I suppose this quote from Brian Tracy seems
obvious. It is obvious, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it said exactly this
way, and when I saw it for the first time, it was as if it jumped off the
page.

 

How often do we spend time thinking about what can
go wrong? What we fear? What might happen? What others will think? How it will
work? The plan? The plan for the plans? The news? The economy? The bills to pay?
The lack of _____ or _____?

 

It’s not that any of us would consciously focus on
those things, right? We all know that focusing on these things won’t help,
right? Yet, we do. We pay attention. We were taught to pay attention. The
radio, TV, Internet, newspaper, friends, co-workers all tell us to pay
attention.

 

Who has time to focus on what we desire? But, what
if we did? How would that change things if we focused on our desires and ignored
the fears? Hmmmm. Maybe we’re on to something here. . .
