Law Of Attraction & Me

If you haven't heard of the Law Of Attraction, I'd suggestion you read about it at Wikipedia or better yet, go and watch the movie "The Secret".

Many of the world's greatest leaders, both past and present, know and apply it's principles and almost all religions preach similar teachings.

As an atheist, I approached "The Secret" and the Law Of Attraction cautiously - thinking that it was very cult-like, but after understanding it's principles, I realized that it is just a state of mind that successful people have that help them achieve greatness.

Throughout my life, I believe that the Law Of Attraction has given practically everything I had a passion or desire for. Even as a child and throughout my teen years, I unknowingly applied the principles of the Law Of Attraction and I can safely say that I got everything I had asked for.

When I was about 8 or 9 years old, my father bought some audio tapes about building self-esteem for himself. I listened to them a couple of times (mainly out of boredom) and some of the techniques described in the program closely mirrored the techniques as taught by the Law Of Attraction proponents.

As I grew up, if I found myself wanting a particular thing, I would imagine what it would be like having that thing - and how great it would feel if I had possessed it. I would do this every night before I went to bed and I can tell you, it worked wonders.

Here is a brief list of some of the things that I believe came about because of the Law of Attraction (keep in mind that some of these things that were manifested were things that I didn't tell anyone about - I simply wished for them, imagined owning them, felt how it felt like to have it and they appeared):

• I had the chance to do something that I always wanted to do as a child - to do some acting (I landed several acting gigs - but I soon found that it wasn't really for me)
  
• Getting into the university I wanted to go to (even though I was initially rejected)
• Enrolling in the degree I wanted to be in (I was initially enrolled to study Life Sciences, but I was able to move to into Computer Sciences despite being initially being rejected for the program)
  
• Getting a car (my father got me a new car even though I never told him I wanted one....though I secretly imagined having and driving one)
• Having the opportunity to live on the campus dorm (I lived only 15 minutes away from the university, but I saw the brochure about living on campus and I imagined what it would be like to live on campus....my father eventually suggested that I live on campus and that he would pay for it even though I never told him of my desire to live on campus)
• I had a fantastic social life during university (I was socially awkward during my high school years - very shy, very introverted....but I kept imagining what it would be like to be constantly surrounded by friends and having the time of my life with them - and I experienced just that!)
  
• Finding the girl of my dreams (for the entire summer before university started, I wanted to find the girl of my dreams...before going to bed, I'd imagine life with the girl of my dreams - keep in mind that throughout high school I was practically frightened to talk to girls...within 4 months I had the perfect girl in my arms!)
• I landed my first dream job (working in the government sector as a computer programmer...this one sort of just fell into my lap - I didn't really ask anyone nor did I really try very hard to find it....it just happened)
• I landed my second dream job (I eventually fell out-of-love with my first dream job and now I am currently loving my second dream job)
  

There are also many other things I believe I have manifested throughout my life (too numerous to list), but these were just some of the bigger events that have occurred in my life. At this point in life, all I can say is "Thank You" to the universe for allowing me to live such a privileged life..."Thank You" for all it has done for me to keep me happy and for making me look forward to each and every day.

What's My Situation Now?

I'm 29 years old and I've been happily married for almost three years now and we are proud home owners.

Since I entered the workforce, I have found myself caught up with the daily hassles and over the last couple of years, you can say that I sort of lost the desire to attain the lifestyle of my dreams. It was all just about making the money, paying the bills, and trying to keep ourselves entertained.

Things were comfortable, which is probably the reason my wife and I didn't dream big nor did we have any really big goals in life. There was really nothing pushing us to go for more.

About two months ago my wife and I watched "The Secret" and we were both blown away. After the movie was over, we stayed up late and talked about how we both unknowingly used the power of the Law Of Attraction in our lives up to now.

There were countless anecdotes that we shared with each other and it really got us thinking.

Since then, my wife has taken some inspired action and will begin her own business on the side next year and I've also been taking some inspired action myself.

So What's With This Site?

I've noticed that lately there has been an explosion of blogs and website related to the Law Of Attraction and each one gives great advice and suggestions on how to manifest things we want.

But I find it odd that with such a wealth of authors and bloggers telling us how to manifest the things we want, why is it that they never share with us the things that they've manifested? This is perhaps one of the things that interests me the most - seeing the success of others and seeing the Law Of Attraction in action. And so, this is one of the things I'm going to do with this site.

I'm no expert nor do I claim that I know everything about the Law Of Attraction, but I'm willing to share with my readers some of the things I'm currently manifesting along with the things I have successfully manifested.

This site is also a way for me to continually re-ignite the fire within me - to constantly remind me of where I want to go and where I'm heading and to keep me on the path I have set forth.

On the column to the right, you will see three categories:

1. Successfully Manifested - this will list the things that I have successfully manifested since the start of this site
   
2. Currently Manifesting - this will list the things that I am currently manifesting and will be on a shorter time frame (probably within a year)
3. Long-Term Manifests - these are the overall goals I wish to achieve in life and will take longer for me to manifest (several years), but I am always conscious of the fact that all my shorter-time frame goals will lead me to these bigger goals

As things are realized or accomplished, they will be moved into the appropriate list and when I think of new things to manifest, they will be added to the appropriate list.

I'll also write and post articles that relate to the lifestyle I desire - such things as luxury vacation spots, fine dining, mansions of sale and a whole host of other things. Hopefully by constantly exposing myself to these things, it'll help me manifest things a little faster.

Hopefully they'll be an encouragement for you, the reader as well.

And so there it is - it's my journey and my path to my dreams. Are you ready for the ride?
