About two weeks ago, I was flipping thru the channels on TV and came across and episode of Oprah. I don't usually watch her show, as I can't usually get that channel at this location. But the forces of nature were at work that day, in my favor, as it turns out. These ladies were discussing "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, and how thinking positive attracts positive things into your life. And this was all kinda funny, because as I stated we don't usually get that channel, and just as I found this show, my daughter calls me out of the blue and ask me if I am watching this show. (More evidence of the cosmic forces at work) So I tell her that I am and how I just found. So we both watch a little while and chat a little while. The next day on the way to work, I stopped and bought the book and the latest issue of Oprah magazine. This is the first issue of this magazine that I have ever even looked at, and I gotta say this is a really cool magazine. I like the look of it and the contents. Its not the usual or run of the mill jargon, but some very interesting information and large variety of issues. And while I don't usually subscribe to magazines, basically because I hate all that extra mail that comes encouraging you to subscribe more or to other magazines, I am considering a subscription to this magazine.
Now, I have not finished the book yet, but already I highly recommend it. It has already been a great influence in changing the way I think. Frankly, I didn't even realize how negative I am, and how easily being negative comes to me. But when you are trying to think positive and feel postive, you do realize. It is difficult to change that mind frame too. It takes a lot of stopping your thoughts and analyzing how you are feeling. And I never really understood why you should meditate before, but now I do. You need to stop and clear your head, because sometimes the negative can build up to phenomial proportions. It does go away either, you have to shove it away and replace it with the opposite, more positive aspect, or it stays and grows.
The magazine I purchased was for an article it had about making list. Now I like making list really, I weird that way. If I'm going on a trip, I make a packing list. If I am going to shopping, I make shopping list. If I don't, I over spend and spend needlessly, not that everything I buy I need, but it could be worse. So this list thing was intriguing. I talked about a lady who went to see a pyschic and she told her that the Universe wanted her to be happy, she just needed to decide on what she wanted. Then the pyschic told her to go home and a list of 100 qualities she wanted in a man. (The lady was lonely and wanted to know if she was going to be alone for the rest of her life.) By the way, 100 qualities is a lot. I have been working on my list now for two weeks. I up to about 50. I really wonder what she had on hers, just a peek maybe. Anyway, about three months after she made this list, she met a man. He was about 98% of her list, and they eventually got married, and are very happy together. But this list writing doesn't just apply to relationships, it can apply to anything. Me, personnally, I would like a new relationship that was way better than this one, but even more I would like a new home of my own. So another list I am working on is everything I want in my new house. I really love the place that is in my mind, I just have to concentrate and focus on being more positive and lot less negative!! Wish me luck!!
Bright Blessings to everyone!!!!
