The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 191: Albert Einstein And Your Attention
Ok, so Albert Einstein has not been on the planet for over 50 years but he can help you today and truth be told every day.
A few times in my podcast I’ve mentioned one of Einstein’s quotes, “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”
Having done what I do for many years and observing myself, what most of us do when we hear a great or powerful quote is, well, nothing to near nothing. Often we hear it and think, “That’s nice” and 30 seconds later we’re back to the tasks at hand.
So, when hearing the Einstein quote, what are your thoughts? Have you really placed some deep and focused attention on how you use your imagination and what you imagine daily?
If you have been listening to me for any amount of time you know I often say, “You are where your attention is,” and the more powerful awareness is what you’re thinking about is actually using your imagination because you have to use your imagination to “think about it.”
When you’re worrying about work, family, kids, health, relationships, love and money…that’s ALL imagination and research shows that 90% of people spent a lot of their day imagining negative outcomes.
Hence, if you’re thinking about things and circumstances you don’t want you’re then imagining it and when you’re doing that you’re imprinting your subconscious mind and actually creating the negative imagination in your life circumstances.
Also notice, when you’re thinking about negative things and outcomes do you not want in your life and the more you do that the more you create what you do not want.
So…..think about and imagine only what you want.
Transformational Takeaway: See things as you want them to be and not as they are.
