I feel like LOA rookie of the year!
Submitted by: Kyle F.
Indianapolis, INI am a young college graduate living and working in Indianapolis. I am an aspiring entrepreneur and was drawn to The Law of Attraction through the writings of John Assaraf, Napoleon Hill, Og Mandino, and finally, Rhonda Byrne and The Secret team.
Recently a pair of events occurred that I feel were signs that I have turned an important corner in the journey of mastering my thoughts, and CHOOSING to experience joy and gratitude every day.
One of the practices that I have begun to use is watching the Visualization Tools several times per day and reading the affirmations aloud. One of these, as you may know is, “I receive unexpected checks in the mail.”
For the past 2 weeks, I’ve made the intention to feel deep gratitude every day and to notice the wonderful characteristics in every situation. It was going well and good then suddenly after meeting my parents for dinner and making sure to dwell on the feelings of gratitude and joy, I received a 20 dollar parking ticket! Now I NEVER get tickets, so at first I was furious and disappointed. I was feeling so grateful and now I attracted THIS?
Before this feeling could really take root, I decided to put The Secret to the ultimate challenge and CHOOSE to feel grateful even in this difficult situation. I remembered that I haven’t been aware of The Secret for very long and probably attracted this before knowing. I decided to feel good about FORGIVING myself, and LOVE myself for choosing to rise above this difficult situation.
Now the ticket was 20 dollars and I paid it off as soon as I could in order to release the negative thought from my reality as quickly as possible. THE VERY DAY I paid the fine, I went into my mail box only to find a letter from a friend. I had given her a box of vitamins which I sell through an online distribution business and was intending on following up to see if she would like to buy them to keep them for the rest of the month. Inside the envelope was a heartfelt, handwritten thank you, and a check for $22.99. The full retail price of the vitamins!
Forgive yourself for negative circumstances, and gratitude will always reward you.
