For my perfect nearsighted (myopic) vision I have to wear spectacles which have now become indispensable part of my life as I can’t think of maneuvering without it. It has been so for around a decade. My eyesight has not improved much yet it has not deteriorated as well due to my careful handling of it. Recently having been bogged down by so much and being preoccupied with ongoing ordeals on personal and professional front, one fine morning I didn’t even notice that I went for morning walk without my spectacles and didn’t feel any problem with my vision. It repeated on the subsequent days and I also started trying the same for my day time and evening ventures. Suddenly the thought cropped up within if my eyesight had improved considerably. By chance , I had to go to the optician in the evening for a new pair of glasses to be made. To my surprise the power of my vision was as it is. Now it was the time to introspect and find out the reason of this mystery.
I actually didn’t have to struggle much with this mystery of my improved vision. After internalizing I came into the awareness of fact that what you focus on , you experience ,then be it your lack or abundance. My focus was on the abundant ongoing challenges and my preoccupation with those abundant challenges hardly let me realize that I have a weak distant vision. My intention here is not at all to convey that serious problems make you forget smaller ones or the previous subdue the latter. Rather what I understood is that if I focus more on my lack all the time I will experience the same in my reality as I have been very cautious of not moving without my spectacles fearing the unclear vision. But when this fact was out of focus because of other things in my mind I didn’t face any problem in moving without specs.
Now let us associate it with our day- today lives. We live our life fearing consequences. The focus is always on what we don’t have or what we will lose . So do we attract a life where we have the experience of what we don’t have or what we keep losing. Can’t we replace with our focus on what we have so that the lack of something is not even realized. I of course don’t exhort to ignore our lacks as we can’t work on it till we recognize our lack but focusing all the time on it makes it our reality or our life. Your life is where your focus is! It’s up to you where or what to focus on!
