Magnify

I have a mentor who always says, “What you focus on expands.” This is great if it is a positive loving focus but, that is not the one that kicks my butt.

The one that gets my day all messed up is when I get in a negative mindset. When I judge a person, place or thing I am not coming from love and it drops my energy level down more than I care to think about. It takes more energy to be negative than positive. Many times a day I now stop and ask myself, “What were you just thinking about, was it uplifting or tearing something or someone down. “

I had another mentor who would say “Are you lifting or leaning today.” Every day I try to lift but in human form that is not always going to be the case. I am going to forget that God only wants the best for me and is going to put in front of me his will at every moment. My job is to stay in the moment and recognize these opportunities.

I do this by daily writing 5 things I am grateful for. I never write the same one during the week but sometimes it has to be something as simple as “I breathed today.” Most of the time it is the joy of all the people, places and things that God has put in my life at this time. This helps me find the good in any day. Especially those times that feel harder than others.

By focusing on where my attention is I can catch myself dwelling on something negative faster than I use to. I can then stop and redirect my focus to the good that is always around me. A simple mind shift changes my day, my life and the people I meet at this moment. I can now uplift people instead of lean on them. This way my spirit blesses others and I am doing God’s will.

I magnify love. I am changed for the better. Go God
