Have you ever had something happen that, at the time, you thought was the absolute worst thing that could ever happen; only to realize months later that is was the best thing that could have happened, because it ultimately led you to something better?

I’ve learned to live my life by The Law of Attraction. I’m sure you’ve heard the term, but what does it mean? I had heard it for years, but never really took the time to explore it until recently. It sounded good—like something I might like to have, but that’s about as far as it went for me. I kept plugging along with my life, making wrong choices, acting wrong, thinking wrong. I’m so grateful that a now know better!

The Law of Attraction, simply stated, says that whatever you think about is what you will get. That sounds easy, right? Well, there is a little more to it than that, but basically, that’s it. If you think positive, good things will happen to you. By the same token, if you have a negative attitude, guess what…bad things are going to come your way. If you don’t believe it, just try it. Test it for yourself. If you think and act positively, it can’t fail.

But then, one might ask, “what about when something bad happens in my life, what’s that all about?” You’re thinking positive, you’re acting in a positive way and you’re maintaining a great attitude. Why would something “bad” happen to you? Think of it as a step in the process—a means to an end. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, although it might seem like it at the time.

Here is a perfect example: You’ve just lost your job. It happened suddenly and unexpectedly. You are devastated and wondering what you are going to do now. I’m actually speaking from experience. When that happened to me, my world was turned upside down for a time. Today, I am extremely grateful that happened to me. I had become disenchanted with the job anyway, but it was a living so I stuck it out. Only a short time after I lost that job, wonderful opportunities opened up for me. Had I not been in my current “predicament” those opportunities would not have presented themselves. Or, if they had I would have dismissed them. I am so much happier with my circumstances today than I was before. I am thankful every day for the loss of that job.

The lesson here is, don’t get discouraged when things happen that don’t seem to be getting you what you want. Everything happens for a reason. Just hold on to your positive thoughts and it will all turn out the way you want it to.
