Here’s another snippet from Tony’s new book, The Best Outcome You Can Imagine, scheduled for release in 2021.
“Did you ever wonder why so many people are drawing unwanted experiences into their lives? It’s all a huge Mistraction!”
“A Mistraction? What are you talking about? Is it something like a distraction?”
“No, a distraction is anything that pulls our attention away from whatever we’re thinking about. A mistraction is worse. It’s when we’re stubbornly holding our attention on thoughts we really wouldn’t want to be manifesting for ourselves. It’s dwelling on worst case scenarios.”
“So, what’s the big deal? It really doesn’t seem to be hurting anything.”
“It’s hurting everything, my friend. Mistraction is the reason our world is in the mess it’s in. And it’s the reason for all of our personal problems and challenges, as well.”
“I don’t understand. Are you sure you’re not making it all out to be something bigger than what it really is?”
“Not a chance! In fact, it’s running rampant in our world today; we see it everyday, all the time. If you listen in on the average conversation between any two people nowadays, you’ll likely hear several instances of Mistraction.”
“I still don’t get it. Can you give me an example?”
“Sure. Let’s say you’re talking with a friend and he begins to talk about all the sickness that he says is going around. He further goes into detail, describing all the symptoms, statistics and suffering, as well as the possibility in his mind that it’s highly contagious and you could catch it and get sick yourself. Now . . if you go along with him and buy into what he’s saying, you place yourself in harm’s way by entertaining the idea that you could get sick. This is a classic Mistraction.”
“Hmmm. I’m beginning to see what you mean.”
“Good! Because we have the power to make our lives better by holding onto positive, uplifting thoughts. And we also have the power to make our lives worse by holding onto ideas and beliefs that don’t serve us or anyone else.”
“I suppose this Mistraction that you’re talking about holds true for things other than diseases and illnesses. It works for anything we’d want to manifest, including economic, environmental and emotional issues as well, yes?”
“That’s right. It’s the Law of Attraction turned upside down. Instead of using this empowering Law to attract good, positive experiences into our lives, we’re using it nowadays to “mistract” a whole slew of unwanted experiences into our lives.”
“So, the Law of Mistraction comes into play when I’m attracting unwanted, undesirable experiences into my life. is this correct?”
“Yes. You’ve got it! The only question now is can you remain aware of the Law long enough to stop bringing all the adversity into your life.”
“And how do I do that?”
“Well, to begin with, you’ll want to start watching your thoughts and words a lot closer than you have been. Now that you’re realizing that your thoughts and words are having such a pivotal impact on your future, you’ll be needing to monitor them much more diligently than ever before in order to weed out all of your “mistractions”. When you’re able to turn those pesky, negative thoughts and words around, or turn your attention away from them entirely, then the negative, unwanted experiences will eventually stop coming your way.”
“Wow! That’s all there is to it. All I’ve got to do is think and speak more positively – and envision only the most positive outcomes and results I can imagine – in every situation, no matter what it is – then everything in my life will get better.”
“Precisely! From the moment you begin to turn your thinking and speaking in a more positive direction, your positive experiences will follow.”
“OMG! Now I’m beginning to see what you mean when you say that all our worldly woes would go away if we, as a whole, would refrain from thinking about and talking about them all the time. Everything would change!”
“Absolutely! Like I said, it all hinges on what we’re putting our attention on. We can either continue to think and talk about unwanted things like wars, pandemics and potential calamities, and thus reinforce them, make them stronger and draw them to us. Or, we can start thinking and talking only about our abundance, our safety, our serving, sharing and caring for one another and thus attract these desirable things into our world.”
“Okay! From now on I’m going to watch what I’m thinking and saying much closer because, in my heart of hearts, I really only want to be attracting happy times into my life, instead of “mistracting” anymore unhappy times into my life.”
“Good thinking, my friend. Our rewards are always assured when we’re more careful about what we’re creating with our everyday thoughts and words.”
We get what we say we want
