OK...I'm the first to admit that I was always a skeptic when it came to "buying into" the idea that our thoughts become things, that we create our lives through our thoughts, "ask and ye shall receive."
But several months ago, things started to fall apart and I had finally had enough.
I remembered a friend telling me about the book The Secret and that she really liked it. So I asked if I could borrow her copy. I started to read and couldn't put it down. For whatever reason, it all made sense to me. Some of it was tough to swallow -- like the idea that the thoughts I've had over the years created the life I was living. But when I really thought about it, well...it was pretty clear that our thoughts do become things.
And so the work began. Retrain my way of thinking. Create new pictures of how I wanted my life to be both professionally and personally.
I started blogging and "met" lots of very interesting and inspiring people on ActiveRain and learned that there were A LOT of folks out there who also believe that our thoughts and attitude have a profound effect on how our life unfolds.
It has been and continues to be a long journey, and while I haven't perfected my way of thinking, I've certainly improved. And I've seen some pretty neat results -- growth in business, improvement in personal relationships, looking forward to every day, and staying away from negative people.
I finally understand what it means to have faith in the unseen and to trust and believe that everything will be okay. Life is good.
