What You Focus on Grows

What You Focus on Grows

As individuals, us humans all look through different lenses

The glass of our lenses is shaped by our life experiences. 

Year to year, day to day, moment to moment.

The lenses almost act as a filter, and- 

Have us start making assumptions about things, and-

Projecting a story on it, and-

Not really looking at it for what it is, but-

For what we think it is.

I want to show you something, but-

Before I show you I need you to do something- just.

Take 

your glasses 

off.

What I am about to share, I want-

You to hear it for what it is, I want-

You to see it for what it is, I want-

You to feel, it for what it is.

You to absorb, learn, grow, 

visualize. 

Okay.

Did you take your glasses off?

Water is to seeds as your attention is to thoughts.

Seeds is to plants as thoughts are to current state.

Every drop of water

Helps the plant grow. 

It feeds it, nourishes it, supports it, gives it life.

Every time, you place your attention on a negative thought,

It helps it grow.

It feeds the negativity, nourishes it, supports it, gives it life.

Some seeds turn into weeds Some into Lilacs

Some seeds turn into depression Some into happiness

As the Gardener, you have the power of nourishment and life in, your, watering can.

As the Gardener, you have to ability to choose what you would like to water.

What you would like to help grow.

Whether you want to bring invasive weeds to life, or help the beauty flourishes as great as it can.

Here’s the challenge…

As humans we don’t realize that we have that power We don’t realize that our attention is an energy that feeds thoughts Which feed our current state of being.

Since there is a lack of awareness around this we as Gardeners of our own thought garden,

Water anything that comes up.

In other words, we give attention to whatever comes up.

We are not selective about what we feed, nourish, support, and give life to.

A lot of us don’t realize this

We don’t realize that our attention on certain kinds of thoughts influences our being, our current state, our overall quality of life.

That awareness has not been encrypted in the general prescription of our lenses.

Now that you might be hearing this, might be realizing this, 

Let me tell you something

Gardener 

to Gardener

There are two types of thought seeds

Light

and Dark

The Light seeds, are of gratitude, opportunity, potential, belief.

The Dark seeds, are of worry, doubt, judgement, hate. 

It’s okay to have Dark seeds arrive at the gate of your garden.

It’s okay to have negative thoughts (seeds) pop up in your head...

But.

It is all about where your attention goes

About which seeds (thoughts) you choose to water.

So now when you do have a negative thought cross your mind, remember this.

Take the seconds to make the choice, if you wish to place your attention on the Dark, if you wish to engage in it Feed it, nourish it, support it, and give it life.

If you are a human that is more likely to engage and nourish the Dark seeds

Then think of a way to plant, nourish, and bring to life more Light ones.

So, my Gardener.

Now that you have heard all of this

and 

Absorbed all of this,

I wish for you 

that today will act as Miracle Grow for your awareness towards your internal world

Influencing your thoughts, experiences, and relationship to everything around you.

You may now put your glasses back on

How do you wish to move forward with your garden?
