What you see is What you…Think???

The Level of our Success is only Limited by our Imagination – Aesop

Everything you See is the Result of Your Thoughts, There is no exception to This Fact – A Course in Miracles

Quotes similar to these have been said by wise women and men throughout history, so what does it mean?

What you focus on you get.

That which you think, so shall you be.

Like attracts like.

It means that your thoughts can actually create your life.  Whether in a metaphysical sense, or a purely psychological sense, what you think opens or closes opportunity for you.  What you focus on can open doors and show you synchronicities that you may otherwise not have had available to you, and if you’re a believer in the law of attraction, what you think, your thoughts and feelings can even help to determine what people are around you in traffic and how they react.

So if your thoughts creat your life, what can you do to improve life?

Focus on things that truly bring you joy.  Not things that you think are supposed to make you happy, or things that kind of make you happy, but things (people, places and events) that actually bring a smile to your face or offer you some feeling of relief.

For me personally, I think of the people I love, my kids and family, I focus on playing with them, talking to them or just hanging out.  I also focus on my car, because I love my car.  It has been one of my dream cars for over 9 years, and I finally got it, and I drive it every day, if for no other reason than to go down the block and be in my car.  These are things that truly bring me joy.

What kinds of things bring you joy?  Focus on these things, not the problems with them, but the things you love about them.  Even if you think it’s all baloney, you will be in a much happier state for the time being, and isn’t happiness what we all crave so much?

If you really need a pep up, try to slip away to a private place, even if it’s just a public restroom, and take a few breaths and think about things that make you happy.

How can this change your life?

Well, happy and successful people tend to hang out with happy and successful people.  They all focus on things they love and enjoy, and do similar things.  Focusing on the negatives will only get you more negative people and experiences in life.  We all have bad things happen to us, it’s how you react that makes you who you are.

So try focusing more on things you love and less on things you don’t.  Do more things that are fun and less that aren’t.  It seems like simple advice, but if you walk into any office building, you will see that it’s much needed.

What you think shapes your life, your mood, and your focus.  Think Good thoughts, and focus on things  you want more of.  You will have more of them.

I hope this finds you well,

Ryan
