And it is very easy to get stuck down a rabbit hole with these posts. You see something that mild interested you – a few minutes later you are watching some kid bite his brothers finger.

Each loss of focus on one of these rabbit holes takes you out of your own mind, your own head, your own goals, and your own focus.

Staying in your own moment is how you get ahead – by focusing all your energy, focus, and attention on getting yourself ahead in the world. When your attention dwindles and goes someplace else – that is when you start dropping energy, focus, and ultimately – vibrations to get to where you want to go.

And maybe you are OK with that. Maybe you don’t have goals, or dreams, or a perfect life that you want to live. That is fine – to each their own.

Or maybe you are frustrated with your current state – wondering why you work so hard, drive your life forward, and can’t really show much for it. You are tired of being overweight. You are tired of not having enough wealth. You are tired of the same old shit in your life day in and day out.

If you are the latter – I urge you to focus on yourself. Focus on your own focus.

Focus on Focus

Life is such a wondrous adventure – if you treat it in the right way. Focusing on pig-headed discipline on your own life – your own goals – your own way of living is a powerful way to get your mind on the path to where you want to go. But as soon as we get sucked up into OPP (Other People’s Problems), we get distracted where we want to go. And every second distracted is a second off of your own life.

Yes – we should care about our fellow humans – that isn’t what I am saying here. If someone needs help, or someone to talk to, or someone to listen – be there. 100% of the time. The issue is when you scroll through Instagram – how many people do you give your attention to that really shouldn’t have it?

• Talking politics
• Complaining about life
• Yet another picture of a baby just sitting there
• Sharing another passive-aggressive article about the world in its current state

None of these serve you. None of these take YOU closer to where YOU want to go. They actually take you further from it. They send you into a state of negativity, where you focus on things that push you farther and farther away from your own true self. And when we talk about getting your vibrations as high as possible – that is living the life of your own true self – not the bull that goes on in the media (social or otherwise).

I know that is hard to do. We all are guilty of it. We all just need that little hit – that snip of something to cure our itch for media. That little glimpse of what others are going through to validate our own life through someone else. That’s all we want.

Or do we?

Your Life Vision

One of my main principles is to know what you want – go get what you want. As simple as it sounds, that truly is the basis for living the best life.

Know what you want – go get what you want.

Knowing what you want is what gets people. By focusing so much on what others are doing with their life, and trying to find validation for our own life through them, we get sucked down into the spiral of thinking what we want is what they have.

And that very well could be true. If you see something that someone else has and you say to yourself:

“that is nice – I’d like to have that someday”

Guess what – you can! But if you say to yourself:

“That is nice – how come he can afford that and I can’t? I make more money than him. Look at him putting his own ego ahead of his family and spending money on that thing instead of taking his family on a vacation or something. I want to do that – why can’t I do that? What am I doing wrong that he is doing right? I am better than him”.

This is the rabbit hole we need to get out of. And knowing your own life vision can help you do that.

Knowing what you want is actually a difficult task. It is what YOU want. How YOU want to live. How YOU want to be. Not because of the vision of someone else – but the vision of YOU. And that is why I have most people who are struggling with their life write a life vision. What is the highest version of yourself? In a perfect world – where politics, socioeconomic status, money, health, nothing really matters or is restrictive – who are you? What are you doing? How are you living?

Once you get this down – you can start on the path of living the best life. This puts your own personal vibrations – your own energy – on your own focus of your own life to live YOUR life to the best.

And that is what we are after aren’t we? To live a full life? I think so…

So how do we focus on ourselves? How do we start focusing on our own life vision and no one else? I am glad you asked.

