The Law of Attraction and Negative People
Posted by admin | Filed under positive thoughts, the law of attraction, the laws of attraction
This post was prompted by a comment I received on this blog that was negative in context. It was from someone who did not care or seem to believe information on this blog.
This is a very interesting circumstance considering that the law of attraction states that you attract what comes into your experience. So somewhere, somehow I was attracting negative comments or people according to the law.
Perhaps when I put myself out there for the world to see, I had some element of fear that others would reject or put down my posts. In my reality, it does not matter what another thinks of this blog. Simply put, if they do not like it, it is not for them and they should not be reading it.
Another interesting aspect of receiving this comment was that I did not ask for this person’s opinion. The law of attraction teaches that if you are not asked for your opinion, why bother giving it, it is yours. My conclusion to this area is that perhaps leaving any blog open for comments is asking for good and bad comments. Your thoughts?
My reaction to the comment was of course the most important thing. We cannot control others, but we can control how we react to them. I must say my first reaction was a big laugh, which I think is a good sign, and then I just let the comment go.
I or no one else can every change another’s beliefs a comment back to this person would have been a very large waste of energy. It amazes me how much anger or negativity a person has. Enough anger to spend their time leaving comments that are unsavory must way heavy on ones energy and lifestyle.
The conclusion to dealing with negative people should they come your way is simple. It helps to realize it is THEIR opinion and you cannot change it. It also always helps to consider the source of where the negativity is coming from.

The Law of Attraction and The Power of Positive Thinking
Posted by admin | Filed under law of attraction, positive thoughts
Many people of spiritual beliefs seem to have problems with The Law of Attraction. Being brought up in a certain religious background I can understand there concerns. However, I have not seen many compare any manuscripts on The Law of Attraction to Norman Vincent Peale’s “The Power of Positive Thinking.”
I have read that many believe that Peale was out of line and in some cases a blasphemer:)
Those people are entitled to their opinion and it is not the intent of this to challenge that.
My goal is to show the great comparisons of The Law of Attraction with Peale’s beliefs and advice portrayed in “The Power of Positive Thinking.” In a small publication that I have by Peale it goes through several areas that all seem to relate to The Law of Attraction with biblical teachings.
The first area talks about believing in yourself, it states that if there is no belief and low self confidence that these things take your true power away. The quote from the bible that he uses in this chapter is “If God be for us, who can be against us.” Putting this in Law of Attraction terms if source energy is delivering then what can be against us?
Another area goes into how to have constant energy. In this section it speaks of negative emotion and how it takes your energy away. It relates to the Bible by saying that the overall point of the Bible is life, and life is vitality. In Law of Attraction terms, it speaks often of how negative emotions will leave you in an unenergized place making it more difficult to achieve your desires.
The section on how to create your own happiness is startling in the comparisons between the spirituality and the Law of Attraction. The basis of this section is that the only person that decides your happiness is you, much like what the Law of Attraction states. The Biblical verse that is used is “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” It speaks of everyday repeating the things you want for the day, much like the Law of Attraction states.
Although there are many more sections that I will cover at a later time, I would like to focus on one last section entitled “Expect the Best and Get It.” I believe the name says it all. In this section it states:
“Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing [now get that – the one thing] that ensures the successful outcome of your venture.” When you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to you.”
Like the title of this section, the quote itself says quite a bit, including mentioning the Law of Attraction itself. One of the Biblical quotes used in this section is “If ye have faith nothing is impossible to you.”
As you can see from this brief comparison there are many similarities between Peale’s work and works on the Law of Attraction. There are also many scriptures within the Bible that relate well to the teachings of the Law of Attraction.
I take no side on which way is the best way; the purpose of this is to enlighten others, as well as myself, to many similarities of religion, spirituality, and the Law of Attraction.

