Attracting Your Future Easily Through The Power Of Focus

It always inspires me to understand the common theme that exists between successful people. The way they think and act even when things are not going all their way. I found some comments made by Lewis Hamilton just before the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka which I would like to share with you, as they reflect perfectly the principle of 'focus on what you want.'


For those of you who don't know, Lewis Hamilton joined the ranks of Formula One in 2007 just before his 22nd birthday. He finished second in the championship that year, missing out by one point to Kimi Raikkonen. The following year he won the championship by the same margin over Felipe Massa.


Recently things have not been going so well for Lewis. He had a good start to the season, however he has failed to finish in three of the last four races and for the first time in his Formula One career, is experiencing real problems and inconsistency in his performance. He was interviewed by Kevin Eason for The Times newspaper about this very subject and this is what he said.  'I could drive around and not overtake anyone and just stay in position. That's easy enough but it's not for me. That definitely will not be happening. As soon as you put blockers on all your natural reactions, then something rotten happens. If you start thinking, 'I don't want to get the start wrong' - then, boom, you get the start wrong. 'Don't want to get caught up in the first corner.' Then, boom, you get caught in the first corner. You can't think like that. You have to go out and get on with it. Do what you do. There's going to be times when it doesn't work."


What Do Winners Do Differently?
Like all winners, Hamilton focuses on what he wants. It is not important that things can go wrong. That's life! What is important is how you handle it and what you are saying to yourself in your head.  The ability to bounce back and move on is the secret that all successful people have. Each has had to handle their fair share of adversity. Problems they had not anticipated that get in the way of their plans and aspirations. Their ability to move forward and focus on the things they want and that are important to them is why they go on and achieve all that they desire.


The law of attraction will help but you need to ask the right questions of it. Remember your unconscious mind does not do negatives, so If you are focused on not being in debt or not loosing a deal I'm afraid you will end up getting exactly what you don't want. If you focus on having great wealth, or making a making a great sale, or having perfect health or dare I say even having a perfect relationship, then the law of attraction will work in your favour . All you have to do is notice as things happen around you to set you on your way. The more you notice, then the more of the same you attract. Simple to say but it takes discipline and determination to achieve.


Sport is always a great place to get inspiration as all the successful sports people are truly focused. It is always inspirational to listen to them and hear their strategies for success.


So how can you help yourself achieve this mindset?
One of the key things is to created a solid goal to aim for.  A  goal with an achievable outcome is such an important area it is worth spending time refining your goals and setting out a clearly defined plan of action. This strategy allows you to notice specific successes on your journey to achieving your greater goal. A good starting point would be to follow the four simple processes that I have set out below.

1. Firstly think about what you really want
   
2. Write it down. Be specific and keep your language positive.
   
3. Read it aloud at least twice per day. Once at the start of the day and once just before you go to bed.
   
4. Notice as things happen around you to help you achieve your goals.
   
5. The last thing I would say is think about what you think about.  It makes a big difference.