5 Ways To Focus on Focus

1. If you haven’t already, write your life vision. Write down your highest version of yourself as you sit today. In a world where there is no friction, who are you? What are you doing? How are you living?
2. Restrict social media. I think too many people say to stop social media altogether, but that is like telling an alcoholic just to stop drinking altogether. When you are so conditioned to do something and you try to quit cold turkey – it isn’t good. So restrict it. Limit it. Don’t check it first thing in the morning. Make a habit of checking only AFTER a certain time in the morning. And no checking after 8p (that is when the complainers come out anyway). And create a “let it be” attitude. When you do check it – if you find yourself getting worked up over a post, tell yourself “Let it be. That doesn’t help me” and move on.
3. Meditate. My answer to everything is to meditate. Meditation slows your mind and lets you be in control of your thoughts. Read your life vision, and meditate for 10 – 20 minutes. Let your mind marinate on the idea of living your best vision.
4. Slow down. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Your perfect life won’t be here overnight. Part of the practice is the journey. Stop rushing through life just to get to the end (you die anyways). Slow down, enjoy moments in your life.
5. Surrender. Know this is working. Know that no matter what others are doing, it is for them. You are focused on your life and you are letting whatever higher power you believe in move you through life towards your best left. Let people do other people. You do you – and you do you the best you you can do.

Once you get the hang of focusing on yourself, your own dreams, your own life, it becomes liberating. You truly stop caring what the worlds think, and that is an empowering feeling to know you are in control of your own life, your own destiny, and you can have anything and everything that you want in life. But you have to focus on focus first.

Sadly – these are not words associated in the world of law of attraction, higher vibrations, manifestation, or anything else in this realm of having everything you want in life.

And to me – this is a big miss.

Yes – your mind, your thoughts, your entire world – manifest itself for you, not to you. Anyone and everyone has a piece of our beautiful creator within their soul, and we are one with the maker – and that should drive all of us to consciously (and subconsciously) watch the thoughts and energy we put out in life.

I believe this to my core. And in the world where the science of epigenetic, energy, and quantum physics are finally catching up with the hippies that have believed this since the beginning, I believe that the world is on the verge of having an army of thought watchings, love giving, bliss receiving people who are ready to take control of the world and get whatever they want in life.

I believe this to my core – which is one reason why I created highervibeslife.com – helping you believe that your life is unfolding for you, dependent on what you put in your head, and how you react to life – and you can have everything and anything you want – if you focus in the right way.

But you have to work.

You have to hustle.

You have to put in the time.

You have to have the dedication.

You have to have the grit.

You have to have the willingness.

Or else you have nothing.

You cannot just sit there and think the world will present itself to you.

Enter Lebron James

If you aren’t familiar with who Lebron James is, he is one of the most prolific basketball players to ever play the game. He consistently is in the same groups with Jordan, Kobe, and others for the greatest player of all time.

Some may say at 6’8″ tall, and 250 lbs, his sheer size gives him an advantage to put him to where he is at today. And while that helps – there is one thing he has that puts him over the top in his ability: WORK.

Lebron James spent hours in the gym, every single day, for nearly his entire life. Literally, dedicated his life to getting better every single day, perfecting his craft every single day, to get his dream accomplished.

Sure – his size helps. But I know people who are taller and stronger that don’t have the work ethic to make it to the NBA, much less be the force the Lebron is.

Did Lebron dream of the NBA?

You bet.

In fact, I think if given the opportunity to ask him, he would reply he spend countless hours dreaming of being Michael Jordan, holding up that trophy, hitting that game winning shot, being the leader a championship team needs.

But just dreaming of it wasn’t going to take him there. He had to put in the work. The gritty, dirty, sweaty work that most don’t do. That got him to the top. That got him to where he is today.

Seeing the dream is important. Visualizing your perfect self, perfect day, perfect life is important. But the work needs to be along with it.

As you work, as you develop yourself into the person you want to be, opportunities open up. The universe starts putting the pieces into place to help you get to where you need to go. The more you work, the better you get, the more opportunities unfold.

Put In The Work

Your dreams won’t work unless you do.

The work is part of the package – the framework. You need to have the dream/visualization, the goal, the steps, and the action. It all goes hand in hand to get you what you want.

But it works if you do.

And more than likely – if you do it right – it is less work than you think it is going to be.

When you have a dream in your mind, and you visualize that dream, and you write down the goal and steps to get there, you will see the right action to take. You will do the right work. You will focus on what you need to focus on, instead of running around from one shiny object to another. You will stay focused, driven, and successful.

The universe will show you the way – but you have the show the universe where.

And that answer is easy; live your true authentic life.

This is the core of happiness as I see it. Sure – there is more that goes into it. But if you want to take that first step forward, that biggest step – it is living your true authentic life.

And in order to live your true authentic life, you need to know what a true authentic life means to you. You need to be able to be your true authentic self.

