Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. They seem to be the purpose of God for his whole creation. — Richard Holloway
Something I have found that differentiates the Michael Jordans, the Tiger Woods in this life, from let’s say, the Cary Darlings, is focus. But there is something that goes a bit deeper than focus, and it is clarity. It is not enough to just want something, but to be able to define what it is exactly that you want, and then with a single purpose in mind, to take action to achieve that goal.
Clarity and focus are two things I have found missing in my life, they are another tool to add to the old tool box in order to increase the abundance I am already living in my life. Thoughts become things and when you have focus, and clarity, the Law of Attraction works that much quicker, because your thoughts tend to focus exactly on the things you do want in your life, while keeping your mind off of those things that you don’t want in your life.
However, there are times when you need to quickly consider what it is you do not want in your life, in order to get some clarity on exactly what it is you want. For example, one exercise I learned from Michael Losier’s book, The Law of Attraction - The Science of Attracting More of What You Do Want, and Less of What You Don’t, is to get clarity through contrast.
You use this exercise in each aspect of your life, whether its relationships, your finances, your career, health etc to help narrow down exactly what it is you want. You grab a sheet of paper, write at the top of the paper what it is you’re focusing on, for example career, along with the date. Then you draw a line down the middle and start by defining what it is you do not want in your career and write those things on the left, and the things you do want out of a career, you put those on the right. Anytime you write down things like goals, or desire statements, it is always best to date them, and write them out in complete sentences. The point of all of this is to attain clarity. How can God, the source, the Universe know what it is you want, when you yourself can’t quite express it.
But remember, to not dwell on the things you don’t want, don’t give them that much time, that much energy, just write them down, and when you find the contrast for that item, the opposite thing you do want, then scratch it off. This is just another part of empowering your mind, when you scratch off the list of things you do not want in your life, it is as if you are telling your mind, you have already conquered that negative aspect of your life, and you will not accept anymore of it.
I’m a busy little man these days, and I am not just talking about work. I have jumped off the deep end here, and I am totally immersing myself into my new life. I have a lot of new tools I am wanting to share with my friends, and anonymous readers, that are helping me to narrow down my thoughts, in order to gain clarity, so I too can with a single purpose take action and meet or exceed my goals.
It all begins with gratitude. If you can’t be thankful for what you have already attracted into your life, you’re only making it that much tougher to attract any more. Remember to always be grateful, even for those negative little experiences you come across, because even within those, there are some important lessons to be learned.
