Hello,
I've read some of the articles written by Steve Pavlina, the Law of Attraction makes sense to me. I mean, I already had an awareness of it but not a name for it. I can usually see the negative effects manifest themselves quickly. But it takes longer for more positive intentions to happen. And there are times when my mood is good and I use positive thought but what I'm thinking about and want to see happen doesn't happen? Or at other times I wake up not feeling as enthusiastic about something. Of course I always get up to do my day. I never hide at home.
j/k there. What I mean is, sometimes I can be thinking about something the night before but when I wake up the emotion will be different. Instead of feling hopeful about the outcome some worry might have crept in unconsciously. How do people override this?
We're basically taught to believe certain things and our self concept is influenced to a large degree by society. I was raised by a loving family, we are very close. But the world is not so friendly and loving and growing up there were a lot of people who did not associate with us because we didn't have a lot of money. Yet a love for education and respect for people was instilled in us at home. So getting a good university education was what naturally came from that even though the path was difficult. But negative thought energy from others is always there and teaching myself not to be influenced by that on a personal level is something that takes a lot of effort.
What about times when you have the highest intentions, picture yourself doing something, feel it deep inside and yet it doesn't happen? What is the cause of this?
