Having It A.L.L.

How To Expand The Great Things In Life Through Focus


Listen Later

You've probably heard sayings like"What you think you become." (Buddha) and "What you focus on expands." (T. Harv Eker).


They are great and make for awesome social media quotes and refrigerator magnets.


But I think the fact that they are used (perhaps overused today) so much has watered down the impact of the message.


The things that we choose to focus our time, energy, thoughts and resources on, grow and multiply and become more real for us.


We can all conjure up examples of this in our lives. It doesn't take much mental effort to do.

 

But I know that for at least myself, I don't take it to heart enough, and I wonder why it may be hard to shake feelings of frustration, sadness or resentment. 


It's because I'm focusing on them, instead of the amazing things in life!


This episode was inspired by an Epic Challenge that a friend of mine brought into our accountability group and received feedback on. Part of her feedback was that "the things you focus on expand", and it hit me in a powerful way because of the place that I was in at the time. 


In this episode I talk about the Epic Challenge feedback, discuss examples of things that I've been focusing on that have expanded in my world, and provide some solutions for creating and experiencing more great moments and less sad moments.


What you'll learn in this episode:

  • How to experience more great things in life through focus
  • 9 simple actions to help you form a gratitude habit

  • STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?
