purely, regardless of what others are doing or saying, you will be a Mastermind. Ignore the media bombardment (naturally always full of what you don’t want, that’s how they sell), ignore your whingeing friends’ complaints, and focus on what you do want, for yourself, and for your whingeing friends. You are far more use to them when you focus on where you’re all going.
You see, we are all ultimately headed in the right direction, towards everything that we have identified we want in life. It’s just that sometimes we stall our progress by talking about where we are rather than where we are going.
When I learned to ride a motorcycle, I was told by the instructor to look where I wanted to go, because the bike would naturally go there. Target fixation on an object means you’re likely to head towards it, whereas focussing on the road ahead sees you moving along safely. There’s only a few inches in it, but the consequences of getting it wrong are considerable. And so it is in life. Think about all the wonderful things coming in your future, and know that they are coming, and they are. Or think about how you’re not getting everything you want, and notice that they’re not coming, and you’ll see the evidence of your thoughts as nothing changes in your life and you feel miserable.
The good news here is that your subconscious, your "inner being" if you will, has made a note of everything that you have said you want, is cueing up those experiences in your future, and will guide you towards what you have determined you want. How does it do this? By whispering words in my ear? No, something far more sophisticated. It communicates to you through your emotions. Your inner being stands there as a benchmark of what you have said that you want in life, and broadcasts a powerful signal to you. If you are on track, and tuned in to that signal, you resonate in the good feelings of the energy of your source. If, however, you drift off the signal, then you’ll get some static, which you’ll feel translated as negative emotion. The bad feeling is designed as an incentive to get back onto the good feeling signal, so you can think thoughts to attract what you want. To break this down simply; how do I know if I’m on track? You think thoughts and speak and act in a way that feels good to you. And then I’ll get everything I want? Yes, and what’s more you’ll feel wonderful all the time, and nothing bad can ever happen to you. It doesn’t matter what anyone else is creating in their life, you just need to focus on what you want.
Our varied characters, upbringing and aspirations in life mean that some of us are more likely to work out how to get what we want earlier than others. But those who succeed in whatever they have chosen all share one attribute: single mindedness and determination, ie. the ability to focus on what they wanted regardless of what anyone else thought. The power is in your mind, now focus your creations into life, and watch with delight as they unfold before your eyes.
A major trap that people fall into is to attempt control. They try to make things happen through action by attempting control of the world around them, the people, the places and the things. That is, of course, none of their business. Leave others to create their lives the way they choose. If you attempt to control them (I say attempt because you cannot control others) you will quickly find your focus has moved away from what you want, and you’ll be feeling bad as you go off signal, and you’ll be getting more of what you’re focussing on; the bad behaviour of the government, or your spouse, or your work colleagues. You have absolute control over how everything in the world relates to you. But you do not have creative control over any other person, even your lover. Once you let go of the illusion of control, and relax into the good feelings and trust your life to guide you to everything that you want, it can all be yours, and quickly. You must learn to focus your thoughts on what you do want, mind your own business, and have a determination to feel good regardless of the conditions; unconditional love.
