What you focus on expands

What you focus on expands

Like many parents, I was telling my son “just focus...” as he struggled with a math problem.

Focus. That defines a World Champion. Spend even a minute with our amazing ONE athletes and you’ll discover they have focused their entire life to get to the pinnacle of competition in ONE.

Whether it’s good or bad in life or business I’ve found that focus can let you get that “win” you need because most others are easily distracted. How often have you told yourself “I just need to prioritise and focus on this a little bit more”?

Conversely if you focus on something negative, something energy sucking - that negativity will expand. I’ve also made the mistake before of getting myself into a self defeating circle of focusing on negative thoughts and angry feelings. Consequently my focus on that caused negativity to grow. 

Whenever I feel stuck, I pause and ask myself what am I focusing on? Is it growing positivity or negativity. And I chase positivity.

What you focus on expands.

Focus equals determination, consistency, resilience and "sacrifice" that many are not willing to take. At least people can learn to focus on good thoughts, that's a start of general change.

Great reminder that we attract what we focus on. Focus on positivity and you attract positivity in your life.
