Today I would like to share a quote with you that I wrote down a while ago, which is: “We tend to miss what we are not looking for."
Personally I really like this quote and also I find the opposite also to be very true. We tend to see what we ARE looking for.
I notice this for instance when I think about buying a specific gadget or type of shoe. Suddenly I see it everywhere. It’s like everybody was thinking the same thing.
Another example is when we hear some bad stories about someone, we’re likely interpret their actions in a negative way. While actually they have good intentions.
We’ll be looking for things that reinforce our negative view. This means we’ll miss the good things and that is a shame. It feels much nicer to look at things in a positive way :-)
My takeaway is that although it is not always easy, it’s our own responsibility to see the good things about someone or about life in general and it is not their job to show us.
So, be aware of what you are looking for, because that is exactly what you’ll get and you’ll miss out on what you didn’t look for :-)
Cheers!

Lekker bezig! Liking the quote, I have to think about the 'DONT think about the purple aligator' and immediately you see it, while before this sentence you wouldnt even have noticed it :)

Totally agreeing with this! Nice stuff :) I used to be super negative and all I looked for were negatives. I think it comes a lot from our upbringing and what we're taught as we mature. Then once someone introduces a more positive paradigm in our lives it's easier to try and focus on the beauty of life.

Thanks and I agree. We're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. If some of them are very negative, we'll likely to be more negative as well.
Sounds like you've made some nice steps!

Putting pressure on the universe should always be done with positivity and for our higher purpose. I believe it doesn't recognise 'I don't want this', so always be positive with your intentions, because you will be brought what you don't want. Try to strengthen your minds positivity and forget donts and nots. Thanks for the post, very nice.
