What you look for you get

The title of this article is quite a simple statement in a way, and yet it's packed with important information relative to the results we get from life. I'm sure that just about all of my valued readers have heard someone say to them at one time or another, "Don't go looking for trouble." Now as simple a statement as that appears to be it is chock full of excellent advice for as we all know, if you go looking for trouble, chances are that you'll find it. Here's another example of how what you look for you get.
If a young person were to grow up in a family atmosphere where both parents were extremely critical of the neighbors, always stating that they are trash and that no one who is any good lives in the neighborhood, well then, obviously everywhere the children go in the neighborhood they will keep on coming across no good people because that's what they are expecting to find, that's how they've been programmed by their parents.
As I have emphasized on many occasions in the past in these articles, the mental conditioning that we obtained in our young, formative years, plays a very big part in how we think and act as an adult. So when parents consistently tell children what they'll encounter, they tend for the most part to accept what they've been told to expect, until such time as they begin to mature and become independent thinkers, who can perhaps drastically change their initial mode of thinking.
So instead of always looking for negative people and events, they can do a 180-degree turn in their overall thinking, so that they now see good instead of bad, positive instead of negative.
Dr. Denis Waitley author of the bestseller "The Winner's Edge" states, "We get in life, not what we idly hope for, but what we expect." And the universal law of attraction states as follows, we attract toward us people, circumstances and events in accordance with our thinking. So this surely backs up my argument here today, which is what you look for you get.
So my friend, in conclusion, make sure that you're looking for success, for excellent health, for a great job, for prosperity, peace of mind, and a world full of wonderful people and exciting events day after day. Yes it is indeed true, that as a person thinks so are they. So always look for the very best, and that's what you'll inevitably find. Believe me!
