Where the Focus Goes, The Energy Flows

I really feel that the title of this book is kind of misleading. To me, it's not a question if whether or not your thoughts can change your life, it's a question of what kind of thoughts do you really want to think because every thought you have will change your life. This does not mean that one must monitor their every thought, but what this does mean is that we need to become more consciously aware of where our focus is upon. Is our focus on debt or abundance? Is our focus on health or disease? Is our focus on struggle or inner empowerment? You see, we can at any time, change our focus and where our attention is, there will be our reality. As a mentor of mine used to tell me repeatedly, "Where the focus goes, the energy flows..." Not bad for an eighty year old codger with twelve teeth. But, he, too, was a major lesson for me...if I had just gone by appearances, I would've seen this skinny, wrinkly prune of a human being with bug eyes and hair that stood straight up in the air like he was being shocked. But after working closely with the man for more than eight years, I focused on something more than his appearance, I focused on his compassion, his humility, his genuine love for God and for life and how he was "grooming" me to become the best me I could be... I miss you, Robert...gimme a sign that you're still around me, sometime, okay? Anyway, about this book by Donald Curtis, who I met, by the way...incredible man...full of energy, passion, and vision. This book is written in the same way. It is a very passionate book. It's not screaming at you with trite cliches on how you can better your life; it simply states that you can change your life, if you change your thoughts about it. I find myself saying this a lot to clients but I also tell them that they must keep their thoughts changed...in other words, you must keep the focus on what you are attempting to uncover... You see, a lot of beginning metaphysical students...and I was one, once...think that it's all about "making" something happen. You are making the universe provide you with wealth, health, and success. Not true. Not true, at all. We are letting something happen. We are letting the Truth be known that we are ALREADY abundant, we are ALREADY healthy, we are ALREADY successful, we just need to get out of our way long enough to see that God has given us everything ALREADY to live lives that are abundant in every way. So, yes...I do recommend this book it is a metaphysical classic. It was written, I believe, in 1961 so it's not a "shiny new penny"...and yes, there are A LOT of books currently "out there" that have much the same information, but the reason why I am suggesting this book is because the man who wrote this book, Donald Curtis, was "steeped" in this stuff. He lived it 28 hours a day, nine days aweek. He truly was a great ambassador of this "mental/spiritual" approach to life. A quick story before I shut up. I went to see Mr. Curtis at a church in Los Angeles. At the tim

I've read this book four times, and plan to read it again

This was one of the first books I read on the power of your thoughts, how it relates to our spiritual energy, and how you can bring about powerful change to your life, simply by changing the focus of your thoughts. This book is filled with great examples, affirmations, exercises and inspirations which truly does convince me that your thoughts CAN change your life.
