Mind Power - Focus Your Mind On What You Want

The great advantage of knowing what you want the most is that the power of your mind will help you get it.

Within your mind at an unconscious level is something called the Reticular Activating System. It’s almost like your own personal search engine which automatically picks up ideas and opportunities to help you move toward that goal.

It is the Reticular Activating System that is said to help you notice which of the millions of bits of information coming at you every second are the ones that will help you get what you want.

Another way of describing this concept is that “the thinker thinks and the prover proves.” Essentially, your mind is split into two parts:

• The “thinker” has total freedom and can think anything.
• The “prover” will find evidence for it.

So, if you’re focused on where you’re going – and believe you will get there – then the “prover” will find ways of supporting you and helping you toward your objective.

But if you have no clear sense of direction or you have doubts about your abilities, your “prover” will come up with evidence that you are right.

Keep your focus 100% on what you want rather than on what you don’t want. Either way, you might just get what you’re focusing on.

Focus has been described as Following One Course Until Successful.

So, if you’re not sure what you’re focusing on now, just check your results. If you’re not getting the results that you want, perhaps you need to change your focus.

• What is the single most important outcome you are focused on achieving this week?

• What are the three biggest outcomes you are focused on achieving this year?

• What activities are you doing or what thoughts are you having that distract you from these objectives?

• Can you change these thoughts or stop these actions?
