You Attract What You Give Your Attention
13th March 2008
Whatever you give your attention to, you will attract more of.
I’m sure you already realize that, but how often are you simply reacting to circumstances and unconsciously giving them your attention? It happens to all of us and a lot of the time!
Something in your life story can happen unexpectedly and like a light bulb being switched on, you’ll instantly forget about what you’re giving your attention.
“He shouldn’t have said that”
“How dare you!”
“You should be locked up”
“I can’t believe its just happened to me”
“What am I going to do?”
These sorts of thoughts are instantly available to you because you’ve practiced them many times before. They’ve become habitual. It’s not the end of the world though, you CAN stop your reaction to these events by becoming present in the moment and giving the situation your attention, not your thoughts.
If action is required, it will come to you. If no action is required, then the situation has now resolved itself.
Here’s a simply terrific illustration of this in action.

There’s plenty of different lessons to be learned from this video. I chose to focus on only one in my blog post.
Different people will take different meanings no doubt. Feel free to share your views on what you feel the video is trying to teach.
