Are You Focusing on ‘What is Wrong’ or ‘What is Right’ With Your Life?


Are You Focusing on ‘What is Wrong’ or ‘What is Right’ With Your Life?

One of the biggest challenges I see people facing that keeps them from expressing their full potential and manifesting what they truly desire is constantly focusing on ‘what is wrong with their life’ or ‘what is lacking in their life’ without realizing they are doing so.  After all, it seems to make perfect sense:  identify those areas of yourself which are lacking or in need of improvement so that you can develop the skills, experience or knowledge necessary to overcome whatever perceived personal deficiency there is.

While this appears to be logical and supportive of greater personal development, in reality it is a trap that actually causes one to create further lack and difficulty in their lives and one that many highly conscious individuals fall into.  If left unacknowledged, it can eventually lead to frustration, depression and other maladaptive beliefs and emotions.



Thankfully, it is quite easily fixed.  More often than not, it simply takes someone pointing out the essence of what is occurring to snap people out of this ‘bad thinking habit’.



What We Focus On Is What We Create

I think this excerpt from the Seth/Jane Roberts book The Nature of Personal Reality, does a wonderful job of eloquently summarizing the problem in a way that gets right to the heart of the matter:

Individuals can go from psychologist to psychologist, from self-therapy to self-therapy, always with the same question: “What is wrong?” The question itself becomes a format through which experience is seen, and itself represents one of the main reasons for all limitations, physical, psychic or spiritual.

At one point or another the individual ceased concentrating upon what was right in certain personal areas, and began to focus upon and magnify specific “lacks.” With all good intentions, then, various solutions are looked for, but all based upon the premise that something is wrong.

If such a practice is continued, the concentration upon negatives can gradually bleed out into other previously unblemished areas of experience.

The essence of what is being described here is this: If you focus on what is lacking in your life, even if the intention is to change it for the better, you are still focusing on what you are lacking and so that is what you will create and continue to find in your life.  It is a self-perpetuating cycle.

Instead, if you switch to focusing on, as Seth puts it, ‘What is Right’ in your life, you will develop those qualities and hence find more and more things that are right in your life as you continue to create them.

It is all a matter of your focus and perception — it always is and always will be.

This concept is based on the divine Law of Attraction, which can be simply stated as follows: 

What you focus on, is what you create.
