Moving Away or Towards
During the expansion of the United States there was a mass calling to move west. Some thrived but many did not. What was the difference? Why did some thrive and many others struggle, leaving one bad situation only to enter into another one?
The answer can be summed up in one word . . . “Focus”. The ones that thrived were the ones that focused on moving towards Prosperity. The ones who did not were focused on moving away from Poverty.
By moving towards Prosperity, the focus was on Prosperity and they found it. By moving away from Poverty, the focus was on Poverty and they found more of the same. They attracted more of what they were moving away from.
The Power is in the Focus… Focus on the “Get to’s”….. not the “Got to’s”. Focus on the “Want to’s”…. not the “Have to’s”.
There is a line in the movie, The Magnificent 7, that was, well… Magnificent! The main character, Sam, has gathered 6 other people to take back a town that has been overrun and controlled by thieves. He is sitting with his friend, (one of the 7), the night before they are going to take back the town. His friend knows Sam’s past history and a vendetta he has for one of the thieves. The friend asks Sam why he is doing this. Sam says because the town’s people needs us. His friend’s response was powerful. He said,
“Just making sure we’re fighting a battle in front of us, not behind us”
Pay Attention to what you are Paying attention to. Be sure you are Moving Towards, not Away From your goals! Ask yourself…., “Am I moving away from; Poverty - Disease - Struggle and Hardship.” or “Am I moving towards; Prosperity - Health - Challenges and Happiness.”
This is an extremely important distinction to understand and to always be aware of: Away from is a Fear based energy. Towards is an Empowerment based energy.
It is important to “know” what we “don’t want,” that is how we use the past to learn and grow. But to succeed, we must be sure our“Focus” is on what we “Do want.”
Dedicate the Month of December and January to Focus your Thoughts and Feelings Towards what you want, and the future that you desire!
Are you moving Away from 2016 or Towards 2017?
