A Little Known Secret

The good news is that we possess quite a bit of power over what we attract into our lives.  I know that this is true because of a lifetime of my own experiences, plus from my observations of other peoples’ lives.  We attract to ourselves what we focus on the most.  If you find yourself under a hardship or in difficulty of any kind, think back to what you were thinking about prior to this present circumstance.  It may be that for a period of time over the past few years, or few months, or few weeks, you were holding some negative thought or picture in your mind.  Perhaps, if you are truly honest with yourself, you even expected your present circumstance to materialize.  And so it did.

Life does not necessarily present you with what you want, but with what you are. That is, what you project in the way of attitude, values and beliefs.  Remember that Biblical line, “As a man thinks, so is he”?  That’s what I am discussing here.  That line says it all.

Do not look outside yourself for answers to the predicament you may find yourself bogged down in.  Most often, it is not other people or events that caused your problem, but the values and beliefs you have been clinging to for a substantial period of time.  Are you often negative about yourself, your life, or life in general?  Then how can you expect good to show up when that is not your focus?  I will repeat again:  what you focus on the most, what you most believe to be true, what you value the most, is what will show up for you in your life.  You will create it. You will live your life in such a way that those values and beliefs will manifest in your reality.

If you expect to change the outward circumstances of your life, you first need to acknowledge your responsibility as to your present circumstances.  Secondly, you need to look within and see what needs clearing out.

We live in a very orderly universe, where cause and effect consistently operate. An occurrence results because of what occurred immediately before.  Lucky or unlucky accidents or coincidences really do not exist.  Lucky and unlucky do not exist.  Every action is actually a reaction, the result of some action that preceded it.  The universe does not know about a throw of the dice.  I know that sometimes it looks like a `chance’ universe, because we cannot see the dynamics of how it operates on this limited, three-dimensional level of living.
