Focus!!!

My mind has been enlightened again and the answer has been there the whole time.  It's hard at times to be a "Spiritual Being" living here as "Human Beings".  We forget what we already know and have to be reminded again.  It happens .... in fact, it happens all the time and will continue to happen all the time so I am not going to let it get me down.  The reason I have been riding the "Crazy Train" is because I was FOCUSING on the things that confused me.  I was focusing on the things I feel I am lacking.  I have been focusing on the things that hurt me.  I have been focusing on the wrong things! DUH!!!

Don't get me wrong.  I have noticed the blessings, and the good things and even taken time to Thank Heavenly Father for them but then I went right back to focusing on the wrong things.  I think that is why my mind has been so confused.  I noticed and acknowledged the good but let my focus drift.  This morning before church my mind was enlightened with knowledge and it was reconfirmed again at church today.  (funny how that happens so often)  My focus needs to stay on the good things....sure I am going to notice the negative stuff and the things that cause me pain but I do not need to leave my focus there.  My focus needs to be on the Good Things happening, the Blessings.  It's funny because I even write down my blessings each day (or most days) and so I do notice them but they haven't been the things consuming and occupying my brain......They will be though.  My FOCUS has now made a turn....no longer will I Focus on the things that make me sad, or confused, or miserable....instead I will Focus on the things that bring be happiness, the things that make me smile, and things that help me feel the Spirit and HIS love.

I am a normal human being and so I know I am not the only one that goes through this.  This is life and I am learning.  I am learning the same things over and over again...and I suspect that is just life too.  I can accept that.  I am blessed.  I know that I am loved.  I can be happy right now....no matter the circumstances that surround me.  I need to remember where to FOCUS!!!
