The Law of Attraction

The universe apparently wants me to know something. By chance, I've come across two books in the past month. "The Secret," and "The Laws of Attraction." Both books have the same message. Whatever your reality is at the moment, you've created it. If you're poor, it's your fault. If you're rich, it's your fault. Sick, dumb, smart, attractive, missing a limb......your fault, your fault, your fault, your fault. The idea is that we're all made of energy, be it good or bad energy, and we send that energy out into the "universe," through our thoughts and actions. If we have a positive outlook and expect great things to happen to us, they will. But you have to believe with all your might, mind and soul, that what you want will find you. If you want to be a millionare, you're encouraged to write your goal down and feel excited everday that a million dollars is coming your way, even if you don't know how you'll make it. You have to be clear about your beliefs, and avoid ever feeling doubtful or pesimistic. These books basically guarantee that you'll get whatever you want, and that the universe will send opportunities your way.

I'm an optimist, and I want to believe that this is all true. I'm following the steps in the book faithfully. I'm writing down my goals, clearing out my negativity, and expecting good things to happen to me. I'm picturing my dreams coming true everday, and trying to feel the excitement I'll really feel when they come to fruition. My husband thinks I'm loony but he's wrong, and I'm going to prove it eventually. But right now I can't let my good "energy" be disturbed by his bad karma. And my goals aren't entirely grand either. Right now, one of my goals is to have friends. It's a sad fact, but I have none. It doesn't actually bother me at all, except that Taylor is growing up and she needs to be social. If I don't have friends, it makes it harder for her to make friends. So I'm sending the universe my positive expectation that I will soon have wonderful, genuine, and fun friends. I can see it in my head. We'll go shopping with our kids together, have bunco parties, go to the park and most importantly, Taylor will feel that she has friends. See? It's not like I'm asking for a million dollars. I'm starting small.

The one thing these books have opened my eyes to is the fact that I deserve to have good things happen to me. I don't think I've ever felt that before. That type of thought always seemed arrogant to me, but not now. I'm a good person. I'm a great wife, mother and friend. Good things SHOULD happen to me, so now I'm going to sit back and enjoy the good things that our bound to happen in my life.
