One of my interests this year has been quantum physics and there is a term used when referring to the universe that has caught my imagination – Infinite Possibilities.

At first it seemed to me to be just another buzz word in the amazing mix of ideas that quantum physics explores but it kept popping into my head and slowly its real meaning started to hit me. It is an idea so exciting with so many ramifications that you will never see the world the same way again.

A month ago I came across and audio program of the same name by Mike Dooley and I knew I had to listen to it. Mike was actually featured in The Secret and has been running a website for many years with what he calls the adventurers club. The concept being that life is an adventure. He also has a mailing list called Notes from the Universe which I have been subscribing to for some time.

So I downloaded it aware that it would not really be on the topic of quantum physics but related none the less.

I have actually listened to a lot of material from many of the world’s most renowned motivational speakers and the messages of many are similar. From each I can usually gleam a new insight or some clarification of a topic I am already familiar with.

Watch this Youtube video of Mike talking about his Notes from the Universe

The 12 hour audio program Infinite Possibilities from Mike knocked my socks off. For me it was a lot more than a few more insights and some clarification – it actually helped me put some important jigsaw pieces for the puzzle of like together. Everything has started to make a lot more sense.

Many programs can be motivational and inspirational but this was enlightening and liberating. If you are interested in Mike’s message in the above video or perhaps already familiar with him in The Secret then you are here to take your next step on your road to understanding. You are here to discover Infinite Possibilities.

I came across the teachings of Abraham who is one of the original exponents of the Law of Attraction some time ago.   At first I assumed it was just more about the law of attraction but there is more to it than that.

Abraham is not a person but rather ARE non-physical entities that communicate through Esther and jerry Hicks.   Esther claims to channel  these entities from source energy from which we all originate.   She describes what she is doing as tapping into “infinite intelligence” which is the same term that Wallace Wattle used in the last century to describe much the same concept.   

Here is a summary of some of the major concepts of Abrahams teachings:

• You are a physical extension of that which is non-physical.
• You are here in this body because you chose to be here.
• The basis of your life is freedom; the purpose of your life is joy.
• You are a creator; you create with your every thought.
• Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.
• You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts.
• The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions.
• Relax into your natural well-being. All is well.
• You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy.
• Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.
• You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.
• You can not die; you are everlasting life.

I had seen references from time to time about Abraham being included in the first release of the secret but later removed by Rhonda Byrne for some reason.  I had suspected that maybe Rhonda decided that using “Abraham” would be too way out there when many of the ideas of the secret were already going to challenge people.  It turns out this was just my own speculation.

The idea of a vision board has been around for a long time.  You may not refer to it as such and it does not need to be a specific thing.  It could be an office or bedroom wall.   The images might be scrapbook-type cut outs or beautifully framed artwork.   

It is simply any place where you put images of something you desire in a place where you will regularly see it so you can remain motivated towards it.  

This concept is used by most people in one way or another.  Even those who would reject the idea of the Law of Attraction see at least the motivational power in images.   The images could be of something you want, a goal you want to achieve or someone you aspire to emulate. 

A mind movie is an electronic version of a vision board but multi-media rich including sounds and visual effects.   Mind movies were pioneered by Ryan Higgins who created it as a visualization tool to assist with the law of Attraction.  He promotes them as a way to make The Sectret and the law of attraction work for those that have not been able to get results.

I actually purchased his Mind Movie package last year and proceeded to make a mind movie but came to a grinding halt when it came to select the images and captions.   Soon after that other events in my life took over and it was forgotten and remained uncompleted ever since. 

I recently purchased the Attractor Genie program with a suite of tools including Attractor Movie which is the same concept as a mind movie.   So I know have two tools to create mind movies but still have yet to produce any.

I have been using the Attractor Genie program now for more than a month and suddenly I realized why I was not able to complete my original mind movie.

I have previously spoken about the home page of the Attractor Genie program and how it has four areas; My vision, My Purpose, My values and My Identity.   I talked about how valuable it has been to start thinking about those areas of my life and initially putting down a few ideas, then returning to them to refine them until they really took shape.   

I was looking at these four areas a few days ago as you do whenever you open the Attractor Genie program (probably why they are on the home page) and the thought suddenly occurred to me that there is the script to my mind movie. 

This was the blockage to my creating a Mind movie in the past.   I really did not have the right script. Sure I had put together some ideas but they really were not expressing the message I wanted.  So when it came time to select the images and text it was a struggle. 

Everyone is different and there are thousands of people who purchased the Mind Movies package and were immediately able to produce their Mind Movie.   I needed to think about what I really wanted and valued first before I was ready to start.  

As I have not yet produced a mind movie I cannot give an opinion on the Ryan Higgins Mind Movie package vs. the included Attractor Movie version.   As I own both I will try both when the time comes and write a review here.

What I can say now with certainty is that the Attractor Genie program is worth having regardless of how good I later determine is mind movie component to be.   The Ryan Higgins Mind Movie package will have to be significantly better for me to recommend to anyone they buy it in addition to the Attractor Genie program.

If like me you already own the Ryan Higgins Mind Movie package and are struggling creatively to make your first movie then get Attractor Genie and forget about making any type of mind movie until you have worked through the four areas I spoke about.

I subscribe to daily messages from the Universe.  These are short and often humorous messages written by Mike Dooley, who was featured in the “The Secret”.  

In all honestly half of them I just click delete on immediately as they are not something I relate to, or they don’t inspire me, but occasionally one is a Gem or perhaps the message I needed to see at that time.

This is one such message I recently received that I have preserved storing it in my Attractor Genie Journal.

Isn’t it nice to know that you haven’t yet laughed, all that you’ll laugh? That you haven’t yet met, some of your very best friends? And that you haven’t yet dreamed, all that you’ll manifest?

