Is there something in your life that you would like to make stronger? Then give more of your attention to it.

Have you come across a tiny shred of goodness in a situation that is otherwise filled with despair? Give your attention to that small goodness, and it will grow more influential.

Continue giving your attention to what is positive, and it will grow even more positive. Give your attention to what works, to what creates real value, and the value that is produced will increase.

Those who fail have usually given too much attention to the negative aspects of their efforts. All that attention has given those negative influences more and more power, to the point where they can be completely overwhelming.

Those who succeed, on the other hand, have given the bulk of their attention to the positive possibilities. And that attention has brought those possibilities to life.

Become aware of, and choose carefully, the things to which you give your attention. For where you place your attention is where your life will grow.

Can't say I agree with all that you have written. Life is just not that cut and dry. Atleast my observation and experiances tells me such.

thank you

LRKS, I didn't write it. A very wise man writes these "motivators." I just post them as a way of posting something positive.

Of course, nothing is cut and dry but maybe a small tweak in our way of thinking will begin to change things around for us.

Thanks for sharing this, you so often find such good things to post/share with all of this.
I personally need to read this and pay attention, it's already May, and I have not lost weight, haven't gotten into the exercise/fitness habit I was going to do, and I still have not fully quit smoking . . . I have too many "going to dos" and still haven't.
Another big thing also that I still haven't done is get rid of clutter/old stuff around my house.
I don't make "New Years" resolutions, sort of, to avoid pressure but on the other hand I just can't seem to do what I had good intentions to.
Yep, DE, really needs to read and "re-read" this post.

Take care now,

DE
