Consider that we become aware by placing our attention on something. Before placing your attention on that thing, it didn’t exist for you. Once you become aware of it, it’s real and part of your consciousness on some level. By observing, you make things alive in your own universe.
On the other hand, when you put less attention on something, it tends to disappear. Problems don’t go away, no. But by focusing on the solution, you may find you get there quicker. Remaining focused on bad brings bad. Finding the positive incorporates it into your reality.
Is your life precisely what you wish it to be? If not, no matter the reason, you can still learn to control your attention, and thereby, learn to create it. Does that mean you can materialize something out of nothing? No. Awareness and action work hand in hand. But without the former, all the work in the world may prove useless.
Armed with greater awareness, you can be the change you wish to affect, in your own life and in the world at large.
