What you
focus on Expands.
This is a law
that can serve you well once you use it consciously. You have
noticed this law in effect. For example, you have decided to buy a
red Honda and all of a sudden you see Red Hondas everywhere. That is
a mundane demonstration of this law.
All good
managers know this law. They acknowledge their employees for the
wonderful things they do and then suggest the next level of
improvement, like this. “Hal, you are doing a great job in shipping,
those last orders went out way ahead of time and I really appreciate
that, and I have a great idea for how we might make it even better.
Then the good manager will catch Hal in the act of doing things
right, and acknowledge him then and there. This makes the positive
acknowledgement real and Hal won’t feel patronized.
I use this all
the time in teaching martial arts. I tell the kids how wonderful
they are doing and then I add the improvement I want them to make.
Then I catch them looking good and I make a big deal out of it.
Later the parents often say, how is he able to do this, he was
totally uncoordinated. This method overcomes limitations and makes
the world a happier place because there is a lot of love going on in
this practice. And Love is magical.
Because what
you focus on expands, focus on Love. Decide to see what you love.
Decide to see it and you will, and it will expand. Decide to see the
good in people and it will expand, making it hard for you to judge
them harshly.
If you abolish
the practice of condemning people, yourself, and the world we share,
you will not be able to suffer. All suffering has a negative
judgment at its core. The easiest way to quit judging is to decide
to see the good first, no matter what. Then if you need to make
changes go ahead offer some advice it will be received much better.
Do this with
all the people in your life and eventually you will find yourself
surrounded by love and appreciation, it will all come back to you.
The goodness you have decided to see will expand because you focus
on it and draw it forth from others. And be sure you apply this law
to yourself, see your goodness, see your strength, see your beauty
and let it expand outwardly. And catch yourself in the acts of
kindness that you do.
What you focus
on expands so start to acknowledge the good in yourself, your
spouse, your kids, co-workers and everyone you meet. Watch the
miracles as love begins to grow in your life.
Your feedback is
always welcomed.
Sincerely,
