68 Concentration

You are very effective when you concentrate.
Things seem to magnify and you see more clearly.
And you solve problems more easily.

Yet this ability does not judge.
It will magnify whatever you choose to concentrate on.
So if you worry about something and concentrate on that, guess what happens.
It gets magnified.
It becomes bigger.
Increases in size. In importance. In urgency.
And what may have been a simple ‘something’ suddenly becomes huge.
And discouraging.

The next time you worry first ask yourself,
“Is this really that bad or mostly a result of my concentrating on it?”
