I have written many times about focusing on things and growing them......where our focus goes, so does growth or suffering......I think having my women's series nearly full is a tangible example of that......I set to focusing on growing my business, with intention, every day about 6 weeks or so ago and did just that.....putting myself out there daily, with my message, and my intention, and my presence......and in turn it yielded the results I was seeking based on that focus.....but I was thinking of sort of the opposite of that the last couple of days....and how sometimes we need to also turn our attention AWAY from unwanted things in our lives.....things that are bringing us unnecessary pain and suffering......it is not enough to just shift the focus to the growth we want to see.....but it is balanced on the other side by turning our attention away.....away from what it is that is bringing us the things we don't want in life, or to the places we don't want to be....again all intentional......we craft our reality in a very real sense in the day to day. Creating the life of our choosing.....writing the narrative the way we see fit......I did that after the end of my marriage.....refusing to be a victim, or a loser in the story, or the one that was left to be sad and broken......and deciding that the pages were crisp and clean and white and ready for a beautiful story to be poured onto them....and you know what it has been....I did that......writing the narrative of my choosing.....and it is always exciting to know that my power lies in that......always.....even when something seems challenging, or is hurting me in some way, I always....... always........ always......have the power to write a new story....to shift focus and find new treasure......and that is more powerful than I can even express......I do not need to fall victim anymore to circumstance.....or feel as if life is happening around me.....I need not be caught up in the mindless flow.....once I grab my awareness and intention back, the open road appears......ready for me in my convertible with the top down , music blaring, and sunglasses on lol:) and it is funny as I write about these things, in different contexts, showing up at different times, in different ways.....they really are all connected.....all these powerful lessons.....they actually will all make their way into my future book:) Have them mapped out..... focus, intention, mindfulness, surrender, letting go, commitment, consistency, and so much more.....they are all layered upon one another.....all sort of needing one another at one point or another to function at their best.....so this morning I needed to remind myself of this, and maybe you too.....that attention is powerful, and once you turn away from what it is you should, it equals freedom.....:) Happy Wednesday! We are halfway there:)
