The Secret – Law of Attraction

“A year ago, my life had collapsed around me. I’d worked myself into exhaustion, my father died suddenly, and my relationships were in turmoil. Little did I know at the time, out of my greatest despair was to come the greatest gift. I’d been given a glimpse of a Great Secret. I began tracing The Secret back through history.” – Rhonda Byrne, Author of The Secret

Does this sound familiar?

This is my story: “A year ago, my life had collapsed around me. I’d worked myself into a roller coaster of emotions, my father was admitted to hospital due to heart problem 2 months apart with many follow-up visits, and my relationships were in turmoil. Little did I know at the time, out of my greatest despair was to come the greatest gift. I’d been given a glimpse of what life is all about. I began struggling to get my life back on track.”

This year, I had been exposed to The Secret – the law of attraction, positive thinking.

And I started pondering…Why weren’t we exposed to the secret in our early education – in the way explained in the book?

“The Secret has been passed down through the ages…coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, bought for vast sums of money, and known by some of the most exceptional people who ever lived: Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, Hugo, Beethoven, Lincoln, Emerson, Edison, Einstein, Galileo, Da Vinci.” – The Secret

We, human being, tend to delve into negative thoughts more easily than positive thoughts. We were born to complain, criticize, to perceive others based on our own perception. When something bad came up, we tend to think “It always happens to me”, “Why am I the unlucky one?” etc. instead of “I feel glad that I’m given the opportunity to experience this so I can learn from it, or “I feel glad that I’m the chosen one to experience this…” etc. With the understanding of the law of attraction, we will be able to live the life we want!

Sometimes, it is not easy to control our thoughts, especially when we are enveloped within a negative society, as there is always this little voice in us trying to take control of our thoughts.

Months ago, I’d stopped reading the newspaper because all I felt after reading it was negativity – insecurity, fear, unfairness, ridiculous, uneasiness. Every time when I read the main section, I would shake my head ridiculously because it was full of sensational news – death, rape, scandal, disaster, political issues etc. Yes, on one hand, we need to know what’s happening around the world. However, with this constant bombardment of negativity, how can one think positively when the news becomes a hot topic of discussion in office, social gathering etc?

When we often read something from the negative perspective, we will see it in our mind, bringing it into our life – just like what Bob Proctor said “If you see it in your mind, you’re going to hold it in your hand” and Mike Dooley “Thoughts become things!”. When we share it with others, we are actually manifesting it into reality. It is the law of attraction!

This is so true because I felt happier ever since I stopped reading newspaper. Even when I log into Facebook, my eyes will eliminate all negative news because my emotion will turn into negative if I start to read them and a series of negative events will follow.

“Here’s the problem. Most people are thinking about what they don’t want, and they’re wondering why it shows up over and over again.” – John Assaraf.

Last year, I was living in fear, the fear of my father’s health status. I don’t want anything to happen to him. After reading The Secret, I realize that I was actually manifesting my own thoughts. I worked towards changing my thoughts and the situation got better. However, I do tend to slip back into negative thoughts now and then. This is why we need to surround ourselves with positive people and positive and empowering messages frequently.

As the Genie in Aladdin said “Your wish is my command.” This is how the law of attraction works.

After understanding the law of attraction, I’ve a better grip of the reality and able to reflect on a situation based on the understanding of this law. Things started to change gradually when I focused on what I really wanted. Opportunities just popped up out of nowhere – from close contacts to distant contacts to hi-bye contacts. When this happens, it is up to us whether we see it and grab it firmly because without any actions taken, things will remain as they are and then, we’ll start blaming our fate all over again.

Last week was a long week for me when everything seemed to be out of order. And I began to reflect and understand that it is the law of attraction! By changing my emotion, I could change the situation, provided that my thoughts are strong and clear. This is called the creative process – Ask, Believe, Receive:

• Ask: Be clear and firm on what you want and just ask once.
• Believe: Believe that you’ve received and have faith.
• Receive: Feel wonderful about it.

This is a way to remind ourselves how powerful our thoughts are.

You are the creator of your destiny!

I’m on the journey of clearing the junks out of my mind. What about you? Have you started for yourself?

*Use the law of attraction wisely and ethically.

*Love and Hope for better tomorrow*