Not the self your ego wants you to be. Not the self your boss wants you to be. Not the self your parents what you to be. The self – the true authentic self – that YOU want to be.

And this is perhaps that hardest part of the process, the self discovery.

Because it is all on you.

The proper way to do self discovery is to discovery your self – to discover you. What makes you tick, how your personally developed, your personally philosophy, what your beliefs are, what makes you happy, and everything in between that.

Once you know yourself, and knows what you want in life, from a true sense of your being, then you can go after it. Then you can start on the path with the truest of souls knowing that you are going down a path that sets your heart on fire.

That is easiest said than done.

This is hard because of the influences in our life. We have so many influences effecting what we believe, effecting the way we think, effecting the way we live our life. And although we may think that – during a self discovery journey – that we are truly thinking for our self, there are influences that persuade us to think a specific way.

We think we want a specific job, because that is what we said in the past, or what we went to school for.

We want the marriage because everyone is suppose to get married and have a partner.

We want the divorce because people around us got a divorce and they are happier. We DON’T want the divorce because we “marry for life” and should be miserable and married instead of happy and divorced.

We want more money, or better cars, or bigger homes, because that is what shows that world we are doing ok. We want less money, and no cars, and tiny homes, because that is how we show we go against the grain.

We could go on and on and on and on regarding the influences that we have in our life and shape the way we think.

And this effects your self discovery.

Because self discovery is the true discovery of the self – the opinion-less, non-influenced discovery of who you are – means that you leave all of that behind.

This means you need to sit quietly with yourself and meditate on your self discovery. It means looking at the influences in your life, and peeling back the layers of what is going on for them and their influence in your life. You need to make decisions with your ego quiet, so you can hear your soul and what is calling you.

Once you do that – you are on your way to a true authentic life. And once you have that – happiness is already upon you.

When we try to be what other people want, or we try to suffer through life thinking there is a specific game plan that we need to do, act on, and go forth on, that creates stress because we think we are going down the right back, but we know we really are just running around in a circle and not going down the path of what we truly want to do, or truly want to be.

This is not an overnight thing. For some, it takes years to go down this path and find yourself. But the journey is sooo worth it. The freedom of realizing you have found your true authentic self is a peace that is hard to describe. It is a happiness knowing you are living – living the glorious life in all it’s freedom.

But don’t get fooled thinking there is an end point to this. There is not a finish line you cross on the journey to self discovery and magically become enlighten. It is a journey for a reason, you follow the path, continuing to improve. That is the real peace – knowing you have found your true journey.

That doesn’t mean you have to stay where you are at, or even be satisfied where you are at – quite the opposite actually. You should want to push yourself forward, obtain all you can, and live the life that you know you were meant to live.

But you have you know where you have come from – you have to appreciate where you are at.

Appreciate Where You Are At

You have come through so much, whether you know it or not. Life has put you here, on this path you on in, on this course of life. You need to be grateful for that. You are exactly where you are suppose to be.

The gratefulness of this moment, of this life you are in, of all the things that are happening in your life right now, shows the universe that you are open for the future – that you know life is happening for you around you, not to you. You can relax your shoulders, open your heart, and enjoy this moment.

Because all you have – is this moment. This breathe, this heart beat, this life. You aren’t in the future – it hasn’t happened yet. You aren’t in the past, it is over. You have the now. You have right here. You have this moment. Be grateful for this moment. Be grateful where you are at.

So why is this important? Why is it important to be grateful and appreciate where you are at?

Because that is where you are.

It does NOT mean that is where you will stay. In fact – you are not supposed to! You need to grow, and move forward, and dream, and hustle, and keep pushing yourself to live the life that you know you are capable and powerful enough to live!

But being grateful here – now – shows the universe that you get it. You need to be here, before you can be there. If you just focus on the there, you forget about the here. The here gets you to there, so showing the universe that you appreciate here, allows more of the there to come in.

In other words, you cannot go where you want, without first passing through this moment. If you want to be excited and happy that you are working toward goals in your life – working toward your dreams and aspirations – you must understand that this moment is the path to get there, as well as all the other moments of your past. Everything you have been though – EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH – puts you on the path to where you want to go. You must be grateful and appreciate this moment now – where you are at – in order to continue to appreciate the journey to get where you want to go.
