Can you hold the inevitable tension between what is and what might be in a generative way?

When we want something we don't have, our tendency is to focus on the "not having." Don’t take my word for it. Check it out yourself. Pay attention to your thoughts surrounding what you want in your life. Discover where your attention goes. Inadvertently, many of us are focusing on the “not having,” and by doing so, some claim we only create more of the “not having.” I can't say this is true all of the time, but in my experiments with the concept in my own life, I have found it to be true a lot of the time. Again, check it out. Experiment. If you find, like I did, that this is in fact happening for you, I encourage you to intentionally focus on what you do have, then see what happens.
