I’ve recently been introduced to the Laws of Attraction. Anything you give focus or attention to you attract. Every minute of the day we are sending vibrations out into the universe and the universe is receiving them and returning back to us the same types of vibrations that we are sending out. If you are sending out negative vibrations then you will attract negative things in your life. Likewise, if you are sending out positive vibrations the universe will return positive things in your life.

Ever notice that when you wake up in a bad mood usually you have a rotten day? It seems it just goes from bad to worse. Or, when you believe something bad is going to happen it usually does? Or, you wake up in a really good mood and your day just goes really well and everything seems to go your way. That’s because of the vibration you are sending. A vibration is sort of like a prayer. It all starts with a thought. If it’s a thought that is centered around a strong desire then it will emit a strong vibration which will in turn activate the laws of the universe to send you vibrations that are in the same vibrational sequence as your desire. When you pray, you are sending out vibrations and those vibrations are being answered. If your praying that your illness goes away and what you keep focusing on is the fact that you are ill, the universe will send you more illness or keep you ill since that is what you are focusing on. If you pray that you become well and you begin to focus on being well, then the universe will send the vibrations that match wellness and you will become well.

Every day, whether we want to or not we are sending vibrations out into the universe and the universe is returning vibrational matches. So even if you have never heard of the laws of attraction you’ve been participating in it since you were born. Ever thought you have is sent out into the universe and becomes dormant until you activate it again. You activate it by either thinking the same thought again or one similar to it. The more you think these same thoughts the stronger it gets until it begins to manifest in your life. Like attracts like.

A few months ago I casually mentioned at work that I wanted to work from home. My co-workers looked at me with not much response. It was a desire I had that I had given much thought to but didn’t really intend on doing anything about. A few months later I mentioned it again just because it really was a desire I had, not really thinking that it would ever get anywhere. Not too long after that I was in the grocery store and ran into an old co-worker of mine from a job where I was laid off two years prior. She mentioned to me that the company had begun to send most of its workers home to work from home. She then stated they were hiring in the same department I was working in when they laid me off and asked if I would be interested in working from home. What do you think my response was? “Heck yeah!!” I gave her my number and she said she would talk with her superiors and get back to me. A few days later she called and said I would be getting a phone call from the human resources department.

They called me a couple of days later and informed me they were hiring “in-house” but they were willing to open the position up to outside of the company for five minutes just to give me enough time to apply. I did what I had to and then responded back to the human resources department that I was done with the application process so they could close it back up again. She then informed me they would be reviewing it and I would hear back from them soon. About a week passed when I received a call from one of the hiring managers for a phone interview. We scheduled the day, had the interview and then I waited. A month passed and I hadn’t heard anything back from the hiring manager so I decided to call in and check. She said they were still in the negotiations and it was a matter of politics. I thanked her for her time and she said she would get back to me hopefully within two weeks. Another month passed. By then I had given up all hope. I wasn’t even sure any more whether or not I wanted to work from home. I thought I might get bored and lonely and decided to just put the whole thing behind me. I figured by then they must have hired someone. About a week later I received a call from the hiring manager telling me she had been out on vacation and had to still meet with her superiors and I would hear back from her. I had hopes again although by then I really didn’t care anymore whether or not I got the position. She called a week later to offer me the job of which I happily accepted.

So, here I am, working from home for a major company. I’m making more money than I was at my previous job, I choose my own hours and I work for an office that isn’t even in my home state. I never have to go into the office. Am I bored? No, I have plenty to do. I get lonely sometimes but the benefits far out way the negatives. I unknowingly put my thought and my desire out into the universe and gave it more fuel by thinking and talking about it some more and my request was answered. I didn’t even know I was requesting anything and didn’t even have to do much to get it. I didn’t have to make any phone calls or do anything to get the ball rolling. I was just sort of desiring and talking and the universe made sure I was at the right place at the right time. I guess that’s how it all works. Check it out for yourself and see what good things you can manifest in your life. Start by thinking about what you do want instead of always complaining about what you don’t want and it will take off from there.
