Abundance

Today we went shopping to a supermarket and again I was amazed with the abundance we can see all around us. And as my credit card still works we were able to buy all the things I wanted. And it was strange, as before I used to think about that I didn’t have enough money, didn’t have enough income and that kind of ruined our shopping. And I never understood my partner at that time. And maybe I’m stupid buying all this stuff today while I have no clue where to get the money to pay for it when my credit card is due. But no, I don’t think so, as I’m starting to see what the ideas of the Law of Attraction are about, or at least the ideas I got related to that from the 30 day law of attraction program.

You see, one of the things i realized was that it wouldn’t really make any difference whether I would worry about where to get the money or not. We need the stuff anyhow and also buying a few more things or a few more things of a more expensive brand won’t really change anything in our financial situation. And before of course I knew this also rationally. But I didn’t feel it and therefore often was very worried and negative going shopping. So besides not having the money, or not enough, or not enough in my perception, I just made things worse by focusing on that. So before that often ruined my day, my shopping, my mood, the mood of my partner and many more things.

And today was different, which was weird, as actually I’ve never been in a worse financial shape than now and I still don’t see any improvement in that either. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t like it and it does affect my life in a negative way in some way. But unlike before I am now starting to refuse to let it ruin my life, ruin my day. And this means also that I see many more positive things around me, like today again I saw the abundance in the supermarket, all the products that are there in quantities I or my partner and I or the people in our household even together with friends could never consume. And again I saw many people behind all this, the service staff and a bit of the supply chains behind all this, behind the ‘providing me my food and other daily needs’. And I can only see a small part, as while thinking about these things there are thousands and thousands, maybe even ten thousand or more people involved in providing me with the stuff we bought today.Those few boxes and plastic bags with household stuff like foods and toilet stuff and cleaning stuff.

And again, don’t get me wrong as I don’t know where this goes with my life and my finance and if this law of attraction stuff (crap?) saying something like that with more positive vibrations I attract more positive stuff. But while writing this somehow it does already. As there are visiting more people this house recently for example, and that’s one of the things I wanted. And I don’t have so many fights with my partner anymore.

And no matter what, no matter this little tiny voice in my mind somewhere saying i’m stupid with this overspending, I do feel happier and I did have a happier day seeing more positive things. And is it really overspending? I work hard enough and I would love to pay all the dues I have. But the work is just not paying enough (yet?) and other money is not flowing in yet, so indeed, why not have a more positive mindset and be happy. What can be wrong with that?

Teamwork

Yes, today I watched another movie. And the more I look around me the more I see that everything is teamwork, literally everything. In everything we do, in everything we receive, in everything that is there, there are many people involved, all contributing to the things we have.

So yes, I’m starting to become grateful for that, that I don’t have to grow my own food or have to shoot some animal for meat. And that’s even the simplest thing. What about the computer I’m using now or the TV I was watching earlier. Or just the electricity to make the lights shine or the simple native bed that I will sleep in later. Even that was made, was made possible by the effort of many people.

So thank you, all the people who make my life easier, even though we don’t always see that, feel that.

Negative thoughts

This is day 29 of my thirty day Law of Attraction program and together with e.g. what i found in Think and Grow Rich I am starting to realize how many negative thoughts I am thinking most of the time. And I am starting to see what a powerful destructive force that indeed probably is. And it is so hidden and it is so linked to what I have been taught, to what we have been taught all my life, all our lives. And it’s all about what i, what we, ‘should do’ and ‘shouldn’t do’. It’s all about ‘the law’, whether from my upbringing or whether the real law in society or the things that are commonly considered ‘good’ or ‘bad’.

You see, for most of what I want, what I desire, the first thing I’m thinking is something like ‘I cannot afford that’, or ‘that’s improper behavior’ or ‘that’s against the law’ or ‘my parents considered that wrong’ or <fill in whatever you are thinking>.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying what we are taught is wrong or that the law is wrong or that my parents were wrong or something like that and I don’t want to promote criminal behavior or something. I’m just noticing how many negative thoughts I am producing around all kinds of things. And yes, ‘thoughts are things’ and they produce results. So if my thoughts are negative, if your thoughts are negative, I’m quite sure the produce negative results.

And I notice it’s so hidden, it happens on such a deep level, so deep in my subconscious brain. And today to me it started with something like “I shouldn’t use my credit card to get money as there are a lot of charges involved” (and this will get me into further financial trouble). And this is basically true. But then I realized that there is no more food in the house and that there are people depending on me. But on a more deeper level, I believe that the world economy is stuck because the money is not flowing anymore. So who says it’s a bad thing in general that if the bank charges me a lot for getting this money that it has a negative effect. And behind this are some other negative beliefs, like ‘banks are bad and abuse me with their charges’. Is that true? Maybe, but also maybe not. Most money earned by banks I’m quite sure is used to pay their employees or pay other people, and yes a lot may also go to places I don’t like or agree with or you don’t like or agree with. But who decides what is a good place and what is a bad place? So in this case I just don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that money I control, a choice I make would have an effect that I like in the broader sense or an effect that i don’t like.

