Your World Is Bigger Than You Think
I'll admit it. I've always had more of "glass-half-empty" view of life than I would like.

So I've been doing an experiment that I described starting last week. I've been making a point of writing down every instance of me solving a problem or of me having money drop into my lap. I'm trying to reprogram my negative thinking away from a "things always fall short of my hopes" way of thinking and into a more positive one.

The results have been amazing! When I write all these things down instead of passing over them, I find a whole lot more positives than I ever allowed myself to see before.

It leads me to the conclusion that my world is a whole lot bigger than I've allowed myself to have.

It's like when my kids were little. They'd draw my attention to sounds—like birds singing—that I had tuned out with all the background noise. I think we often do the same thing with other parts of our world, too.

We get used to seeing things a certain way (in may case, seeing setbacks and shortages) and view life through that filter. Things that don't fit with that world view, we filter out. And, in doing so, we rob ourselves of a big part of what's really going on around us.

Try that same exercise for a week or, better yet, for a month and see for yourself what good things you've been tuning out.

Or check out the course from which I got this exercise, BANABU. I've found it a goldmine with plenty of treasures like this for developing a clearer view of my world. Whether you've already enjoyed success or are still struggling to find it, BANABU is a great help in strengthening your success mindset. And it's fun to see what good things you've learned to tune out.
