Focus...Focus...Focus
Read More:
I just got back from a walk down my half mile of dirt road...my exercise and thinking time.
I was thinking about what my mentor has been telling me ... think about what is going right ...not about what is going wrong. She also told me that only 2% of people do that...wow...that is a lot of people thinking about what is going wrong in their lives.
No wonder so many people have problems and are living in lack and just don't seem to be getting any better.
In self development books and seminars it is always stressed that we get what we think about...therefore it looks like 98% of us are going to continue to have the same problems if we continue to focus on them.
The apostle Paul when he wrote to the Philippians long ago said focus on what is true, what is noble, what is right, what is pure, what is lovely, what is admirable, what is excellent, and what is praiseworthy.
So what we focus on determines everything in our lives...
I watched a Tony Robbins video where he used the game golf for an example...just being a millimeter off in the angle as the the face of the club hits the ball...can cause the ball to go into the rough or into the pond.
If your focus is off on your aiming for the bullseye while shooting a rifle you can miss by a mile.
So we focus on what is positive...so what do we do in this negative world we live in...look for the positive in all situations.
Remember Star Trek we watched as kids...at the beginning of each episode was the star ship Enterprise traveling through space at warp speed and how the stars were whizzing past. Keep that picture in your mind and think of the stars as negative situations and events.
My analogy here is the guidance system of the ship kept it on course and away from stars that would destroy it.
Our focus on things that are going right and positive keeps us from consequences of negative thinking and negative action which would take us far away from what we want to achieve.
Another important point that has been brought out is if we don't purposely put positive into our minds, negative will automatically flow in with no effort...seems like a strange mechanism but it happens that way.
So if we are lazy and just sitting in front of the TV, any negative programming just flows right in...and we wonder why things around us can be so negative.
Or if let gossip or any other form of negative communication capture our attention, then we will lose our focus on the positive and positive action.
So one of the most important factors in self development is to focus on what is right...that will enable us to envision what we want and then get what we want.

Keeping it Positive!
Thank you Dr. Phil,
So True. If we don't tend the garden of our mind the weeds of negativity will grow and take over.

Focusing on the Positive
Dr. Phil, I agree. Whatever you focus on in life you will get. Without true focus and a vision, you will not be successful. People need to understand how powerful focusing can be. Most people focus on the wrong things and wonder why they are not getting the results they want; whatever you focus on you will receive. Great Article and Value, Dr. Phil.
Strong Positive Mindset
It is so Important to work on Personal Growth. The only way to rid our minds of the negativity around us is to have a self talk. Focusing on the negative attracts negative. Repeating a Positive Self Talk will Attract Positive things into your life.

A very good perscription for the woes. Positive thinking and an apple. Thanks, I can handle that.....Zel
Perfect analogies!
I especially like the "visual" you created by reminding us of the beginning of Star Trek. Grrrreat! Thanks for sharing your insights! :-D
Wow..I had no idea the
Wow..I had no idea the number was that low - only 2% focus on what is going right. Just like Lyn - I love the way you tied in Star Trek. My husband and son both love that show; therefore I've seen it a lot because I like to spend time with them. You word picture with help me keep me seeing the negative things speeding past me.
To Bodly Go....
I loved your Enterprise analogy! It's a great visual for letting the negatives in life slip by barely noticed in a space full of them.
We are often exposed to hundreds more negative words and impressions in a day than positive ones, so keeping our focus on our destination, barely acknowledging the negatives, the world becomes much brighter and our goals more attainable!
Thanks for the great post and reminder Phil!
Brings Joy and Peace Into Every Breathe We Take!
Yes Dr. Phil, it is so important! For me it is everything. I see how my life radiates Love when I walk in it, focusing on the good and lovely things. It feels so good. Than we are fueled to shine our light for ALL to see... We have so much to be grateful for. Thank you for this beautiful article, just what I needed to bring more fruit to my wonderful day!
The Challenge of Focusing on the Positive
This has got to be one of the largest lessons in life for me! It's natural for me to think about the negative and I have had to switch gears all day in my brain to re-train the way I have programmed my brain to think. This message is so true and good things come to those who cling to what is good and literally choose to think about all the wonderful things that are around rather than what is lacking. ~Sabrina
WOW!
Great article... I loved it.. Focus on what's right
Positive Thoughts = Positive Words = Positive Actions
Right on Dr. Phil, we always need to keep a Positive Mindset. People go only to places they have already been in their minds so Watch your thoughts, for they become your Words. Choose your Words, for they become your Actions.
Great article Dr. Phil, and
Great article Dr. Phil, and it is so true! Thats why we must focus on the positives because our mind controls our outcome. So thats why we must know WHAT we are thinking at all times.
Positive Personal Development.
Hey Doc Phil, I think you have focused your thoughts and have hit the nail right on the head. Great job of sharing those thoughts too.