When Belief Stands In The Way Of Desire
Posted by admin | Filed under Personal Development, positive thoughts, self help
Many times throughout life you are faced with decisions, decisions that may be tedious to make. However, if ones beliefs matched their desires there would be no difficult decisions.
Achieving true alignment with oneself takes time and if one has not mastered the skill out comes those tedious decisions. When these times appear, one could be in a state to make decisions about beliefs that they have made a reality or that they may have been brought up with.
A good example of this would be a money situation. An individual wants freedom and desires to set their own schedule, so they start their own business. The business is not as profitable as they need it to be, so a new belief begins to emerge. The belief is that money is needed and is more important then their dream or desire. The individual then gives up their business and goes back to a life where the original belief is let go. Their freedom is let go and they feel negative because they felt they have failed in achieving their true desire.
This can be a devastating experience and the feeling of failure will lurk in the individual’s current situation. The original desire was for freedom and setting their own schedule. Due to a new reality that individual made, they are left with a sense of hopelessness and victim of circumstance.
The key to preventing a new belief from standing in the way of true desires can be as simple as you want it to be, however an element of sacrifice may be needed. You would not establish an original desire for example, freedom, if you did not believe you could achieve it in some way. Therefore the element of sacrifice needs to be letting go of the immediate now and maintaining forward thinking.
Any decision or situation can be as easy or as hard as you make it, but once you make a decision the goal should be to not look back. Stay true to the original belief and if new needs or beliefs surface, evaluate them.
For example, if the need for more money surfaces is there a way to achieve it without letting go of your original desire? Or if you are forward thinking, can you see yourself in the future with more money from your current endeavor. This type of thinking can realign your beliefs with your true desires.
If one maintains this forward thinking in their immediate now, what looks like sacrifice can be reframed into a step in achieving ones true desire.

Enjoy Your Life: Change Your Point of View
Posted by admin | Filed under Personal Development, positive thoughts, self help
“Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars.”- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts
If you’ve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again?
In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.
So why nurture an optimist’s point of view? And why now?
Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.
On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well.
Here’s how optimists are in action and researches that back up why it really pays to be an optimist:
Optimists expect the best
The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events, which will last a long time and undermine everything they do, are their own fault.
The truth is optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world. What differs is the way they explain their misfortune—it’s the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case.
Optimists tend to focus on and plan for the ‘problem’ at hand. They use ‘positive reinterpretation.’ In other words, they most likely reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are unfazed by bad situation, they perceive it is a challenge and try harder.
They won’t say “things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “If I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.”
Positive expectancies of optimists also predict better reactions during transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies and unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities instead of obstacles.
People respond positively to optimists
Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with.
Optimism seems a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted while those who spread gloom, panic and hysteria are treated unfavorably.
In life, these people often win elections; get voted most congenial and sought for advice.
When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher
Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.
They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.
Optimists are healthier and live longer
Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body’s ability to fight disease.
Optimists’ health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts.
So why not be an optimist today? And think positively towards a more fulfilled life.
Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side?

Dealing With Difficult People and The Law Of Attraction
Posted by admin | Filed under Personal Development, positive thoughts, the law of attraction
I am sure I am not the only one that has found myself surrounded by difficult people. These people can range from a new group you have just been introduced to, to your own family. The latter I believe is more difficult because they are your family.
When you are surrounded by these people you may feel negative vibes, hear negative comments, and feel the need to escape. Those feelings, according to the law of attraction, are your guidance system telling you this is not the right path for you.
What do you do if it is a new group of people you have been subjected to or if it is your family themselves? How do you separate yourself from these negative surroundings without offending or burning bridges?
To answer this we must first look at the Law of Attraction and what it says about these negative people or surroundings. It is said that by our thoughts we have created these situations. For me, and for many others I am sure, that is a difficult pill to swallow. However, if that is the fact we must pay attention to our thoughts prior to interacting with people.
If we find ourselves in these situations where there may be negativity our thoughts must have led us there. An example evaluation of these thoughts could be “I hope these people are not unfriendly” “What if we have nothing in common” or “I hope this family get together was not like the last one.”
These thoughts have created this negative environment you may find yourself in. So prior to these events a correction of thought is needed. An example of corrective thoughts may be “I am so glad my family and I will have great conversations today” or “I am excited to meet these new people and make some positive friends.”
This way of thinking will encourage a helpful environment in the future, however what if you are in a negative situation now? What thoughts do you think, what actions do you do, to create a negative environment into a positive one?
If you find yourself in that situation where you are surrounded by negativity your first thoughts or actions should not be negative, this will just fuel the fire. You must look for the tiny positives of the situation and many times it may not be the people you are with.
An example of looking for these positives to focus on and think about may be “I am in a beautiful environment” “I like the shirt that she is wearing; it is very colorful and vibrant.” These thoughts of course may not fix any negativity of others, but it is not your job to fix, it is your goal to focus on the positive. These little thoughts will lead to larger, more positive thoughts.
If all else fails, separate yourself from the situation. Go to the bathroom and reframe your thoughts, make a phone call to a positive friend, or leave all together. I have been in these situations and although the tips seem minimal you will be surprised at how much they help you in your feeling of relief.
One key point to remember, as mentioned earlier in this article, is to think positive thoughts before going to events and meeting people ahead of time. The more that can frame your thoughts in a positive manner, the more positive experiences you will have.

