I recently picked up some books, Law of Attraction and The
Alchemist. Both of these books, though they are very different, gave me some
insight that I’d like to relay to you.
Do you believe in coincidences? Or fate?
Definition of Law of Attraction: I attract to my life whatever I give
my attention, energy and focus to, whether positive or negative.
My first puppy-love? I first saw him in the hallway four
years before I had ever made contact with him and I knew there was something. Some feeling, some cosmic-power,
some kind of vibe.
In the ‘Vibrational’ world, there are only two kinds of vibrations,
positive and negative. Every mood or feeling causes you to emit, send-out or
offer a vibration, whether positive or negative.
Is it possible that I wanted something so bad that I sent a
positive vibration out into the world to be read? Is it possible that my energy
caused him to notice me and like me too that eventually we ended up together? I
really don’t know.
A few months before my grandmother passed away, I lost the
only piece of jewelry I owned, which was a ring; a favorite ring that could
only fit one particular finger because all my other fingers were tubby, while
the right hand, ring finger was the most slender. When I learned of my
grandmother’s passing I knew I wanted to take something back with me as a
reminder, but I had no idea what, I just knew that I wanted something of hers to always be with me.
Randomly, my cousin graciously gave me a ring, a ring that belonged to my
grandma. She was very petite, and had long, slim fingers, much slimmer than
mine. I looked at it in my hand and it honestly reminded me of the scene in
Lord of the Rings (nerd alert) when Isildur grabs the ring and it shrinks
within his hand so it would fit, because that ring fit that one and only finger
of mine perfectly.
Again, is it possible that I called into the universe and it
heard me? Is it possible that my energy brought this about?
Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time.
One or the other must dominate. It is your responsibility to make sure that
positive emotions constitute the dominating influence of your mind.
“You scare me because I want to fall in love. But that’s stupid.
Besides, you’re better than me and I’d screw it up somehow. I know whatever we
have won’t last forever. But I don’t know how long it will last and I want it
to last forever because I don’t want either of us to hurt. Yet, I also know
that I’m the one who would screw it up. I’m the guy who would sleep with some
random chick because I’m horny and traveling and then when it hurts you, beat
myself up over it,” said the boy I loved with all my heart. I said, “Well, we
will handle it when we get to it, but I really want to be something with you,
so let’s give it a try.”
The call was made and the universe heard.
A year later, after many, many, doubts, after numerous ‘I
don’t want this to hurt’ or ‘don’t cheat, don’t do this, don’t do that,’ he
did.
When you make a statement containing the words don’t, not or no, you
are actually giving attention and energy to what you don’t want.
There were too many coincidences that happened, too many
out-of-the-blue-serendipity type moments. The things that I focused on, I received.
Good and bad. When I really, truly wanted something, I was given the opportunity
to seek it. When I really feared
something, it happened. I believe now, more than ever, things do happen for a
reason, even the bad things.
It’s a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to
realize your Personal Legend. It prepares your spirit and your will, because
there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is
that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated
in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth.
At times both the past and the future overwhelm me. I remember
what was and I am saddened by how things turned out and other times I look
towards the future and fear for the worst. Luckily, I’m catching myself more and more and
retraining my thoughts to focus on the present, to think positively and to attract better things. Thankfully, my outlook is much brighter which helps me on days when I'm feeling down. I have to
remind myself that this is my journey
and everything that happens on my journey was and is supposed to happen as a way for
me to grow.
My mind is a little restless, so my apologies for the
randomness and sporadic thoughts. Hopefully it gave you a little bit of
insight, too?
