Road 4: The Law of Attraction

Remember when we were in class 11 and 12? How a  major amount of time went into discussing what we want from life. Our ambitions and our life goals. There was this one friend who said that what he did in life was not a concern as long as he earned lots and lots of money. Another friend, who was crazy about computers said that no matter how much he earned he'd stick to computers all his life because it gave him happiness. So his priority was happiness. Everyone had their own separate desires. Money, a magnificent beach house, a BMW, the love of your life and so on. Everyone has a list.

Now a couple of months back I heard about this  law called "The law of Attraction". NO! It is not a law to make you more attractive. The law of attraction is a metaphysical belief that positive or negative thinking brings about positive or negative physical results. It gives you anything and everything you want. What kind of a house you want to live in? Do you want to be a billionaire? What kind of a business do you want to handle? Do you want more success? What do you REALLY want?

Everything that is coming into your life is attracted by your own self. If you think it in your mind you will hold it in your hands. So the law can be summed into three simple words "Thoughts become things".

The more I read about this law the more it fascinated me and I thought I should share this with everyone. I started researching and then came across this documentary called The Secret. It teaches you how to apply the law into daily life in 3 simple steps.

1. Ask: The universe is like a Genie. Ask for whatever you want and it replies "your wish is my command". So if you think that you have a screwed up life then you send out negative vibes into the universe and the universe gives you back more of what you think. If you think that whatever you have in life is great and be thankful for it then again, "your wish is my command". You get more reasons to say that your life is great. So the universe is a giant catalogue, just select your order. Money. Relationship. BMW. Anything. Just make sure that whatever you ask for is believable to your own mind.

2. Answer: No matter what you ask for, the universe will answer. There is no time limit so as to when you will get what you asked for. You get your answer whenever you absolutely believe that you can get what you asked for. How? leave that to the universe to decide.

3. Receive: This is the most important part. You ask and the universe replies to you every single time. It is very important that you realize the opportunity and receive what the universe gives to you. When you are in alignment with what you want you feel wonderful. Its the feeling of passion, enthusiasm and joy. But if you feel sad or angry about not having what you desire its a strong indication that you are not in alignment with what you asked for from the universe. It is when you actually become one with your desires that it manifests into existence. That is when you are ready to receive what you asked for and attract it in your life.

Many of you would be thinking, "Is this actually possible?". Honestly, I don't know. But what I do know is that the purpose of road 3 is not solely the law of attraction. Imagine if you started believing in the law. If you started monitoring your thoughts so that you are careful about sending only positive thoughts to the universe around you. In the long run even if the law of attraction doesn't work for you it makes you into a more positive person.

I started with something simple and believe it or not it did work. I was looking out for a new phone and settled on BlackBerry. I told myself that I want to buy a new BlackBerry with my own money when I go back home this December(although I don't earn yet). I started believing what it would be like when I have an opportunity to start earning and then buy myself a phone. Soon enough without me having to do nothing but visualize I started writing technical blogs for a friend and got paid for it. Another old school friend came up to me and said he wanted me to design a website for his family business. Within two months I had the money to buy myself the phone that I wanted. Law of Attraction? I don't know! All I know is that I was positive and it happened. I am now putting a picture of a beach house on my room's wall. I am positive and I know I will own it someday. I know the universe will respond to my wish.

So that's Road 4 of my journey folks.

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions" - Albert Einstein. So ask for what you want, visualize that you have it, be grateful for what you already have and be positive. One day the universe will answer, "your wish is my command".

Do you believe that the law of attraction could really work?
Do you think that even if it doesn't work it will help you become more positive and confident? Leave your comments.
