Are you transmitting the right messages?

Are you transmitting the right message to the world?

What you look for in life is what you get. But you will only get the things that you want by sending out the right message too.

Many people miss the opportunities that drift past us all the time in life, often every day. Simply because they are not looking for them, and even if they are, they are not transmitting the right messages to attract those opportunities to stop by.

When we are buying a new thing, say a blue car of a particular manufacturer, it is amazing how many more of those exact cars we see, and in the same colour. That is part of the equation. If I ask you to focus on the colour red for a minute and then look up. You will immediately notice the red things around you first.

The other part of the equation, once you look for the right things, you will realise that others do not know what we are looking for or want, unless we tell them in a clear, genuine and inspiring way.

You need to look for what you want, and tell others what you are looking for. That way, you will bring a whole host of the right opportunities for you, to you.

A bad choice

Is there such a thing?

We often hear people say ‘she made a bad choice’ or ‘that was a really bad decision’.

These statements are always made with hindsight and they are often made by others in a critical way. Although, we do say to ourselves ‘I made a bad choice’.

What purpose does it serve to point that out to others or to ourselves? No purpose at all, it will never make us feel good.

We are conditioned to catch others or ourselves doing something wrong. Parents, teachers, employers, the system, and ourselves, seemed to be focussed on wrong decisions. It is all about control, another thing that we seemed to be obsessed with.

Why do we not talk so much about good choices, ‘I made a great choice there’ and celebrate it?

The ‘bad choice’ wasn’t a bad one at the time we made it. No one sets out in the day to mess things up. Every choice that we make, at that moment in time, was the only choice we would have made. Even if we had time machines to go back, which we don’t, yet, we would still make the same choice. That’s because all the choices we make are based on our current mindset, our experience/knowledge up to that point in our lives.

So no point in even dwelling on bad outcomes of choices we made, or listening to the criticism from others. We could just focus instead on celebrating the good choices and realising that we have now and the future to learn from all our choices.

It is all a matter of choice, and once you know the outcome that suits you and your life, then we know the choice to make for our lives. As a ‘bad choice’ is a question of perspective and it’s the outcome we wanted that matters, not the thoughts of the critics.
