"What you think about expands. If your thoughts are centered on what's missing, then what's missing, by definition, will have to expand." This was a piece of wisdom in the book, Everyday Wisdom by Wayne Dyer that I read today.
It's true. If you constantly focus on what's missing in your life, what's wrong with it, or what's wrong with the people in your life. You're going to miss out on what you do have, notice all the things wrong, and put strain on your relationships. Life is not perfect. No person is perfect. Your spouse is not perfect. Your kids and parents are not perfect. Your friends are not perfect. Your boss is not perfect. You are not perfect. Don't spend time on what's wrong or missing. Focus on what's right. Focus on the things you do like about people. You did like something about them or you wouldn't have gotten into a relationship with them.
When we focus on the good, we will see more good things happen. When we focus on other people's goodness, we will see more of it and we will allow them to relax and be happier. Spending time looking at the good is a good use of our time and energy. It also allows us to relax when we can be happy with life just the way it is and with those around us just as they are. And relaxing is always good for our health.
Action
Relax and let people be. Enjoy today without thinking about what's missing or how it can be better. Just one day and see what happens. Enjoy!
