You are what you focus on.

This is good news actually… only tragedy is if you don’t take responsibility for what you choose to attend to.

So, whether you’re focusing on challenges in front of you, anxiety, obstacles, things you’re grateful for, visions of the future you’re dreaming of or taking action on the one thing needed to get you closer to making that vision a reality… you get to decide the things your mind nurtures and ultimately grows.

Not everyone believes this of course. Some think that the mind gets to go wherever it wants. And it will if you let it. Taking thoughts captive though is a power humans uniquely have. It’s just a muscle rarely exercised.

When you find yourself in conversations (with yourself or with others) that aren’t resourceful, feel the freedom to interrupt. The new perspective you choose to take just might redirect your entire trajectory.
