Imagine That It’s a Month From Today
Have you ever thought something into existence? Either in a good way or a bad way? Is there a time in your life that you saw someone and you didn’t want to speak to them so you thought really hard and mentally said to yourself, “Don’t look at me,” and sure enough they did? It was almost like they heard you thinking.
Well, that’s what so many people are saying today that believe in The Law of Attraction. The premise is that everything first begins with a thought and then the thought manifests itself into reality. Whether you think I want a red sweater or you think I don’t want a red sweater, you’re thinking about a red sweater and that’s what you’re gonna get.
The theory has been around for a long time. Back in 1937 a man named Napoleon Hill wrote a book called “Think and Grow Rich” which says
“Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.”
After WWII, a man named Jose Silva from Texas began experimenting with meditation and consciously lowering brain waves to get in touch with universal intelligence. He went on to create a training course to teach others how to do this. Then there’s Esther and Jerry Hicks also in Texas who believe they channel a group of non-physical beings called Abraham who pretty much say the same thing. If you think something, it will happen. More recently, an Australian woman named Rhonda Byrne wrote a book that’s topping the charts called “The Secret” and there’s even a movie with the same name.
All these people believe that if we use our thoughts to prepare the way, our lives will be easier, more fulfilling, more abundant and more satisfying. They say if we consciously choose our direction, then things don’t have to happen in our lives by accident.
How does this theory relate to online dating? I thought you’d never ask. Let’s say for a moment that there’s truth in all of this. I know that when I think something through really well, things always go smoother. If you’re seriously looking for a new partner, are you saying to yourself, “I’ll never find anyone as good as my friend has,” or “I’ll never get a date” ? That’s exactly what will happen. Change your focus. You know that you’re a terrific person and certainly worthy of any person you’d meet, so stop being negative. Catch yourself and think positive thoughts. Think about the things you really want to have happen - imagine what it would be like if it was like that already? Can you see it happening?
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to give this a try - just in case they’re on to something.
