Do you want to achieve extraordinary results and fulfillment in your work, career or mission? If so, you need to get laser focused on what it is you really want and create a crystal clear vision of where you want to go.
As Tony Robbins says, energy flows where attention goes. To get what you really want in life, you need a clear goal that has purpose and meaning behind it. Once this is in place, you can focus your energy on the goal and become obsessive about it. When you learn how to focus your energy, amazing things happen. You get insights that weren’t available to you before. You run into people who seem magically put in your path to help you. You overhear conversations or stumble upon resources that further your plan. That’s the secret of how energy flows where attention goes.
Focusing on the positive
What happens when you’re always picking out flaws or paying attention to the negative aspects of life? When you ascribe to Tony’s belief that where focus goes, energy flows and are already committing to staying in a dark headspace, it means you will get more negativity because it’s what you’re concentrating on.
You need to develop an abundance mindset. Choosing gratitude and appreciation over criticism and negativity leads to attracting more of the things you can appreciate and be grateful for. When you look in the mirror, do you see your beautiful smile or do you instantly notice how old you’re starting to look? If you focus on the positives, you’ll radiate confidence and be attractive to others.
The next time you’re in a new situation or environment, practice the “where focus goes, energy flows” way of thinking. If you’re outdoors, notice the cool breeze or the smell of nearby flowers. If you’re inside, try to spot interesting décor or architectural styles. If you meet new people in this situation, ask thoughtful questions and listen deeply to the answers. Focus on at least one personality trait you admire in each person you talk to.
How do you feel when you leave this new situation? How does this differ from similar situations you’ve been in when you’ve spent all your time thinking about how you’d rather be somewhere else? When you focus on the positives, you’ll be amazed at how much easier it becomes to unlock an extraordinary life.
