I keep hearing what you don’t want…

You find things in life that energize you and things that you want to do.  Then, there are those things that weigh you down and you don’t want to do.  Sometimes, it is a lot easier to figure out what you don’t want to do.  It gets real easy to “I don’t like this” and “I don’t like that.”  What that doesn’t do is direct energy to what we do want in our life.  It is good to eliminate some things.  The problem comes when we focus only on what we don’t want.

I had a mentor who once told me, “Ben, I keep hearing what you don’t want.  What is it that you do want?”  It came across so abruptly and forcefully, it shook me for a second and has stuck with me years later.  Focus on what you do want to guide you to where you want to be.  And, like a smart missile, keep making course corrections along the way as you learn more about what you want specifically.  Remember what Tony Robbins says, “where your focus goes, your energy flows.”  Direct your energy to what you want.