Happy as You Want to Be
Posted by admin | Filed under Personal Development, positive thoughts, self help
Almost everyone have heard the hit single ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferiin’s simple message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.
Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life.
One of the better things ever said is – ‘The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change’, and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.
Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with
Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also more healthy.
To be happy is relatively easy, just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.
There are several ways by which you can do this.
Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.
News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can’t start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.
Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.
Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family about it. As they also say -’Laughter is the best medicine’.
Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.
Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.
Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new everyday. Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons. And could also give us more opportunities in the future.
Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.
Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.
These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.
And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says that, “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

Sometimes Your Brain Doesn’t Work :)
Posted by admin | Filed under mindset, positive thoughts
When you want to attract things in your life, you have to direct your thoughts in the direction of what those desires are.
At times it may feel as if your brain is not up to par, you could perhaps be tired, or just thoughtless. This can be a dangerous thing if you are trying to attract the right things in your life.
Indifference to things is worse then hate, sadness, or any negative emotion. You are in a state of not caring and wandering thoughts. How are you going to attract the things you want if you couldn’t care less about anything? You won’t!
There are some ways to generate what you want into your life even in times where your feelings are gone. These require effort in positive manner to achieve your thoughts for creation.
This task of changing you mind from indifference to positively active should not be considered a chore. It has to be a welcome acceptance of self-improvement and excitement. The task itself is simple if you do not view it as something you “have” to do.
In order to shift your mind from indifference to positive thoughts you must evoke emotion. In the beginning it does not matter whether it is positive or negative emotion, as long as you are feeling something.
We prefer positive emotion, however if you evoke negative emotions, you may always acknowledge the fact that they are not what you want and shift them over to what you do want.
To evoke these emotions pick a memory or a future goal, how does it make you feel and if so how? Once you find one that evokes strong emotion focus on the thought and the feeling associated with it.
If it is positive stick with it, hold on to it and think about it. This is the quickest way to bring your mind back into alignment with what you want.
If it is a negative emotion or thought, pick what is negative about it and shift it to the positive and focus on that.
By evoking any emotion at all you can pull yourself out of indifference and into a thought pattern that can bring about your wildest desires.

Your Choice On How You Feel
Posted by admin | Filed under Personal Development, positive thoughts, self help
Many people when faced with adversity or negative circumstances often times believe that they are just unlucky, being punished, or some other fallacy.
Those beliefs are what make people’s situations worse. It is their choice to suffer, it is their choice on how they are going to choose to deal with any given circumstance.
People do not like to hear these things, and why would they? Accountability is not always comfortable. However, no matter what the reality of any given circumstance is, it is always your choice on how you are going to view it.
There are only two choices in a situation, the victim, the negative aspect, or the survivor, the positive aspect. Even in the worst of situations any individual is given the freedom to choose which aspect he or she will use.
I have heard people say in response to this… “Well, what about acts of another against another of violence, how do those people make a choice?” The harsh but enlightening reality is that when it is all said and done those people can make a choice on how they are going to view the person that hurt them and the situation.
If individuals chose the negative view of another or of a situation then only that individual will suffer the consequences.
People need to really think about what hate and negative views do to another and then perhaps they would stop. For example if a person is hurt by another, does hating the person that hurt them doing any good? The reality is the person who hurt the individual probably does not care about what they think or they would not have hurt them in the first place.
If there are ill side effects of an occurrence or situation, they may come out subconsciously, but it is still the choice of the person experiencing these things on how they are going to deal with these ill effects, consciously.
There are two choices, hate that person and live with the constant negativity of hate in your life. Or acknowledge the occurrence as bad, but live in the now and realize all of the positive aspects of your life even if it is the simple fact that you are still alive.
