This is the first blog that I am writing. The reason I chose this topic as my first one because I have seen this work really big in my life another reason why I would like to share this is because I have got one of the most important learning out of it “No matter how hard the problem is, there is always a solution to it, you just have to BELIEVE it is.”
First let me tell what this topic is all about, “Law of Attraction” is a concept of Metaphysics according to which “like attracts like”. This can be connected with the real life by the notion that if you think of something, then it is the first sign that it can be made possible. It tells us that our thoughts are so powerful that they can manifest into results, if you focus on the goal rather than the problem the goal can be achieved. For example if you want to score high marks in your exams, just focus on the goal which is “to get highest marks” once you concentrate your thoughts on the same it has the power to manifest itself. If you concentrate your thoughts on things that you really want or what you really desire the universe works through you to give you the opportunities and the doors for you will open up but you are the one who has to walk through (and that is the main point).
When I was introduced to this topic through a documentary “The Secret” I decided to see if it works or not and I was surprised to see that for most of the time it worked for me (I tried it many times and I am still practicing it as I write this blog). Needless to say there was lot of questions in my mind, but then as I kept on thinking over the same I realized that all the things that humans have created are a dream of some or the other person also I read somewhere “Everything is created twice once in mind and then in real world”. This is really something to think about.
Napoleon Hill, wrote a book “Think and grow rich”, in 1937 which was one of the bestselling books of all times. In this book he explained how success can be achieved by controlling your thoughts, the energy of one’s thought and how it can attract other thoughts. The keyword is in the title of the book “THINK” and grows rich. Rhonda Byrne wrote “The Secret” it focuses on positive thinking and how it can lead you to better health, wealth and happiness. Of course just thinking is not enough and as the book explains to ACT is as important as to think positive which is the point here. Thinking positive gives you a boost and confidence which when followed by action can give extraordinary results. The book also explains that reality is nothing but the reflection of your inner self and your future is build by your thoughts.
The law of attraction has also some similarity with the “Placebo effect”. This phenomenon is related to the perception and expectation which the patient has; if the substance is viewed as helpful, it can heal, but if it is viewed as harmful, it can cause negative effects (Wikipedia). A similar kind of concept was introduced in the movie “Inception” wherein the power of a simple idea was shown as How an Idea if rooted deep in mind can change the course of future. Idea is like a seed that grows inside your mind and manifests itself in the real world through proper implementation of actions from you side.
Though I have had many experiences where I saw the Law of Attraction work for me but I would like to share the most recent experience I had. I am a regular reader of the magazine DIGIT (Technology related magazine) and I always thought on how the Team Digit works, I always wanted to meet them, to work with them but I could not because I was stuck up with my studies. As I am pursuing MBA and it is a part of curriculum to do Internship in any organization and when the time came I applied at DIGIT for internship and finally I got to work with them, and after a month I was holding the first printed copy of the 10th Anniversary issue of Digit (big deal for meJ).
I will not deny the fact that many times this “Law” has not worked for me. There have been instances wherein I have lost the most desirable thing, most beloved people and contact with dearest friends. The reason behind it all lies into some mishap or misunderstanding or mistake from my side but the fact which remains here is that this “Law of attraction” has given me much more. It’s definitely worth a try. I have tried it and I urge you to try it too, to see it change your life.
Keep posting your views.
