"FOCUS ON "WHAT YOU WANT" IN LIFE INSTEAD OF
FOCUSING ON "WHAT YOU DON'T WANT" IN LIFE”
Persistence:
Two simple questions!!
What do you want? What you don’t want in life? Whatever the answers to
both these questions, the answers persist in your mind. The persistence is much
stronger and deeper for the negative question. Considering an example of
building a new relationship. Now, you may say to yourself that you want to
build a relationship with someone or you don’t want to build a relationship
with that person. Both these ideas persist in your mind.
Direction:
When the answer is
positive such as “I want to build a relationship” then you have set a direction.
Mind works in tune with direction. It gives all the possibilities for you to
take actions and whatever actions that you take will lead you in this set
direction. So, there is a progress. But, when the answer is negative such as “I
don’t want to build a relationship”, mind still gives all the possibilities for
you to take the actions. But, you will be thrown with number of other
alternatives too. Should you need to build relationship with yet another
person? Should you be satisfied with the existing relationship? Should you need
to strengthen the current relationship? Or simply think of something about your
profession. So, the direction is lost here & hence, there is no progress.
Strength:
What you resist persists. I don’t want to see my boss very
often. A very nature of a thought such as this creates a situation where you
are forced to meet your boss very often. Instead, focus on “what you want “in
life. You may want to meet the client who will help in assigning an order or
you may want to meet your colleague who will help in your project. When, such
thoughts become stronger then the situations created will work in your favour.
Deeper Mind:
Negative connotation has a different meaning at the deeper
level of the mind. A thought such as “I
don’t want to meet my boss” will be translated as “I want to meet my boss” at
the subconscious level of the mind. So, focus on “What you want” in life
instead of focussing on “what you don’t want” in life. By doing so, your
direction is set.
Summary:
Mind: what you resist persists.
Resistance: I don't want to see my boss,I don't want this
project, I don't want this relationship... a wrong strategy.
Right strategy: I want this project; I want this
relationship... strategy that gives direction to your mind.
