Wow ALG, those last two posts of yours really hit home with me and you really got me thinking.

Their is a lot to absorb from your posts but the main thing that jumped out at me was where you said:

The very fact that you're focusing your attention on positive things means that you're not focusing your attention on negative things. This is an example of conscious filtering.
So, if you focus on the positive things in your life...
  • you'll notice even more positive and less negative things

  • you'll feel better and you'll be happier

  • you'll focus on doing more positive things because it makes you feel better and happier

  • you'll be more aware of different steps you need to take to get even more of these positive results.

Which to me is a great way to go about reaching whatever goals you have in life.

Man, I hope this all makes sense

Thanks for the great info ALG!
