Which Circle Demands Your Attention & Energy?

If I drew three circles and labeled them: Circle 1: things I can control. Circle 2: Things I want to control but it involves relationships. Circle 3: Things beyond my control. The first circle would not have many entries. I can only control myself (and sometimes that seems difficult. LOL. Circle two is much larger. It involves family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Circle 3 is the rest of the stuff like politics, weather, sport teams, mocking birds eating figs off my fig tree. You get the idea. My unhappiness increases in direct proportion to the amount of attention I expend trying to control things in circles 2 and 3. If I let go of trying to control things in circle 2 and 3 and focus on circle 1, suddenly my unhappiness decreases and my happiness increases.

Today’s Power Thought ~ Changing Directions

Where our attention goes, our energy flows. One way to get unstuck is to change the direction of our attention. When we turn our attention to positive, uplifting dreams our energy flows in that direction. To do so, we have to turn our attention away from that which is distracting us from the  pursuit of our dreams.
