We get what we concentrate upon. But how do we get it? According to Jane Roberts, “You get what you concentrate upon.” That is, if you concentrate upon success, you will get success. If you concentrate upon hate, you will get hate. If you concentrate upon your life, you will get your life.

But what if we concentrate upon the wrong thing? What do we do to protect ourselves? What do we do to protect our minds?

Because of your intense concentration, be careful not to miss the wonder that is happening around you. Wonder is happening around you. Pay attention to it. Pay attention to love. Pay attention to happiness. Pay attention to other people. Above all, pay attention to yourself. But if you don’t concentrate on the right thing, you miss it.

If you want love to dominate your life, concentrate on love thoughts. If you want happiness to dominate your life, concentrate on happiness thoughts. You can find happiness right where you are just by paying attention. You can find love right where you are just by paying attention. Whatever you want in your life, pay attention to it.

But if you don’t pay attention to love, you miss love. And if you don’t pay attention to happiness, you miss happiness. And if you don’t pay attention to yourself, you miss yourself. What are you concentrating upon?

Success Rests On Small Things

General Colin powell writes, “Success ultimately rests on small things, lots of small things.” That is, if you want to be successful in your life, do not ignore the little guys.

Success comes from doing the little things really well. It is the key to mastery.

Success comes from mastering the fundamentals. Life is about fundamentals. It can make or break you.

If you are not successful, check how you treat the little guys in your life. The little things matter. Pay attention to them. They are what you need to get to the next level. Without them, you are not going anywhere.

“Success is not inevitable; it is within your reach.”

Success is achievable. But you cannot get there without encountering setbacks. Do not worry about your setbacks. They are a part of life. If you do not have setbacks in your life, you are not living your true life. You are not creating what you were born to create.

If you are not failing, if you are not falling, check your daily activities. Are they helping or hurting you? Are they serving or saving you?

If you want to be successful, you must pay attention to small things. Success is not inevitable. But it “rests on small things, lots of small things.”
