“Like attracts like”
Why is it that some people seem to have nothing but bad luck and others seem to succeed in everything they put their minds to?
Well, here you see the unwritten law of attraction at work:
when you think negative, negative things will come to you and when you think positive, positive things will come to you.
I can already hear the sceptici: oh so all I have to do is think that I will win the lottery and I will win it?
No, it doesn’t work like that.
It means that when you think positive, your mind is seeing solutions, is seeing opportunities, believes in success. You think differently, you act differently, people see somebody who is self assured and so they believe in him/her too. And even the universe is sending all the right things your way. It’s becoming a circle of positive energy, believe, trust.
Is this a scientifically proven law? A lot of research has already been done, and is still going on, on these “Laws of Attraction”. So there is a lot of scientific literature available, if you want to go deeper into it. It may more difficult to prove than mathematics but on the other hand not everything can be proven in actual test results and that doesn’t mean it’s not true or not working.
Here I just want to get your attention on the fact that: how you think, act, speak,….really defines the outcome of your actions!!!
Just imagine:
you want to talk to your boss about a raise because it’s been a while since your last wage increase.
You are really afraid because you’re not sure, you imagine all the worst scenario’s, you have nightmares because of it, you keep saying to yourself: he/she is never going to give me a raise, you finally have the meeting, you’re nervous, you speak too quietly or too loud, you defend yourself, you think that it would be unfair if you don’t get it,…all negative thoughts and actions. Guess what? You probably won’t walk out that office with a pay raise under your arm!
Now imagine the same situation completely different:
you are very motivated, you delivered a good job so far, you are happy at your job, you want to have even more challenges,…and you picture yourself working on that new objective, you believe you can handle it, you sleep well, trusting everything will work out perfectly, you go to your boss, confident, calm, happy, full of positive energy and guess what? I am sure you’ll sell him/her your wish and you’ll walk out of that door with a new goal, new paycheck, and a boss that stands 100% behind you!
Believing, affirming to yourself you can do it, having faith is already half the battle!!
Will everything always turn out as you imagined it? No, not always but when you stay positive and not start sulking that you didn’t get what you had in mind, you will see that in the end you got something even better!! You don’t always see it immediately but life has a way of giving us what we need, not always what we want at that specific time.
Being positive, seeing the silver lining, always looking for the opportunities in a situation makes your life a whole different ball game!
So the choice is yours:
Be negative, sceptic, look for the “bad luck”, keep complaining, blaming, waiting….and guess what? You’ll never be happy, you’ll feel no joy at all.
Or:
Be positive, believe, look for all the happy moments in life, be grateful, take your responsibilities, take action,…and yes you guessed it right!!! You’ll live a fulfilled, joyful life!!
Tips to start living the latter:
Keep your head up! Literally! Nod when you doubt and say yes, that’s possible even though you’re not seeing the answer yet. But it will come as long as you open yourself up for possibilities. Looking down makes you feel heavy, you literally don’t see any way out.
Repeat the affirmations that you have written down. Put them everywhere and repeat them throughout the day.
Visualize yourself in successful, happy situations, see how things will work out! In detail! You’ll see your own movie and your subconscious mind believes it!
Your subconscious believes what your conscious mind is saying whether it’s true or not.
So consciously say to yourself: yes I can do…, Yes I will …, Yes I am …
Act ‘as if’ until you actually are what you want to be!
“Fake it till you make it” is another expression that is worth considering for a moment.
That doesn’t mean you have to lie, or cheat, no, just believe in yourself that you can do it and in the end your mind will accept this and present you all the tools you need to actually succeed!!
Your thoughts are very powerful!!! If you would know the force of a negative thought, you would never think negatively again!!!!!
So use it to your advantage and think positive!!!!!
Trust yourself, trust in the force of others helping you, trust in the universe sending you the opportunities that can help you realize your dream.
Wishing you all a positive vibe, positive mindset which will result in a positive life!
