Sometimes the world slows down just long enough for clear thoughts to make their way into your consciousness. Recently, I had one such moment and a couple of things permeated my otherwise full mind. 

The first is that we are so quick to judge others and dole out advice on how they should be living their lives or what they should do in a certain situation (or at least I found myself doing this) and then in a similar situation you don’t take your own advice. Part of it is that you need to get outside of your own “life’s box” just far enough to see the reality of your own situation. 

The second epiphany I had has two aspects. One is that what you think about, you bring about. Now tie that into what you don’t think about, you don’t bring about. The second bit is what really hit me. If in the back of your mind you have a thought about what you want, but you never actually spend time or put energy towards it- it doesn’t have the power behind it to manifest, or at least not anytime soon.

So, bottom line- take your own advice and be aware of what you want in this life and put at least your thought energy there to start.
