Always Forward

In moving forward we must remember “Energy flows where attention goes.” Thought is energy.

How can we move forward if our attention is on our past, thinking I should have done this or said that?

How can we move forward if our energy is focused on fear…. speculation…. unfounded doubts?

How can we move forward if our focus is on anything but what we wish to accomplish…whether it be business, relationship or otherwise?

We cannot expend energy trying to convince everyone around us that our purpose is worthy. You will never please everyone and may possibly lose some friendships or even sever some family ties because they will choose to be inflexible and self-serving. Their “judgments” will be based on the appearance of things as they see them, not the Truth. They cannot know our purpose nor what is best for us, we cannot continually direct our energy toward the life others think we should live, trying to please all, and ever hope to experience our purpose. Their teaching and understanding will come in their time…. when they are ready to receive it.

Moving forward toward our purpose = sacrifice of what currently is. Much will have to be left behind. There must be a willingness to let go of old thinking patterns producing our current habits and behaviors. If we wish to move forward in any area of life we must redirect our energy, how we think about it, to create new results.

Sacrifice little – move little

Sacrifice much – move a lot

To everything there is a gestation period. Total focus of energy on our purpose = fastest result.
We must gather all our energy, recall it from its fragmented state of worry about the past and things not yet realized, bring all into one focus as you would the heat of the sun by use of a magnifying glass, to target that which we wish to create.

If you believe that what you are doing is worthwhile, meaningful, exciting, and achievable, it will show up in your demeanor and your actions.

Set your mind toward the thing you want to accomplish, so resolutely, so definitely, and with such enthusiastic determination, and put so much grit into your resolution, that nothing on earth can turn you from your purpose until you attain it.
