Doing it Wrong

Have you ever noticed that worrying about doing something wrong greatly improves your chances of actually doing it wrong?

You always go where you focus. As a human being, you simply can’t help it. We’re all built this way-- it's helped us to evolve this far!.

If you fear something will go wrong, worrying about it is a very useful way to help make it go that way.

Instead, think about what you DO want instead of what you don’t want. That is, focus on how you’d like to have things turn out. Go ahead and keep an eye on things that may prevent your outcome, but don’t dwell on them.

It’s good to keep how things might go wrong on the radar but keep them on the periphery. It’s okay to use that information as a guide but use it like you’d use the side mirrors on a car. You always check your mirrors when you drive, but you don’t stare at them.

Your action always goes in the same direction as your focus.

Fear is a form of focus—usually a concentrated form of focus because it’s charged with emotion.
