       Except The Secret, The Magic, and The Power, there’re actually many books talking about the law of attraction on the market. Many of them published before The Secret were very famous, for example, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind written by Joseph Murphy. Quite often there’re author talks about the importance of some thing which I believe are the law of attraction in their books like, Kazuyo Katsuma, Masanori Kanda. They really enhance my faith in it. When I saw Oprah Winfrey talked about the law of attraction in the way showing that she totally believe in it yesterday in Larry King’s show, it stroke me like a beacon of hope. It was like a solid proof telling me that the law of attraction was as true as Newton’s laws of motion. Except that, Jack also mentioned that the law of attraction can actually be proved by quantum physics. It shows that everything is energy. And our thoughts and feelings can control the flow of the energy. The guests of the program also mentioned that our feeling sends a wave into the universe. Anything that’s vibrating in the similar level gets attracted into our life.          

The program gave quite a clear explanation about the law of attraction, I really learnt a lot from them. Among them, there’re three things, which I think are of vital importance.

1.      What you focus on it expands. What you give your attention to gets bigger.
2.    Thoughts, feelings, and your action all have to be working simultaneously in the same direction.
3.    Nothing new can come into our life, unless we’re grateful for what we already have.

What you focus on it expands. What you give your attention to gets bigger
In the program, Ryan, a woman who is in debt was suggested to make a decision to put one hundred, two hundred, or whatever it’s to the debt. Then, forget about debt and focus on how she can create more financial freedom. Jack also pointed out that she couldn’t try to focus on getting out of debt, because in that sense, the key word is still debt, instead she should try to focus on what her life would be like. I realized that I tend to focus on bad things very often, for example, when I’m sick, I tend to think about surgery, or the doctors aren’t going to be able to help me, as they don’t know my circumstances, instead of good things like many doctor says it’s not something serious. When my father’s association decided to give me RM700, I kept thinking about how bad it was like to stay in the banquet with people I don’t know, and forget about how the RM700 can help me. It’s really horrible to realize that it is me who attract those bad things to my life. Really have to direct my thoughts into the right direction. In this program, James always reminds me of something very important, which is that every single thing has a gift hidden in it. In fact, I’ve mentioned this last week in my other post, Tuesday with Morrie, but human is just forgetful, but I’ve just hammered it into my brain. I’ll never forget it again. Lol.

Thoughts, feelings, and your action all have to be working simultaneously in the same direction.
James mentioned that anybody who don’t achieve what they desire or deserve must have missed one of them. We should feel it, act on it, and make action based on where we’re going. It really has a point there. It explain why many of us fail to attraction what we want by the law of attraction, for example, I tried to use the law of attraction to attract chicken chop before, but I failed. Other than that, I also have the habit of visualize my soul mate almost every day, but I’m still single. I think that’s because I failed to fulfill all the three criteria. So except from visualizing it and feel it, I must act on it. I must do as Lisa said from now on. If somebody asks me how I’m doing, I must say, “I’m phenomenal”, or “I’m great”, even when I’m in the midst of crisis, and think that I’m great as I made it through.

Nothing new can come into our life, unless we’re grateful for what you already have.
I think this is the most important one among the three, or Oprah won’t encourage people to write gratitude journal. Rhonda Byrne won’t start The Power with gratitude journal. Lisa mentioned that when we are dealing with weight, family, and friends. If we want to change it, we need to appreciate what’s there, find the thing about it that works, find the thing that infuses us, all everything, by doing this, we create the space for it to get better. What James told the woman who had weight problem in the program is really inspiring. He used the different way to look at thing. James asked her if she’s grateful when her doctor tells her she’s healthy. James suggested her to start every single day, waking up saying thank you for the health she has, saying things like ”I love my legs, because it’s working functionally…”. Start to love her body and grateful for it, for the way it’s at the moment. He asks her to choose to become healthy and whole. Instead of losing weight and saying she wants to get rid of it. He asked her to choose to become healthy and whole. Be grateful and the outcome would be healthy and whole. By continuing focus on her health and whole every single day, and she’s attracting more and more health and wholeness to herself. When your hand it’s fat, you think about the good thing about it, like it is healthy. This is like what I said just now, instead of focusing on the fact that I can’t talk long due to vocal problem. I should focus on at least there’s nothing serious about it. I was given a long vacation to read the books I have been longing to read, to watch this program which will change my life dramatically, and spend time to digest it. This vocal problem also teaches me so much. It teaches me to never overexert my body and loves my body that helps me achieve my dream. By teaching me not to overexert my body, it prevents more serious health issue happening on me. Oprah also mentioned when she was in crisis, she asked crisis, “What’re you here to teach me, so that I can get whatever lesson it’s, and gets out of it, and move on.” This is also a good way to look at crisis positively.

At the end, I would like to end with what Lisa asked the woman with weight problem to say. Let’s say “I choose today to give myself the best life ever” together, if you believe in the law of attraction like me.
