Attention Equals Love

This is pretty obvious once you see the title, we all know that attention equals love. Sometimes we are just unaware with what our attention (love) is at most. Attention on anything is no different than focusing on something. What you focus on grows, and whatever you put your attention to is just the same. Attention equals love because showing love to something is showing that you are interested, and to show that you are interested in something, attention is required.

Nothing can grow in your life that you don’t put the required attention to. Seeds need to be watered and nurtured consistently in order to grow into plants. Muscles need to be exercised on a consistent schedule in order to grow stronger. Goals must be first of all remembered and the required action must be in place consistently in order to achieve them. Your mate in a relationship must see your consistent attention (love) in order for them to continue to be with you while also having a great relationship. We need food and liquid consistently in order to live. Each of these examples show that life is consistent. You don’t live it by doing something once to get consistent results. You have to put in consistent attention and action on what you want in order for it to be maintained, or to see it grow. Look over the areas in your life to see what needs the attention that you haven’t given enough of. You should also see what you have given your attention to that you don’t want in your life. This is what many of us do. We put too much attention on the things that annoy us, or the things we hate. All of this complaining only strengthens our complaining. Don’t be in love with your misery. Stop pointing out what is undesirable to you, and start pointing out the things you like. Be interested in what you want. You don’t like bad news, nobody does. So stop watching the news, you don’t want to create similar situations in your life. So place your attention elsewhere and watch that particular area grow.

Think about this. Lets look at your thinking as if every single thought you think is considered money. So everything you think about, you are spending your money on. The thoughts we consistently think now, determine our future. Our future is very important to us all. If we are living in an undesirable situation no matter the condition, we have the future to rely on as hope. The future will be different than the present. The reason is because thoughts change. However, if you are consistently focused on the way life is for too long, and it is something that is undesirable, then you will just continue to recreate the same situation. “You get what you pay for”. In other words, the thoughts you think now determines what your future brings about. So it would be wise to bring your attention (love) to what you want in your life. Once you do this, you are actually investing in a new future. One thing you must know is that you can never receive something you don’t believe you can have, or you can never purchase something without buying it. So pay attention ;) I know you’ve heard that before, probably plenty of times in school. So from this point on, be aware of where your attention is mostly, because you are investing in your future whether you want it or not. Find out what you want in your life, then give your undivided attention. You get what you pay for.
