Written by Sara Lim | Do you have negative thoughts about yourself? How about your job? Your co-workers? Your boss? Your mother? Your father? Your siblings, your friends, the news, the traffic, the weather, your hair, your clothes, the neighbor’s dog, your spouse, your kids, your in-laws, that promotion you didn’t get, the construction workers next door, that boy who turned you down, the dishwasher, your car, your house, that guy who might turn you down, politics, your face, this country, or anything else in your life…?
What if I told you that a big reason why negative things happen to you is because you think negative thoughts and that most, if not all, of these negative things that happen are completely your own fault? If you’ve taken offense, let me ask you a question. When something fortunate happens to you in your life, whose fault is it? I’d like to humbly ask you to start taking full responsibility for your life from now on. Did something good happen because of your hard work? Take credit. Did something bad happen because of something you did or didn’t do? No more excuses; it’s time to take credit for that too.
The Law of Attraction is a simple theory. It is not easy to master, but can be powerful when put to good use. Many people have come across the Law of Attraction before, but the content I am providing you with here comes purely from a presentation I saw a few weeks ago done by Michael Losier, author of ‘The Law of Attraction’ (and other such books), mingled with my own interpretation of things.
So, what is it? The Law of Attraction states that, when you emit negative vibes you will attract negativity, and when you emit positive vibes you will attract positivity. There is no grey area; there are only positive thoughts and negative thoughts. Then these thoughts become vibes, and these vibes attract things to us.
These vibes do not appear out of thin air; they are created through our words. The words we use become thoughts in our head, and these thoughts in our head become feelings, and these feelings become vibes emitted into the world and are felt by those around us. Have you ever noticed someone was angry or having a bad day without them telling you? Did that make you uncomfortable or affect you in a negative way? That would be a great example of how our vibes affect our surroundings.
Now I do not believe that thinking positive thoughts alone will cure someone’s cancer. I do believe, however, that if you are able to curb your thoughts into positivity, and then give off positive vibes, positive things will happen to you, especially if you take action towards the things you want with a positive attitude. You may not be able to cure cancer, but you might be able to cure some broken hearts, offer support where it’s needed, or research other possible treatments that might work better.
The first thing to notice is what words you are using. How many times a day do you use the words ‘don’t, ‘not’, and ‘no’? Try to catch yourself when you say these words and stop yourself. If you are thinking something like, “I hope I don’t screw this up,” you are giving attention to the idea of you screwing up. Stop yourself and try to think of what you want to happen. Then change your words, which will change your thoughts, which will change your feelings, which will change your vibes. For example, you can think, “I want to nail this presentation and impress my peers and bosses,” instead.
