Law Of Attraction And Running Your Own Race!

I usually get my inspiration as I’m driving when I cannot write
it down, and as I drove this morning this thought came to me:
RUN YOUR OWN RACE!

I remember reading a long time ago about how horses when they
are racing don’t care about the other horses; they don’t look
over to see what the next horse is doing. They are focused and
they run their own race.

I found this quote while looking up ‘run your own race’:

“I raised you to be a thoroughbred. When thoroughbreds run they
wear blinders to keep their eyes focused straight ahead with no
distractions, no other horses. They hear the crowd but they
don’t listen. They just run their own race. That’s what you
have to do. Don’t listen to anyone comparing you to me or to
anyone else. You just run your own race.” Excerpted from The
Right Words at the Right Time (Atria Books, January 2004) by
Marlo Thomas.

How does this apply to Law of Attraction? Simple: What are you
focusing on? Is your focus directly on your life and the goals
you want to achieve? Are you spending your time and energy
looking straight ahead towards the life of your dreams, or are
you busy looking at what the next person owns, drives or has
achieved?

Oftentimes we spend our lives judging how much we will do or
how much we should do based on what everyone else around us is
doing. A good example of this is in the workplace or in
businesses when people feel they should stop productivity or
feel resentment because coworkers or partners aren’t pulling
the same weight…but not everyone has the same goals and dreams
as you do. We don’t all have your skills, visions or hope for
the future…We don’t all want the same things.

So this message was powerful to me and I asked myself the
question ‘How much more would YOU accomplish if YOU stopped
looking over at the person beside YOU?’

How do you put on blinders? You mind your own business! You’ve
heard this everywhere, from Tony Robbins and Rich Dad to
Abraham-Hicks.

Minding your own business isn’t a bad thing like most people
think. It’s about not worrying about what everyone else is
doing or where they are going, but about what YOU are doing and
where YOU are going and what YOU want to achieve. It’s about
looking straight ahead and not shifting that focus. Keep your
eyes on the prize!

Law of Attraction teaches that what you focus on you will
attract, so as you focus on what everyone else is doing or not
doing, then you will get more of that. You need to put on
blinders and forget what everyone else is doing because at the
end of the day only you can change your life!

Are you truly focused on your own race? A friend of mine has
the goal of attracting 5 million dollars while my goal is
attracting 400 million. That is a difference of 395 million
dollars. That’s a whole different racetrack altogether… Most
people don’t realize that they are running a different race
than friends, family and coworkers, and a lot never reach full
potential because they don’t want to stand out. Focusing on
your own race means not caring much about what anyone else
does, thinks or says about your visions, goals, dreams and YOUR
LIFE.

As Will Smith says in the Pursuit of Happyness, “Don’t ever let
someone tell you that you can’t do something. People can’t do
something themselves and they want to tell you that you cannot
do it either.”

Running your own race means holding on to your dreams and
moving towards them and not letting anyone deter you from your
goals or dreams.

Focus on your own race.
Focus on your own visions.
Focus on your own life.
Focus on your own dreams.
Focus on YOUR goals and RUN YOUR OWN RACE!
