When we focus on all the reasons why we believe something won’t work, we are creating a buffer to protect our ego. If we have low expectations, then when we fail, we won’t feel disappointed. The funny thing is, we put all our effort and energy into the outcome we don’t want, rather what we do want.
Whether we are conscious of it or not, what we believe about ourselves, and our situations determine the results we get in our life. Our focus becomes our reality. If we focus on all that can go wrong, guess what? A lot of things are going to go wrong. Our brains will actually look for it. In an older post, I talked about the science behind the law of attraction.
If you focus on all that can go wrong, your brain will look for evidence and data that supports that belief. Our brains are always looking to validate and confirm what it believes. But the flipside is also true. If you start to focus on all that can go right, your brain will seek to validate that belief, too. And when you start to see where things can go right, you open your mind up to new opportunities you never knew existed.
