Start focusing on what you really want now. by Darryn Aldridge

What has happened to that fun, interesting and exciting life

we promised ourselves, and should now be living?

We live in a world that is brimming with fantastic

opportunities, yet why do we as individuals regularly fail

to make the most of these plentiful gifts that are

available to all of us to enjoy and prosper from?

We start at an early age, inocently dreaming of the things

we desire, the fun we want to have, the dream job, the

travel to exotic locations..the list goes on.

What happens as we get older though, is that collectivly,

we start accepting negative beliefs about our dreams and

our abilities to obtain them.

We begin to believe that those dreams and desires we once

held dear to us, are infact impossible dreams that are only

available to others who are luckier than us.

We now have this massive empty hole in our

lives that we start to fill with emotions, such as dread,

envy, helplessness and self pity.

Where we were once happy and excited about life, we now

started to feel depressed and unmotivated. We develop

an uncomfortable nagging feeling that "something is

missing in our lives" or that "life should be better than

this". We start to accept our current position in life as

"about as good as I can expect" , we roll over and let life

pass us by. We put our lives on auto-pilot and let whatever

happens just happen.

What we have now created is a situation where our main

focus has turned to what we "don't have" and "what we

don't want". By foccusing all our attention on these

negative thoughts, we have lost sight of the fact that there

really is no one but ourselves standing in the way of

creating the perfect world for us.

Focus enough on what you don't want and that is exactly

what you will get. That is a fact.

So where to from here?

Luckily, the transformation from "don't have" to "I have"

isn't a huge leap, though it will be truely life changing.

We need to remember that as humans we have this amazing

ability to decide what is good or what is bad. We control

what we focus on, we just have to sit up, take notice, and

throw away the old negative views that were once bring us

down and preventing us from living life the way it should

be lived.

Here are some easy steps to help you get started.

1) Don't View The World As A Bad Place.

We are bombarded daily with news of wars, terrorist

threats, murders and unspeakable crimes. By focussing on

all the negative events that are going on around us, we

lose sight of all the great things that are happening, but

not getting into the news.

Any news, good or bad is only so depending on how YOU

interpret it. We can't, and shouldn't, ignore the bad

things, but we must learn to put them into perspective and

decide how we will focus on them.

2)Start Dreaming Again.

Grab yourself a pen and paper, find yourself a quiet corner

and let your mind go wild. Really think about what you want
