What You Look For, You Find.
There are very few things I know to be true in this life, but one of those things I know for absolutely sure beyond a shadow of a doubt is that:
what you look for, you find.
Meaning, when you start to focus on something, you suddenly start seeing it everywhere. The more you see it, the more you notice it, the more you notice it, the more it seems to show up in your life and awareness.
Like when your uncle Larry gets a red Mazda Miata (because he’s totally having a mid-life crisis) and you suddenly start seeing red Miata’s everywhere. Or when you notice a certain time on the clock, and then it seems like every time you look at a clock it says that same freakin’ time again.
Many people know this principle, they see that it does indeed seem to work that way, and then attempt to use it to bring things they’re looking for, into their lives. Makes sense and sounds easy enough, right?
Welp… there’s just one caveat.
The big stinking twist of the whole thing is that we tend to THINK we’re looking for one thing, when in reality we are totally unaware that we’re actually looking for something else. In fact, usually, we’re looking for the exact OPPOSITE of the thing we say we’re wanting.
