Always Focus On What You Have Left

"Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost." ~Robert H. Schuller


We all go through change. Sometimes the problem is that when we do, we keep our focus on what we lost, rather than what we still have or what can now come to us from the change. Have you done that? I'm sure that we all have. The trick is to look at what we have left.  When you focus on what you have left, you get more of what you want, rather than pinning for what is no longer there.

One of my favorite quotes is "The place for what you want is currently occupied by what you have settled for." When you lose something, know that it will be replaced by something even better. But what have you settled for? Why?  

Most people settle because they don't believe they are worth it or someone told them that they would never get what they want or they didn't deserve it.  Why are you still listening to those old voices?

If you want new things to come into your life, you need to get rid of the things that you settled for. Open up that space and it will be filled. That's just the way it works. The other thing to keep in mind is that whatever happens in your life, to be grateful about it and you will get more things to be grateful for!

The Full Force Of Passions

“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost."

How fast is your ship sailing? Does it have the full gale force of passion behind it or is it just meandering slowly across the water?  Is your passion the driving force behind what you do?  Or are you just floating through life, playing small? Does the passion come and go like a gust or is it steady, moving you in the direction that you want to go?

How often do you reasses your passion to see what level you are operating at?  Too many of us have let the passion slip away and we are just doing things because we have always have done them...No passion.  No why.

Is your vessel lost? Is it without a pilot to steer her? Does the pilot know clearly where it is headed or is the place just 'somewhere over there?' Does the pilot have the knowledge to know what to do when the gale force winds of passion drive the ship?  Our challenge arises because most of us have no real clarity about what we really want.  Sure, you have wants, but without clarity, those wants will never be satisfied and that is why we stay stuck.

Get crystal clear on what you want...and then go out and grab it!
One way to get crystal clear is to fill out the "Reflect Back and Plan Forward" worksheet.  If you would like one, send an email to david@mentoringyoursuccess.com or text your email to 602-577-2624 and I will send it to you.

Are You Still Looking At What You Lost?

Where Is Your Focus?

"Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost."
~Robert H. Schuller


We all go through change. Sometimes the problem is that when we do, we keep our focus on what we lost, rather than what we still have or what can now come to us from the change.   Have you done that? I'm sure that we all have. The trick is to look at what we have left.  While what may have been lost was very important to you at the time, something even better is coming right behind it!

One of my favorite quotes is "The place for what you want is currently occupied by what you have settled for." When you lose something, know that it will be replaced by something even better. But what have you settled for? A job that just pays the bills?  A bad relationship?Something less than what you REALLY want?  Why did you settle?

If you want new things to come into your life, you need to get rid of the things that you settled for. Open up that space and it will be filled. That's just the way it works. The other thing to keep in mind is that whatever happens in your life, to be grateful about it and you will get more things to be grateful for!

Gale Force Of Passion

“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost."

As you think about your ship and the destination that you are headed to, what do you see? Are there storm clouds ahead or will it be smooth sailing? Maybe it will be a little of both, but are you ready for anything?

Get crystal clear on what you want...and then go out and grab it!
