Is your filter clogged?

I watch a lot of sports news, I listen to a lot of sports radio.  Partly because I really love sports.  But mostly because unlike the regular news, which I never pay attention to, its mostly positive.  Yes there are times when there is content toward the negative side, but for the most part sports media is about what some did outstanding or what they achieved against the opposition.  It constantly reminds me of what we are capable of with the right attitude and if we push ourselves.

That's difficult for anybody though if your living on the wrong side of the Law of Attraction.  Its no new revelation that we are all influenced by what we surround ourselves with, that we can create our own negative or positive subliminal messaging with our environment. I think a large part of my handling the accident in such a strong way is the company I keep.  Having those that remind me of my faith, and point out the strengths in my life has been a true blessing.  Of course I could have just as easily surrounded my self with a pity parting and gone into self loathing if I had chosen too.  The key word being choice.

  I also believe if I choose to put a smile on my face, and choose to look at what I can accomplish instead of what is a struggle I help create that positive environment.  I don't know too many people that can get smiled at and reciprocate with a scowl.  It begins with us and what we choose to project, then our message is enforced with the company we keep.  I know there are times when you just get stuck with Eeyore.   But that's when we have to steup up and be the Tigger.  That's also when I use my filter.  We all have selective hearing, it's just a manner of how we use it and what we choose to absorb and reflect.  I literally just choose to tune out when somebody goes negative on me, it does me no good to internalize it.

Don't get me wrong I don't think we have to live in fantasy land.  I still think we can be real.  In fact I think Iam very real.  I also think there is a lot of good that can come out of struggles and adversity.  Purely in the common focal points of adversity making us stronger, the lesson's we learn from struggles, and how they can shape us as an individual.  Life isn't always meant to be easy, to be honest if it was it would be pretty boring. Without sour, sweet wouldn't be sweet. 

I thinks that's why I have decided to start a side career doing motivational speaking, to focus on my Law of Attraction.  With the struggles I now face I need to remind myself the blessings that can come of it.  I can use this mission to hold myself accountable and hopefully help some others remodel there circle of influence along the way.   With God's help I can have an impact on shaping the future outlook of others....as well as my own.
