What You Think About, You Bring About!

The sooner you can grasp this idea that what you think about you bring about, the sooner you will be on your way to improving your life. We are the ultimate creators of our own experiences. I first heard about the "Law of Attraction" back in 2007 with the book and movie "The Secret". It was such a fascinating concept for me and I definitely believed it. I had created so much chaos in my life in previous years. Now I realize that I was instigating all that drama.

I was a single mom working as a waitress and bartender at a restaurant while going through college. I had so much anxiety that I could barely take a satisfied breath. I had many sleepless nights up worrying about life. I'd start dating some guy that was a mess and things would turn ugly between us so then we'd break up and I'd tell all my friends about it thinking and talking about the drama more and more. During those six years as a single mom I had an apartment fire and had to move, I had a maintenance man stalking me from one of my apartments who also had a key to my apartment, I had a boss who got fired for sexually harassing me for over 2 years, I ended up getting a lump in my breast that was removed surgically, plus several other trips to the doctor because I thought I had a tumor in my chest since it was so hard to breath, not to mention all the craziness with the men I dated during that time. I remember saying "Do I have a sign on my forehead that says, if you're crazy come talk to me"?

Think of the thoughts you think and the words you speak as if they are going out into the universe in a pathway before you. As you walk that pathway whatever you have focused on enough you will eventually reach that experience. I had a dear friend of mine and her 7 month old baby die in a car accident in 2002. That experience was so traumatic. For years I would find myself envisioning my own funeral and what people would say, who would speak, where it would be etc. I've heard people in life say "I don't want to live until I'm old" , or "I know I'll die young I can feel it". No, No, No! Your words and thoughts have SO much power!

Think about things you DO want and not about what you DON'T want. Even though I've known about the Law of Attraction for 8 years now I still have to remind myself daily to monitor my thoughts. We have had years of thinking negative thoughts so it does take some commitment to retrain the brain. Every day I try to either read out of an uplifting book for five to ten minutes or listen to a youtube podcast as I'm driving around in the day. I just search law of attraction and listen for ten minutes or so just to keep me in that place of focusing on the good.

Now as I drive down the road instead of envisioning horrible things happening I'm most likely envisioning me, my husband and children at our (future) lake house. Going out on our boat or jet skis, entertaining friends, all of us sitting around the fire telling stories, laughing and enjoying this beautiful precious life experience together.
