Excuse me while I duck into this phone booth

“Consciousness will whip up whatever we wish to experience and will present it to us in a way that is convincing and believable.”—David Bingham

While I’m slower than a speeding bullet and unable to leap tall buildings with a single bound, I do happen to possess an impressive superpower.

This rock-em, sock-em superpower has the ability to change not only my world, but the world that appears before my eyes.

My superpower is my attention. And how I dispose of it is the ultimate creative act. What I attend to with my consciousness renders the life I will experience.

I can place my attention on lack and limitation or I can place it on life’s never-ending blessings.

I can direct my attention towards displeasing situations and circumstances, to things I want to fix or change or I can actively direct my attention towards beauty.

And here’s the thing about consciousness. Where we choose to look starts hardening up. It becomes the only model we see, not because it’s the only available possibility, but because everything that doesn’t fit (those things we’re not paying attention to) are quickly rendered invisible. That’s why my attention is a superpower.

I heard a definition of abundance the other day that I really dig. Abundance is not about what you have. It’s about how you feel about what you have.

So, as always, you get a choice which phone booth to duck into, which reality you’re going to attend. Perhaps your decision could even qualify as a moral act.

Enjoy this brilliant Wednesday, friends!
