Your experience of life is determined by what you focus on.

There’s a very simple rule to life, and that is that whatever we focus on, that’s what we get more of in life.

Many people are not aware of this so they keep creating more of what they don’t want.

You get the experience you focus on, and each and every one of us are free to start telling ourselves a different story, to shift our focus, and to see things from a different angle, or from a higher perspective.

About conspiracy theories for example;

Yes, there are all kinds of horrible things going on in the world, but whatever information you’re consuming and reacting to, ask yourself what you will do with that information.

What can you use the information for?

Instead of getting caught up in the emotions of the conditioned self and then staying in that state (angry and upset), turn the experience to your advantage and move yourself to the next level of awareness.

Ask yourself what you’re going to do about it (the issues that you’re seeing in the world and that has caught your attention).

If there’s nothing you feel genuinely called to do, then maybe that’s not your true path, maybe you’re just caught up in the emotions of the false self.

Questions you can ask yourself:

Examine the actions you take, where you think you’re doing something good (and I’m not saying you aren’t):

• “How is this helpful?”
• “What is it actually doing?”
• “Is this moving the issue forwards, is it creating positive forward movement towards the solution?”
• “Is this what I want to create and be part of, or is there a better way?”

What you consume creates you.

We are always creating something, there’s always a momentum going in our lives, and when we are aware of that and understand that we can change that momentum, then we become powerful in positive ways.

If a person does not understand this, they feel (and behave) like victims, and have the belief that the world is out to get them.

Become aware of what you allow into your consciousness and only engage in a vibration you want to be part of, and focus on the solution.

What concrete actions can you take to change whatever it is that you feel is wrong? (Posting, commenting, and arguing on Facebook does not count as “action”.)

For positive change we need to be focusing in the direction we want to go, not on the issue/problem itself.

• “Can I point a direct link between what I’m doing, and an actual solution?”
• “Does what I do/share lead to something constructive?”
• “.. Or am I just shoveling shit around, having my ego feeling good for ‘doing something’, when all I’m actually ‘doing’, is to post and comment on things on Facebook?”

Read this article before you answer the last question: “Did They Actually Plant a Tree?”

It’s a very old post that I wrote nearly a decade ago but it’s still very relevant today.

• “What activities could I engage in instead that will actually make a difference in people’s lives?” Is there something else you could focus on that would be a more constructive and positive?

Align your actions with what you want, not with what you don’t want, because you will get what you focus on, and more and more of the same will come your way, you manifest it without awareness, and then that reality becomes your world and life.

Be vigilant with where you allow your mind to go, there’s many rabbit holes to fall into, so think about if it’s worth spending your life going there, wherever it may be.

Choose to go to a positive place with everything and take action from that state, or of course you are also free to let your mind drift to conspiracies, but know that if you do, then you will create more of that in your reality.

But if you decide to focus on something else, then that something else will start to build momentum in your life instead.

Shift your focus and your life will change too.

When you shift your focus away from fear-based thinking, you will hear things like ‘you’re selfish’, and that you don’t care about the world and other people.

“You should care about this! Be upset about it! Angry! Worried! Like I am!”

And if you’re not, then you’re being called selfish and other things.

Here’s a couple of very old articles where I share about an experience I had with some people:

“The Ego Needs Fear In Order To Live”

“How To Deal With Challenging Ego’s“

We are free to CHOOSE. That’s what free will is about.

And it’s not about looking away, there’s horrible things going on in the world, we all know that, but this is about focusing your energy and efforts to create change in a positive direction by using the information you have received in ways that are empowering and uplifting.

You’re not actually thinking when your thinking is based in fear, anger, suspicion, resentment etc, and bickering on social media about everything, arguing in the comments etc, that doesn’t lead to anything positive at all.

What happens is that others of the same energy vibration gravitates towards you and you towards them (energy attracts), and then you create this own little world where you all live and talk and are upset about things, but no one is actually doing anything constructive to create actual change.

This goes with everything; this coming together energetically happens in all kinds of groups of people.

If you’re into football, or german shapards, babies, real estate, religion, traveling, or whatever it may be, you will gravitate towards others that has the same interest, and then you’ll create a world of That together, whether it’s good or bad.

We’re all just living in different clusters, or groups (levels) of consciousness, where we believe similar things and think in similar ways, and then our world resolves around those things and interests.

They are all just different ‘realities’ which we can tune into (and out of) at any moment;

We’re always in alignment with a particular kind of reality, but we’re also always at choice to choose a different direction and focus if we want to.

In reality we are all unconditioned consciousness, and when we are aware of this, then we can shift into different realities that are more enjoyable, fulfilling and life-affirming.

We can change.

We can shift our perspective, we can do the inner work that helps us get a higher level of self-awareness, and we can start focusing in more positive directions instead of seeing everything through negative lenses.

If you think that the world is out to get you, then that will be your experience of life, it’s that simple.

And I’m aware that there are dark and sinister things happening in the world, and sure, some of the conspiracy theories might very well be true, but it doesn’t help one bit to be focusing on those things, or in those directions, unless your intention is to do something about it.

When people get together and create the realities they create, then of course if it has a strong energetic momentum, then of course we see it, we become aware of it, but that doesn’t mean we have to engage in it, or be drawn into it.

Unless you feel genuinely called to do something, but then you would take the actions towards the solution from a deeper place in your soul, and not from a reactive and fear-based ego perspective.

People who have fear-based belief systems will see conspiracies everywhere, and they’ll experience the result of that, because that’s where they look, that’s where their focus is.

We can observe, we can be aware of something without letting it affect us in negative ways.

