missed opportunity?

have you ever watched the movie "the secret"?

it is about the law of attraction, and it's a pretty good production to boot. i recommend to you if you have not seen it. it is very inspirational

the movie explains how to take advantage of one of the most powerful, natural laws of the universe: the law of attraction.

Overview

The Law of Attraction claims to have roots in Quantum Physics.[7] According to proponents of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of.[2] In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things: [8]

  1. Know exactly what you want.
  2. Ask the universe for it.
  3. Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is on its way.
  4. Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.

Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the universe will manifest a person's desires.[8]

now, some people say it works, i actually claim that as well. others say it does not.

if you look at the steps listed above, they remind me of praying... yes, praying.

i have come to the understanding that when you ask for more love, you are not bestowed with warm loving feelings, rather you are presented with 'opportunities' to love.

i ask for $5000 dollars a month, and i am not sent a check in the mail. instead, i am given multiple "opportunities" to increase my financial wealth to $5000 a month.

let's say you do as the movie asks, attract yourself a cup of coffee. the cup of coffee may not drop in your lap, but it might take the form of co-workers asking for help and in doing so, you may end up with a cup of coffee.

i know this about life: you get exactly what you ask for, you just might not recognize it when it shows up.
