I once heard this phrase long ago, and it has stuck with me over the years.

Many clients have asked me to clarify my meaning when I boldly pronounce: “I’m sorry. You just can’t get there from here.”

Most of our struggles emerge from how we focus our attention. Where attention flows, our energies will go. And thus, our lives now follow.
In prior articles, I have proffered the idea that we all have a superpower, which mostly goes unnoticed or ignored. That superpower is our capacity to choose what we focus upon.

In essence, it’s how we manage, or fail to manage, what gets our attention. Said differently, what do we focus on?

Not to be redundant, but please grasp this: What you or I consistently focus upon will ultimately create a heavenly or tormented life. It is our choice.
Most folks move through life following a conditioned mind, meaning that their brain is patterned in specific ways and repeats that pattern repeatedly, with little conscious choice about other options.

We did NOT program that conditioned mind; instead, it was programmed by parents, teachers, society, news, social media, etc. No evil intent is suggested here, but simply that most of us follow in the footsteps of our societal conditioning, whether we intend to or not. (Note: This is certainly not always true and is the reason for this article!)

Most of us seek something better. It’s just natural and part of life.

Whether we want our children to behave better, perform better, or simply be more........