If you’re meant to do something about it, then your inner being will let you know, and if that’s not your ‘fight to fight’, then take your attention off of it.

Everything is our choice, so choose the life you want to live.

All change comes from within ourselves, and when you change on the inside, the outside changes too, and whatever we keep our attention and focus on, will always keep growing too.

Why not focus on the Light within you instead, and in that way ‘fight’ the darkness in the world, letting the Light grow, rather than the anger and the fear?

Life is all consciousness and energy, so don’t let anything outside of you control you, or dictate how you should feel. Care about how you feel (because that’s the vibration you emit to the universe).

You can look at something, observe something, and then decide to be for something rather than against it.

You’ve read about something that upsets you, OK, now you know that that’s happening, but instead of staying in that state of rage and anger, ask yourself what you can do; what can you do to help/create change?

That’s my point with this article. How can you be part of the solution?

Maybe you can start an organization (the world needs new, aligned leaders, maybe you can be one of them), or join one that is actively doing things to create actual change (in positive ways), or you could create a fundraising to help/support a cause, or maybe you can get involved in changing the laws, helping people recover and heal, creating a Podcast or blog, or whatever – There’s a lot of things you can do.

Something other than being upset and posting, commenting, and being angry on Facebook.

We get what we’re in alignment with, and you might think you’re in alignment with positive things, but are you, really?

If you’re angry, worried, hateful, or always upset about this and that, then you’re in alignment with the false self, but if you can look at those same things and you start changing your emotional response to them, then you’re shifting to a higher vibration, and the actual solutions too.

There’s two approaches to the same issue; you can be for, or you can be against something.

Be for peace, rather than against war, for example. Focus in either way and the other way will fade and not be part of your life experience anymore.

Don’t let the outside world take you over in negative ways and consume you. Drown it out, stop adding momentum to it.

You keep the old vibration alive by the way you are feeling. Meaning; how you’re reacting and responding to what is happening, that’s your contribution to the creation (manifestation process).

When we’re focused upon the thing that is causing the fear or anger or resentment or whatever it is, then the universe brings us more evidence, more conversations with others, and more mental images of gloom and doom that are not serving us at all.

Our perspective is what makes us feel safe, not safe, scared, at peace, etc, so don’t let what you’re observing be in charge of who you should feel.

What you include in your life becomes part of your life.

It’s very simple. Again, we get the experiences we focus on.

We are not taught early in life to take charge of our minds and our energetic health, we let all kinds of things in without being aware of what it’s doing to us, or even that we’re doing it!

But every moment is fresh, there is only one continuous Now, and wherever you want to break through to a different level of awareness and consciousness, you can do it Now.

Get a new momentum going, it’s your choice, and the choice you make will change the trajectory of your life. You can start channeling your energy in positive ways that are actually helpful.

One way to do this could be to take a week off of everything related to social media and the news etc and start listening to your own thoughts in that time. Form your own thoughts.

Let go of distractions and outer influences for a while and see what your Soul has to say about everything instead.

Or, look at what is, continue to focus on that, and you get more of what already is, but you can also start focusing on what you want and prefer, and then what you want and prefer will become your reality instead.

The most powerful thing you can do to change the world is to change your own beliefs about life, people, yourself, and reality, and begin to act and think accordingly – In alignment with the Truth of your being.

Then those vibrations are going to turn to manifestations for you, when you stop focusing on the things that makes you feel angry, and you start to focus on the Light within you instead.

We can activate a different vibration.

The experience of life that we have is only kept alive by the beliefs we hold. Your belief might be that you think you’re powerless for example, but of course you’re not, that’s just a belief.

There’s always something you can do, but many people don’t know what to do with their thoughts, we never learned to be in charge of ourselves, so this is not a common awareness people have.

The mind is in charge and dictates most people’s lives when it should be the other way around.

So catch yourself when you’re about to get caught up in negative emotions when you see something that upsets you, and stop giving your attention to them.

When you catch yourself going in a negative direction you can shift your thinking and start focusing on what you want instead.

Whichever way you go, you will be supported by the universe, so why not choose that which is empowering, inspiring, uplifting and helpful?

Become aware of what you’re thinking. And feeling. Become aware of the mental and emotional activity within yourself.

We don’t have to get caught up in the negative emotions, we can also just have the awareness and observe what’s happening and then making a decision about it internally in a different way, a way that makes us feel lighter and more empowered.

You CAN do something about whatever it is that you see is wrong with or in the world, but you can do it from a place of being in control of your emotional and mental responses.

Whistleblowers are good, we need them, but we don’t need millions of them.

There’s enough people in this world who are being upset and angry about things, so what we need is more action-takers. People who take action from a place of alignment.

When you change and become balanced and aligned on the inside, everything around you is influenced by that, and then your presence will affect others and the world in positive ways.

So my point with all this is this:

OK, so it has come to your awareness that bad things are happening in the world. Good, now you have the awareness.

Do you feel called to do something about it? If not, then don’t focus in that direction anymore.

If you do feel called to do something, then start focusing in the direction of the solutions; take action and do something constructive that is helpful to the cause that you feel called to support.

Be for something rather than against it. Be for the Light rather than rallying against the Darkness.

Have a vision for the future that is not based in doom and gloom. Believe in good things, believe that positive change is possible.

We are always believing in something, so why not believe in and support things that are bright, uplifting, and positive?

True thinking is without fear. It’s balanced, harmonious, and solution-oriented.

What is the world you want to create and live in? What’s the vision you have for the world? Where do you want to see things going? What would the ideal be and look like?

Start creating and forming That. Focus on what you want to Build, and step back from the noise.

You can start making a different kind of noise by doing something great with yourself and your life, and then people will listen to you more too.
