Choosing Your Thoughts Carefully

Lately I have been rereading some of Napolean Hill's books. They coincide with the Louise Hay tapes that I listen to on Youtube, and the Esther Hicks'  Law of Attraction lectures. These are my daily lessons. I soak them in, and  let them permeate my consciousness. This way of thinking is how I manifested my career as a professional dancer. I apply the same principals now,  as a writer. 

Basically, what these people  all teach is that what we focus on, we attract. If we write down our goals, take action, and are persistent, atoms and molecules will shift, and our circumstances change. It's so important to focus on what you want to create. Many of us slip into doubt and fear, and then we attract those very negative situations and circumstances.

As a magazine writer, I see how much the world of  writing has changed. Periodical  and the news have taken on a very different tone than the hopeful optimism that I remember from my youth. I make a concerted effort not to get swept up into the negative news. Habits like complaining, criticizing, and judging lower our vibration, and they become a vicious cycle. I know that if I fall into these traps, more of the same energy zooms toward me. Because of that, I choose what I ingest very carefully.

As a dancer, I was taught an extreme level of self discipline.  It serves me to this day.  Something about the classical music, the talented teachers, and the vigilant focus on technique brought us to a very high level.  The group energy was exciting and inspiring. We were joined, energetically, through our higher aspirations.  We were always striving.

If we study and discuss the current scandals and violence in the news, we lower ourselves to that level. It is so important to stay uplifted and engaged in positive action. I call it "vibrating high". My aunt used to tell me, "Rise above it." I didn't understand what she meant at the time, but now I do. We have the power to focus our mind and to set our intention. It is the greatest predictor of our success or failure. The mind is like a magnet. It doesn't discriminate. How do you hold your focus?