You know, I’m starting to believe that indeed everything is so connected and that we really can’t know what actual effect our actions have. Or what is actually ‘good’ or ‘bad’ in the end.

So for now let’s examine every thought and just think about it whether it is a negative thought or a positive thought. And at least focus on the positive thoughts, not the negative ones. And yes, i think we all know deep inside what is a negative thought for us and what is a positive thought for us.

Power

Gentle powerWe have the book “The concise 48 laws of Power” of Robert Green and when I first saw it and read from it I didn’t like it, because power has (still) to me a very negative feeling around it. And most of the book I don’t like, because, well, until now, I had the feeling it’s about the negative, the power from fear kind of power. It is weird thought that the word power has something negative in it, because my core qualities are “Joyful, loving and powerful”. So maybe that’s also one of the reasons i am where i am, as I have resisted, and still do I think, one of my core qualities, one of my core talents.

Anyhow, somehow, yesterday or two or three days ago I opened the book again (I often follow my instinct and just open books if I feel ‘something’) I found a remarkable quote in the book:

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if a man will sue thee at the law, an take away thy coat, let them have their cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” – Jesus Christ (Matthew 5: 38-41)

So it seems that power is something different than I have in mind. It seems certainly not to be the thing that I thought it was: overruling other people by force. It is something else and even a very useful thing, something people expect, even need as I also found out with my team that expected direction and clarity from me, where I considered those things something like applying my ‘power’.

Something to ponder more about.

And how do you look at power? Do you exercise it? Do you like to follow powerful people? Do you like to have power? How do you use it?.

Law of Attraction

Law of AttractionAs you may know I’m doing the thirty day program from the Law of Attraction and today I read this as the text to start the day:

“”If there’s an opportunity to praise, I’m going to praise. If there’s an opportunity to criticize, I’’m going to keep my mouth shut and try to meditate. If I feel like criticizing I’ll say, here Kitty, Kitty, and I’ll pet my cat til that feeling goes away.” Within 30 days of mild effort, you can go from one of the most resistant people on the planet, to one of the least resistant people on the planet. And then those who are watching you will be amazed at the amount of manifestations that begin to occur in your physical experience.”Abraham Hicks

And I’m starting to see what all these things mean, what the Law of Attraction or The Secret or Think and Grow Rich or all the other books and courses and philosophies for a better life are all about. So after waking up and realizing that I am starting to understand or now really understand what it’s all about. It’s indeed about just being happy, no matter what. Focusing on the positive, no matter what. And I never understood those things and it has been a long journey for me. But it is what this site is all about, trying to make you understand earlier, make you experience earlier that you can be happy, no matter what.

You see, it is so weird to see that my circumstances somehow have never been as bad as they are now, but then I’m just talking about my material circumstances, the amount of money I have as of the moment, or actually I feel I have, or actually don’t have. But I’m more happy than I have ever been, and somehow that’s indeed a choice and I have read about that many times and i never understood, but I’m starting to understand now. And I’m also starting to understand that it is indeed a ‘secret’ as I guess you have to experience it. It cannot be ‘taught’ and as I mentioned earlier, it has been a long journey for me, a journey of searching, something like lifelong searching. And yes, somehow in the back of my mind I’m still scared that I will lose this feeling, this happiness. But somehow I also know you cannot lose something like this.

So how will I share this? It all started a long time ago, I guess when I was a teenager, being gay, being lonely. And last year, about a year ago, I think that’s the point where things started to turn around. And indeed it was the lowest point of my life until then as I felt that I had lost everything, literally everything that was worth living for. So I was about to give up, commit suicide, but somehow that didn’t happen. And then things started to come to me, although even disguised in some very bad things, looking backwards. And it started with some books coming to me, especially the book Think and Grow Rich. And it started with my desire document. But it also started with some kind of decision from me, the decision that things would be different. That indeed as Napoleon Hill states, I would not accept circumstances to define my life, to define how things were going to be.

So yes, this journey is wonderful, as while writing things seem to start falling into place more and more. The things that seem to be contradictory are less contradictory than they appear to be or they are not contradictory at all.

And yes, I’m starting to understand more and more why all those people having these ‘self help type sites’ want to share this kind of experience as that’s what I also want to do now.

But I guess enough for now. Just maybe improve the page about the Law of Attraction with these thoughts, so it can be shared better with you, with people who are not yet where I am now in order to help them on their journey, hopefully increase the speed of their process so they/you can be happier earlier in your life than I am.
