I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness. Perhaps you can hold the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Maybe you have some untapped talent you regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Focus
We need to focus on the things that matter in our lives—the things we can encourage and help flourish, the things that make us happy.
Often, we focus on the not-so-good stuff. The things that go wrong, the mistakes we make, and the things that don’t bring joy to our lives. While we cannot brush our mistakes under the rug, we should own up to them and then release them instead of allowing them to haunt us.
Perhaps we focus on people in our lives who we no longer align with, such as coworkers, friends, or even family. Sometimes, it is hard to release these people, but you can focus on wishing them well and releasing them to focus on the people in your life that bring you joy.
Just because you have released someone from your life does not mean you wish them ill. It only means you are placing your loyalty with yourself.
We must learn to catch ourselves when focusing on the wrong things and refocus our thoughts.
Our focus needs to be placed where it can best serve us.
Today’s challenge:
Focus on the things that bring you joy and release the other stuff.
