Focus on what you want to see more of

That’s the Golden Rule.

And of course, there is the Silver Rule (h/t Nassim Taleb): don’t focus on what you want less of.

(To give a blindingly obvious current-day example: you want less racism? Stop looking for racism. Fucking Idiots.)

Anyway. This quick thought is brought to you by my eclectic X.com feed, which tossed this Neville Goddard quote (yes in all caps) at me:

DO NOT DWELL ON THE IMPERFECTION OF YOURSELF OR OTHERS. TO DO SO IS TO IMPRESS THE SUBCONSCIOUS WITH THESE LIMITATIONS. WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT DONE UNTO YOU, DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS DONE UNTO YOU OR ANOTHER.” — NEVILLE GODDARD

Silver Rule. Do it.

Compare to Emmet Fox’s Golden Key: turn away from thinking about the problem, and think about God instead.

Same thing.
