Last week I heard the comment: whatever you focus on expands … so make sure you don’t stare at your rear end too long. Once I got past the humor, I started thinking about the meaning behind the words. For example, focusing on your vocation means your future prospects should expand. If you concentrate on your education, your knowledge will increase. Read more, and your vocabulary and comprehension will improve. Two of my nieces have focused on their families and, between the two of them, I’m the great auntie of 18 amazing kids. I think it can be even easier than that, however. If you focus on the positive, more of the good things in your life are illuminated. Conversely, if you focus on the negative, it may seem like you’re down on your luck more often than not. What we focus on expands. I’m going to start with love and patience and go from there.
What is one thing you wish to see expand in your life?

I love the idea that focusing on positivity shows up more of the good things in your life. I’ll give that a try!
Aside from that, I’d like to see an improvement in the tidiness of my house and the amount of time I have in the day… I think I may have identified a couple of exceptions to the rule there though…

~ I think there are always exceptions to the rule … it keeps life interesting if nothing else 🙂 Please check back and report on how your focus is doing!

If I STOP thinking about my tummy…will that work?
Seriously, I’d love my WIP novel to expand into the internet – via Amazon. Almost there…

~ Hmmmm, not sure if taking the focus OFF of something changes the outcome (note to self: future blog post), but you could certainly give it a whirl! As for your WIP novel, keep focusing!
