You decide how you want to focus your life. You decide where you want to focus your attention. You have that power. You can make today what you want it to be by controlling your mind. You do it by managing your thoughts. You do it through awareness. You become aware by practicing the pause, following your breath, feeling your heartbeat.
No matter what is happening, you can choose the focus of your attention. You decide. You are that powerful!
Where and how you choose to focus your mind affects you. You can choose peace and ease, or frustration and rage. You can choose to be curious and kind, or judgmental and condescending. You can choose calm or agitated. Each choice produces a result in you first. That is what you carry.
What you carry also impacts your family, your community and the universe. Because what you carry doesn’t stay within you. It doesn’t stop at your skin. Your choice about what you carry matters in the world.
So, how will you use your power today?
Good question.
