Meaning

This reads as a claim that attention and expectation shape how a life feels. It can be taken to mean that people who habitually talk in terms of health, wealth, or joy are already orienting themselves toward those things, while fixating on their absence can reinforce lack. It lands when someone is framing a goal, because it shifts the question from wanting something to inhabiting it.

About Stephen Richards

author

He has since worked with other writers as well, and his later focus has shifted toward mind, body, and spirit subjects. He is especially associated with books on Cosmic Ordering and mind power. His work moves from true crime into self-help and related spiritual and personal development topics, reflecting that change in focus.
