In the movie The Secret, Jack Canfield discusses a very important distinction that is important for us to get. The distinction is about what we want versus what we dont want. Most people live life from what they do not want, trying to avoid certain things in life rather than moving towards what they want. NLP refers to the same conversation as moving towards something as opposed to moving away from something. If we attempt to simply stay away from something or are constantly moving away from that something, it is no wonder that we will keep ths same in our life. Simply stated, what we think about and put conscious attention and intention to, physically manifests into our life. While something may not be that which we consciously tell ourselves that we do not want, we create it anyway. If what keeps showing up in our life is what we do not want then getting the importance of positive thoughts and thinking will allow you the opportunity to change your life. While this distinction may appear simple, there are some, if they were honest, would admit that they do not know what they want from and out of life.
