The trick to my favorite ever Disney Movie quite: "keep moving forward"...lies in the magic of a seed. You take a little seed and you plant it right? You put it in soil and you water it and give it a vitamin and leave it in the sun where it can begin to recreate itself. If you have never grown anything from a seed before just create a mental picture of the little seed buried under the heavy damp dirt and just sitting on your patio in the sun. You could even place another container beside it with dirt but no seed and to the average person, the two pots appear the same. Without knowing the power of the seed, you may think the two pots contain the same exact potential when in fact, they are destined for different outcomes. The pot with the seed is about to experience a remarkable act of creation. The pot of dirt on the other hand is due to experience whatever arbitrary condition it falls upon. Some bit of dandilion or other thing may drift into it and cause something to grow but it also may not. Ultimately, with care and time, the seed will develop into something new. That will be a gift of life...an act of birth and creation.
The pot that is about to experience the arbitrary conditions of "whatever happens" truly represents how I spent a lot of time in my life. I wandered through life in an inaffective manner causing a series of events...some with good outcomes and others not so good. Still other outcomes I never even saw. Who knows what those actions may have produced...I am unaware. Likewise, my life and experiences are partially due to the choices and actions of others' affect upon me. We all intertwine on this planet and where our lives touch in any way has the potential to create some affect or effect. After reading "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, I became aware of how the Law of Attraction works in my life and everyone's life. I began to understand many things I had been trying to understand for years in my life...to no avail. I clearly connected the failings of past endeavors to my ability to use the LoA in these situations. Without knowing it, I had been drawing into my life many negative situations, people, circumstances and outcomes. It is frightening for me to think of the path I had been on for so long...and where it may have taken me had I not been saved by the knowledge of the Secret to life which is applying the Law of attraction.
I am so thankful for the fact that attraction exists. Attraction works everyday...every hour of the day and in every situation. If I go through my day with negativity as my focal point, my situation grows increasingly negative over the course of the day. BUT, when I turn that negative self talk off...and count my gratitude...and really say "THANK YOU"!...I manifest the greatest outcomes. Everytime I apply this it always works without fail. In my lifetime, I have always drawn people to me and this is due to the fact that deep inside, I do have a warm and loving heart...my soul just radiates the joy of life. BUT...I have often chosen to allow insecurity and fear and negative thinking to weaken that glow and that radiance. Because this has been a lingering pattern, I have created many damaging situations and circumstances for myself. Thankfully, these are within my ability to manage and I feel happy right now that I can manage them. That being said, I feel I am in a bit of a dry spell lately. I desire to turn it around.
Changing the patterns of negativity can be difficult. You may wonder where to start. I wondered how I was going to start...how I was going to overcome certain feelings that seemed to intense for me to work through. But with time and patience and consistency and practice, I was able to turn them around completely and make my negatives work for me instead of against me. The primary place I had difficulty applying the LoA back in August of 2010 was in my relationship with my husband. This is the situation to which I am primarily referring in this paragraph. If you feel that nothing works but it needs to work...or you need to have more positive feelings about a person than you are having...well, that can very hard to manifest! But with time and patience and consistent practice, I was able to focus more on the behavior of his that I loved and less on what I did not love. I came to accept ...I mean REALLY accept the parts of him that I would never be able to change. Only he can do that. We can only ever change ourselves. If others are going to change anything, it will be in their own time and by their own choosing.
So now it is May. My life has changed a lot since last August. Most of the changes I know have been internal. So now that I feel internally changed, I am empowered to recreate my physical life. I now give myself permission to do so. This looks and feels like a period of inactivity that I am experiencing...and it feels like that too. When this "lull" comes along, the only thing to do is refocus my energy on my thoughts and feelings of happiness, joy, gratitude and hopes. Time spent in silent meditation can only improve this period where although it cannot be seen, the seed of wonderful things have been planted. The seeds are there in the soil. I have planted many. They are growing and sprouting and in different stages of creation at this point in time. These hopes and dreams and future glories are due to present themselves at just the right time.
