Refocus

What is it within us that cause us to see only what we are looking for? It amazes me that we, human beings, have not for the most part learned the fascinating power of "refocus" and what that allows us to do for ourselves in any given moment!
When we have ordained that things happen a certain way, when we have a strangle hold on what we believe should happen in our lives and we are leaning our whole being into making that happen...things begin to do what we call "fall apart." Isn't this only a perception of one possibility of what is happening? If we have not trained ourselves to refocus and see that there are a million possibilities that lie beyond the one we have our sights on, we then begin to fall apart ourselves. We lock our thoughts and focus on "falling apart" instead of breaking this strange vortex of energy, refocusing on the "other" multitude of possibilities at hand.
I ask you, next time this begins to happen to you, catch yourself. Refocus. Ask yourself why these seem stumbling blocks cannot be fashioned into a path that is leading you to a better place, a grander outcome. Just because it is different from the concrete image in your mind and is not unfolding just as you decided it should, can it not be better. If you can train yourself to let go of your control on the situation, you will see that these blocks are actually arranging themselves into a path that is far beyond what you expected...and it changes the tide of destiny in an instant. The instant that you allow yourself to have more than one view of the situation!
