Oh, I was really supposed to read that

Earlier this week I read a word from Dr. Cindy Trimm on being focused. Well let’s say I glanced over it. This afternoon, I logged on to a group I’m a member of and low and behold, the same article was posted. OK God, got it! LOL!

Here’s what Dr. Trimm had to say:

People who focus on what they want get exactly what they want. People who focus on problems, hurdles, walls and obstacles will go through life with problems, hurdles, walls and obstacles. It’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened to you in the past that determines who you become. Rather, it is your focus upon it. It is the meaning and significance that you give to every occurrence that determines its weight and effect upon your life.

Focus on Your Dreams, Goals and Vision

Whatever you focus on today, you give that thing permission to exist tomorrow. Focus on your dreams, goals and vision. Focus on where you want to be, not where you came from. Focus on what you expect to acquire and what you wish to do, and not on what you do not have or what you have not done. Focus on your healing and not your sickness. Focus on your deliverance and not your detrimental situations. Focus on what remains and not what you have lost. Focus on wearing that size 7 skinny jeans and not on how much weight you have gained.

This is wisdom I needed to be reminded of now that I’ve left the tarmac! Some things are not worthy of the spent brain matter I’ve given them. The words…whatever you focus on today, you give that thing permission to exist tomorrow spoke to me. I’m focused on God’s end result. Even when there’s turbulence, I remain focused.

Amen.
