Thoughts do Attract!

“We tend to attract whatever thoughts of desire or expectation that we persistently hold in the mind” -Unknown

I came across this quote, and felt that I could really relate to it. It basically defines the Law of Attraction. Something I always try to practice.

However, all this while when I practice the law of attraction, be it for a job I want, the life I want, the partner I want or be it small little things such as getting a parking spot in a mall during a rush hour,(thanks to a friend who taught me that:), I never realized that despite all that, The Law of Attraction not only attracted things that were tangible but also to things I wanted emotionally.

For example, when we keep seeing the best in people, spreading love and joy, believing in true love and friendship, believing in people, or even thinking how to make a difference in someone’s life, the same thing actually comes right in front of our eyes. Sometimes without us realizing. And these emotional satisfaction as they consist of feelings that are indefinable.

Sometime we may feel we are not worthy of something that comes before us. Being the honest person we may be, as we might not have put in enough effort to achieve something, we tend let it go. As we feel there might be a catch, or it’s too good to be true. Then, there are those who put so much effort, but never gets the opportunity the others got. Is it luck? Maybe. However I feel what one fails to realize is, sometimes it’s the thoughts and possibly simple actions in our mind throughout the day that brings us to that which is offered to us.

I know my dad, being the man he is, would always ask, “What did you to deserve that?” “Why is he/she being so nice to you?” “Did you work hard enough to get that?” “How come you?”.
It’s only human to think and ask, but that’s when I smile and tell my dad what he used to teach me once before and say, “ It’s Karma, dad!”.

As I write this, I feel in a way, that the Law of Attraction and the Law of Karma, that goes “what goes around comes around” pretty much means the same, driving the same result.
I may be wrong, but , It’s just what I feel.

You see, we tend to attract people who are like us. We tend to attract the job we are capable of doing or wanting to do. We attract the kind of life we want to be a part of. It’s all in the mind and in our thoughts and the more we give, even if it’s just through the mind and our thoughts, the more we get in return.
I guess maybe it’s like they say what we think, we act. Even if it’s subconsciously, we act based on our thoughts.

Like prayers. We pray, we don’t know if we are heard, but we often see the results. Though sometimes the results may not be obvious. It’s still there.
Likewise, If we mean well, we think good, we act good, good things will come. And even if it doesn’t comes our way, what’s there to lose? There would definitely be some satisfaction to it.

Over the years, I notice that, the more I worry, the more worries came before me, the more I doubted, the more doubts came before me, the more I distrusted people, the more lies and dishonesty came before me. However the more positive I was, more positive things come to me. And since then, I try and try to just see the best in people, do the best I can, even if it’s not by actions, the thought of wanting to make that difference has indeed made a huge difference in my life.

When I think of these positive beautiful thoughts, and when I act on them, do I expect anything in return ? No!
So for me it’s been a journey of surprise, surprise. And I’m always going to be surprise even in the future as I never know what will come my way.
After all, it’s life and well, we are all humans. At time of distress, we might tend to attract the wrong things. All we can do is try.

So, If you aren’t getting what you want or living the life you want. Start noticing, what it is that you mind is focusing on. What is it that you are constantly thinking of. And maybe start attracting what you want to be attracting.

Well these are just my thoughts.. What do you think ?

What I See May Not Be What You See

A few weeks back, I sat on the balcony of this restaurant in PJ for dinner. This place had the most comfortable couch. As I tilted my head up I look at the clear sky, I saw 2 stars. The longer I stared at the sky and on that same spot, the more stars came before my eyes. I found this so magical so I turned over to a friend who was with me and asked him to look up for a while, and shared what I experience but all he could see was the first 2 stars I first saw. A part of him felt I was seeing things or it was just my imagination. As despite how long he looked at that clear sky, he didn’t see any more than that 2 prominent stars.

I wasn’t sure what I saw was real so I went back there again a week later and with another friend. Sat in the same place and asked this friend to look up , and see what he noticed. And how many stars he could see. He started with 3 stars on that night and the numbers started growing the longer he stared at that same spot. He experience the same thing I did.

I realize then, some of the best teachings in life, comes from nature itself. Mother Nature teaches us a lot if only we put time to listen and learn from Her.

Like from this teaching, I learned that sometimes, when we are faced with a problem, what we tend to see just a picture that comes before us. We act on it, and we fail. Usually it’s because we didn’t take the time to see the whole picture, to study the situation and see the possible ways to act on it.

Also sometimes, in a situation, we may perceive differently compare to another. And the way we act on it could probably differ from another person. Does that mean we are wrong ? Or are they wrong? It could be both, it could be neither as sometimes it’s merely approaching a situation in differently style.
Yesterday was of a weird day emotionally for me. As I had a long conversation with my best friend over dinner, it just got me thinking a lot about how differently each individual view people and view life itself . What we experience is so different from others and as much as we’d like to share, it’s sometimes can be so hard to explain it to .
I know I have felt that way. It's strange to think that no matter how much I try to describe the way I'm feeling in a certain situation, there is literally no way that I could truly convey the complexity of my emotional response to someone who hasn't experienced it.
Anyways, on a clear night, try to sit in an open place and look up at the sky, and count the stars, and as few as it may seem to be at first, stare a little longer on the same spot and see your numbers grow.
See what thoughts come in your mind. You’d be surprise 

Well, that is my take on this.

Cheers! 


The picture above is an optical picture. Did you notice the face of the man first ? Or later? Or can you not see it at all?
Does the mean it’s not there?

Letting Go

Why is it so hard to let go?
I am sure many of us have felt this way where we are faced with a situation where we want to let go but it’s just so hard.

We fail to realize that what is ours today, was somebody else's yesterday and will be somebody else's tomorrow.
This could refer to our past, an incident, a person we love, a position we hold, a job we do, a house we lived in for years, or a car, etc.
Is letting go a bad thing to do? It never is. Or at least in most situations that I can think of tells me it isn’t

Letting go of something or someone simply means something better is coming our way.
As the famous saying by Alexander Graham Bell goes, “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”

A friend mentioned the other day, she was finding it so hard to let go of her role as a manager for her team as she feels it’s like her baby and though she's gotten promoted to a Regional Manager. It just seems hard for her to let go not knowing how the team is going to take off without her and whether it will be all okay with a new person.
Usually what makes it hard to let go is when we have a strong attachment to something or someone, or the passion in something we do.

Is it good to have attachments? Some would say no and some would say yes.
I choose to say it all depends on what it is, and what’s the reason. As at this age and time, it’s pretty hard to be completely detached from everything.
However, I feel that even if we can’t be detached, the least we should do is, to learn to let go when and if it’s meant to go, knowing it wasn’t ours to begin with and that we gave our best.

I am still learning to let go off things in my life, especially things that are out of control and that are meant to go. I am keeping an open mind, having that faith, that there was a reason to why I had to let it go and only time will show.
