​BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FOCUS ON by Pennie Hunt

Do you have trouble focusing? Most of the time, I wear contact lenses. Sometimes I wear glasses. When I switch between the two, my eyes take time to focus on what I’m looking at. My vision stays blurred for a while until my eyes adjust to the different form of lens.

We can face the same problem when looking at life. We have trouble focusing on what we should be seeing. We become distracted and we don’t focus on the right things. We focus on the problems. We focus on the negativity. We focus on what’s not going well. Our minds and thoughts become blurred. This blurred vision can keep us locked​ in on all the bad things of life. We create a vicious pattern of spitting anger, hate, and disappointment toward things we can’t change.

What if we change that focus?  Change from your contacts to your glasses, so to speak. Look at the world differently and focus on the good. Focus on the happiness in life. Focus on positivity. Because it is there, right alongside the bad things that are happening. It’s just up to you where you focus your line of vision and your attention. Where we focus is something we can change.

We will always be bombarded with bad news and negativity, but where are the good things that happen? What about the good news? Focus your attention on the good.
Good will always balance the bad, but you must focus on the good, or the scales will tip so your vision only sees the bad. You will form a habitual behavior of only seeing the bad. You only talk about the bad. You will only feel the bad. You will become so ingrained in your line of vision that you become what you focus on – the bad.

Refocus your perspective on life. Events don’t happen to us; they happen for us. Everything that happens in life, good and bad, is happening to teach us lessons and encourage our growth as humans.
 
This may be difficult to grasp, but once you do, your outlook on life will change. Even when hardships seem unfair, instead of seeing the problem as an obstacle, ask yourself what you are learning and how you are growing from the situation. Find the good in every bad situation.
 
Even in tragedy, there is good. During a tragedy, people come together to support and help each other. We see the best in people when tragedy hits. Focus on what is good about a bad situation. Every experience, good or bad, is shaping you into the person you’re meant to be.
 
You may not be able to control everything in life, but YOU have the power to control your focus. Focus your attention on the good for one day. Only allow your vision to focus on good events, good actions, and good people. Become so intent on seeing the good in the world that all you see is good. Your vision will blur the bad situations in life, so you will no longer be able to focus on the bad. Do this for a day, a week, a month…then let me know how it changes your vision.​ ​And how it changes your life.
