Change Your Focus
Spend 60 seconds looking around the room and note of everything that’s red.
Any shade of red will do. Crimson. Fire-engine red. Burgundy. Maroon.
Even hot pink.
Commit as many red things to memory as possible.
Don’t over-think the process, use whatever memory or recall method you feel will give you the best result.
Now close your eyes.
Wait a minute or two.
Then, with your eyes still closed, try to recite a list of everything in the room that’s colored ... brown.
Open your eyes, and you’ll instantly see what you hadn’t before: all things brown.
“It’s amazing what becomes apparent when you look at the same thing (room, relationship, career, business, opportunity, person, health) with a totally different focus.
What was once invisible becomes immediately apparent. Obvious even.
When you have a narrow focus, you don’t see the entirety of what’s there.
When you look for bad, you’ll find it.
When you expect rejection, you’ll find that too.
If you’re constantly searching for problems, you’ll never see the solutions.”
With the focus open, you see
The potential.
The gifts.
The joy.
The fun.
The good.
The opportunity.
