Two thousand years ago there was an instruction given that, paraphrased, goes like this; Whatever things are true, just, pure, lovely and of good report - if there is any virtue or praise - think on these things.

What we focus on expands and our choices emphasize the Law of Attraction.

Choose the freedom, the passion, the joy, the happiness in every moment. Play the "Glad Game" as Hayley Mills shared in Pollyanna. I still remember the feeling when she said that she had received a pair of crutches instead of the dolly she asked for and the thing to be glad about was "she didn't need them". How much freedom would ther

Recently Google had featured an article entitled "How to Maintain Romance" and it occurred to me that idea behind a maintenance program (I used to be a Copier Technician and our maintenance contract was to make sure that the customer's machine would continue to work efficiently) is often viewed as standing still in life. To maintain literally means "to protect from harm, loss, decay or destruction". That takes me to the adage "if you're not moving forward you're standing still". It begs the question, "Why would anyone want to maintain a romance?"

In football the strategy of "prevent defense" is an offensive formation to prevent long gains by the offense and usually near the end of the game. It is geared toward stopping the other team's pass. Any game that I've seen where that strategy was employed by a team - you knew that same team was likely to lose. I've never seen it work to the defense's advantage. They wanted to make sure that they didn't lose their advantage, they had the lead and they didn't want to loose it.

"To keep from losing, no matter what the premise is," is a great way to make sure you do lose. Nothing in nature is static. It's all energy and it all is either growing or it's dying - it will never stand still. Even the universe according to Hubble's Law is constantly expanding. Those galaxies that are furthest away from us (and our gravitational pull) are moving away with space, not through space. There's a great analogy in baking raisin bread, as the dough rises the raisins move farther apart moving with not through the dough. There is no edge to the universe.

Look at today's headlines and see what we are thinking about;

• Highway Kidnapping: 40 Iraqui Shiites Snatched
• Northe korea ready to talk, no yeild
• Heckler Subdued At Virginia Senate Event
• US Economy: Consumers, Business Are Less Optimistic
• And the list goes on ...

Observe the results that those same thoughts - those same focus points - are bringing us. How does it make you feel when you read those statements?

Back in 1983 there was a popular song on both the Pop and Country charts entitled A Little Good News performed by Anne Murray. Part of the Lyrics included the lines, “How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair, And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care…” How would it feel if we focused on the good news, the solutions, instead of the problems?

Consider the choice of always expanding the things that you DO want, an alive, passionate, vibrant romance, a winning gold medal performance, the energy to play with your grandchildren, to feel alive and vibrant, to see clearly the choices in front of you, to have the business that provides quality products and/or services. That's where you focus.
