How this concept translates to your life and business is very similar. If you stay focused on your vision and goals while taking action to move forward, you are far more likely to make them a reality. Even when you find yourself where you don’t want to be and feel like you’re stuck in a black hole, ability to focus on where you want to go versus obsessing about being stuck in hole can mean difference between progress and a dead end.

Since so many of thoughts we think each day are unconscious and our minds are filled with chatter, it can sometimes be elusive to determine where our focus really lies at any given moment. Considering fact that our focus possesses so much power, it really pays to become aware of our thoughts and where our sights are set at any given moment.

Consider following questions: •What do I think about most often? What is ongoing chatter and broken record that keeps playing in my head? •What do I spend my time talking about when I interact with others? Am I talking about what’s not working or am I talking about what’s right in a situation? •Am I where I want to be with my relationships, business, career, physical health, etc.? If not, am I focusing on problem or working to reveal source and explore solutions? •Am I looking where I want to go or where I don’t want to go?

After all, there is no value in wanting. As long as you just want, it will always be a want. But when you “decide”, that is to make up your mind that your going to be a “doer” then slowly but surely your life will begin to change. Dedication to accomplish what I believed in wasn’t an over night task, it took years to show up in my life. Yet today I can truly say that I’m not what I use to be.

I don’t think way I use to think. Today my words carry weight. I mean and do what I say. My actions line up with my words. How did I accomplish this? By visualizing what I wanted to do and by being committed to obtaining and living it.

By forsaking every negative force in my life and replacing them with every possible positive I could find. My music, friends (drinking, smoking and single care-free lifestyle buddies) and movies (high sexual content, violence) had to go. They are powerful subtle influences in our lives that corrupt and serve to change our desires.

Getting rid of filth left me more time to concentrate on accomplishing my goals and desires. Enabling me to live my dreams, which incidentally changed with my changed lifestyle.
