Positive thinking only gets you so far in life. Find out why T. Harv Eker encourages positive focus as the method to get what you want in life.<\/p>\n

It’s one thing to say we make an effort to focus on the positive or to think positively. It’s another thing entirely to actually do it. In fact, most people do the opposite\u2014they focus on the negative or spend their time on negative thinking. We\u2019ve all done it at one time or another, so we can\u2019t be too hard on anyone. But we can\u2019t just let this slip into one of those concepts we take for granted, either.<\/p>\n
Positivity is one of the greatest secrets to both happiness and success. You\u2019ve heard it 100 times; you just have to follow through. Eventually, focusing on the positive has to become part of what you naturally and effortlessly do.<\/p>\n
Remember, we want to work toward positive focus, not positive thinking. So, what\u2019s the difference?<\/p>\n
Positive thinking<\/strong> doesn\u2019t acknowledge a \u201cnegative\u201d reality. It kind of glosses over things. You can focus on finding more opportunities to make money, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that you have to eat now. You can’t change a car accident by thinking, \u201cIf I drive away, maybe nobody will notice.\u201d Positive thinking doesn\u2019t always account for personal responsibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n Positive focus<\/strong> means looking at the now and getting the most out of it. It means understanding that the now will affect a later future. It also acknowledges the law of duality: that there must be both a positive and a negative side to everything.<\/p>\n So, by understanding the law of duality, you now have a choice to make in your every day life. Most people spend their day thinking and talking about what they don\u2019t want in life. We hear people say, “I don\u2019t like this. This isn\u2019t going right. This is a problem.” Well, guess what? With that type of negative thinking and focus, you’re only going to get more of what you don’t want. What you spend your time focusing on expands!<\/strong> Your attention has created your reality, and reality really is what you make it.<\/p>\nFocus on what you want, not what you don\u2019t want<\/h3>\n
