The Law of Attraction

The universe has unlimited opportunities
It has been quiet a while since I put something down. Believe me i had a hectic time trying to regroup my life and find the right path. It was a couple of crazy months. I missed writing though.


In between soul searching and trying to be the best person in 2009, I came across a Documentary titled "Secrets" courtesy of my brother. At first I was not paying attention until when I closely tried to figure out what the film was about. The Documentary is about positive thinking, in that we attract events in the universe to manifest into reality by our own actions through thoughts. For instance, if you worry too much about debt, debt will eventually come to you and will never stop until when you stop stressing much about it. I know it is somehow far-fetched but believe me the concept I love about this whole law of attraction is the fact that it promotes optimism, something we should be able to constantly live with as human beings. At one point in the Documentary, one expert suggests that, we should see the universe as a catalogue of some sought. In other words, we should be flipping the "catalogue" and choose what we want in life and wallah!!...there it will be but with effort and not on a silver platter. The essence is, when offered a half glass of water, optimists would say, I have a glass that is half full and pessimists would say , I have a glass half empty. You choose!


Read the follwing excerpts from wikipedia:


The Law of Attraction has roots in Quantum Physics. According to proponents of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of. In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things:


Know what you want.
Ask the universe for it.
Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is on its way.
Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment) to the outcome.


Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the universe will manifest a person's desires.
