Complaining about, fearing, or fighting something that we don’t like is the painful, slow way. Such focus only strengthens it.
Focusing on what we do like is similar. The more attention we give, the more it will grow.
As counterintuitive as it seems, our best way is to leave alone what we don’t like, to refuse to give it our energy, to take no notice, to render it irrelevant. And then to dedicate ourselves to building more and more of what we do want.
Powerful? Yes, we are.
In your corner,
Mike
PS: Tip: shut off Constantly Negative News (CNN) and the like. Find and engage with, instead, people who are already building something wonderful in the community, city, market, country, or world.
