How to Get What You’re Lacking

It’s simple.

First decide whatever it is you lack that you want more of.

Start with your career.  What do you want more of?  Earnings?  Respect?  Recognition?  Time off?

Then, put more attention on how to get it.  Study it.  Write about it, even privately to yourself.

You get more of what you put your attention towards.  You start getting ideas and useful insights.  The reason you’re lacking anything in particular is you didn’t put enough attention towards it.

So put more attention towards it more often.

Up to you how you do that.  But since you’re out of the habit in this particular area you’re lacking in, you might find it useful to get your calendar or alarms to assist you re-directing your attention at certain times.

I got more time off in my work by putting my attention on how to still earn a good living working less.  I got a bit obsessed with this idea and found the information I needed and generated useful ideas which I applied.  Re-directing my attention purposefully enabled it.  It was a choice.

So go on then, do it now, what are you lacking in your career?  Pick the one that will have the most impact on you.
