Idle Musing #3

So I've been reading up on this idea about the Universal Law of Attraction. Basically, the energy that you put out into the world is what you get back. It also means that whatever you think in your mind, you will eventually get. I like the part about positive energy attracting positive energy. It helps me deal with my children with more patience. My son can drive me up the wall at times and I really need to remember to stay positive.

I can attest to the fact that you can think things and they will eventually come true. One of my goals was to live in Europe and here I am. You can't think of how you are going to do something, just that it will happen. Things land in my lap all the time that have to do with what I imagined for my future. I knew I was going to have both a girl and a boy and I did. I knew I was going to teach overseas and it happened. I knew I would eventually get back together with my high school sweetheart and, 10 years later, that happened. The trick is to not think about wanting it to happen, but thinking that it WILL happen. I never knew that there was actually a name to the processes that I was using, but turns out this all deals with the Universal Law of Attraction. You can read more about it here. Now I just have to focus my energy on thinking that the trouble with the economy and this war will be over soon.
