Attention shift.

“Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.” ~ Og Mandino; American author.

What most people do is count their miseries, their debts, their troubles; however, this, in reality, does not solve anything but it adds to the stress and worry in their minds, this subsequently attracts more problems into their lives, their physiology gets affected as well and sickness follows.

When you allow your attention to stay on things that stress you or worry you, then you create an eddy of negative energy which can only attract more negative energy in the form of more problems.

Of course, this divine process of creation acts in the realm of reality, the invisible and eternal which your mortal mind is not allowed to actually see; but you should recognize it nonetheless, as it fuels every thought and every event in your life.

By seeing the blessings you already have, you allow your attention to focus on the present moment and upon something which is real and pleasant to you, then your mind frees itself, your heart expands, and energy flows without blockages from negativity.

And, no matter who you are, and if you are rich or poor, there are always blessings to count–i.e., the clothes you have on, the food you have for today, what you are reading, the health you have, the people around you that truly love you, the fact that you have a healthy mind and can then work on a better future, etc. etc.

Don’t be a fool. Use a higher mind and analyze all that which you have to be grateful in your life.