That all bridges will be mended? That all sadness will be healed? And that life never ends?

That all of your challenges will be won? That all of your triumphs will be shared? And that the difference you’ll make, has already begun?

Well, it is for me, because I also know that if you don’t see these things yet, you will.

Could it get any better?

The Universe

I actually forwarded it on to someone who immediately responded that they knew someone that really needed that message and would forward it to them.

Here is Mike giving a Toast Masters address about “Thoughts Become Things”

Infinite Possibilities is one of the best and most enlightning programs i have every listen to – it gets my highest recommendation. You can visit Mike’s website and subscribe to his daily messages from the Universe here  http://www.tut.com/

I have found myself dragged back into dealing with a very negative matter over the past two days. A psychopath that I had problems with last year has enlisted the help of another nut case and together they published the most false and disgusting allegations about me.

The site they published these allegations on is already totally discredited but there were some things they claimed that needed to be rebutted as circumstantial evidence seemed to suggest I had some involvement.  The old where there is smoke there is fire scenario. 

I have completed the fully and total rebuttal of these allegations and it is time to get back to living my life.

I have learned a valuable lesson from having to revisit this very negative matter.   Some of the bad feelings and anguish started to return as I was forced to focus on formulating the rebuttal.  I have been free of these bad feelings for a few months now and forgot how bad they really are.

This experience has convinced me that it’s time to fully let go.  I have another blog where I wrote about my child being taken away from me.  It was therapeutic to create this blog and vent all my deepest feelings. 

In the blog I attacked the mother and the psychopath who took my son away from me. 

I previously wrote about a message I received about praising and blessing your enemies.  At the time I said I really could not do that but that I had stopped spending time cursing them and instead was starting to focus on positive things.

I actually did stop spending time thinking any negative thoughts towards them and I know I was better off for doing so.   Yet I left the blog running which contains a great deal of negativity and “curses” towards them. 

In leaving this blog I was not being congruent and therefore could not be fully aligned with the universe.  Thus I attracted this problem back to me.  I realize it’s time to follow my own advice to the guy that published the rubbish against me and let go. 

So I have announced I will turn off the blog at the end of the month allowing time for the people directly concerned to read my rebuttal.  I will totally ignore the old blog until it’s time to turn it off.

I know that eventually this matter will resolve itself when the psychopath abandons my ex-girlfriend and the child and I will again be able to see my son.   

In the meantime I have other people in my life including my other children who need me.  It is my duty to be happy for them and give them my love. 

Tomorrow I will wake up to another beautiful new day and wonderful things will happen.

I have been reading some articles by critics of the Law of Attraction. I found a few of particular interest.

The first is titled “Why the Law of Attraction is Wrong, But Why It Still Works” and is found on the Zen Habits forums from Leo.

Leo basically says that the LOA system can work because it encourages people to follow a three step process.

The first step in the process starts with a person actually stating very specifically what he/she wants, which is something Leo acknowledges most people don’t do.

The second step in the process is that it encourages people to focus (think about, visualize, use affirmations etc) on what they want.

The third step in the process is that as a consequence of completing the first two steps people will take action to make it happen. 

This last step actually contradicts the LOA in some ways as the LOA suggests that we just believe and wait to receive and let the universe work in its own mysterious way to manifest our desire.  

Leo’s basic contention is that the LOA is wrong but the people who practice LOA might get results because they follow steps that result in action that helps make their stated desire a reality.  Leo suggests that the final step of taking action naturally follows on from the first two steps and the combination of these will, more likely than not, make desire or goal come true.  This is a logical interpretation of what might be occurring and removes any mystic or cosmic force from the equation.

Leo also rejects the idea that our thoughts can go out into the physical world and can influence it saying that there is no scientific evidence to support the LOA theory and is not scientific.

While I agree with Leo that the LOA is just a theory and cannot be scientifically proven or disproven I disagree with Leo that thoughts cannot influence the physical would. 

The title of this site is the Power of Thoughts and my belief in their power, that they are real forces that extend beyond the limitations of our mind within our physical bodies, is not based on a faith or desire to believe in Supreme Being or cosmic force.  It comes from my own very logical analyses of my total life experience that includes all that I have learnt and observed. 

René Descartes stated “I think, therefore I am” as a starting point for confirming our existence.

Those that accept living their life within the apparent limitations of our physical world and only accepting that which can be scientifically proven are basically saying “I am, therefore I think”.

I will not even attempt to try to prove here the power of thoughts.  I will just say that for me there is just way too much unexplained phenomenon that science has absolutely no explanation for.  There are so many documented cases involving identical twins, idiot savants etc.

I am willing to concede that the LOA might be wrong.  It might not work the way its proponents claim but it is based on ideas that should not be dismissed so quickly.

To me it seems like the Law of Attraction has become a magnet (pun intended) to all the other New Age proponents and they are jumping on the Law Of Attraction band wagon and trying to incorporate it with their particular New Age beliefs. 

Recently I have seen something called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) becoming popular and being linked directly to the Law of Attraction. 

I found this definition of EFT:  

EFT is based on the electrical systems in our body called the meridians. It is an emotional version of acupuncture except that we don’t use needles, instead we stimulate the release points by tapping with our fingertips.

Some of the meridian points ( also called acupuncture or acupressure points) on the skin have actually been measured with very sensitive instruments and the electrical charge there has been higher than in the non meridian points. We can think of the meridians like rivers along which the electricity in our body flows. This flow has been called many other names such as, chi, prana, life force, electromagnetic, electrical or just energy. EFT helps in restoring the energy flow to normal and that helps us feel emotionally and physically healthy.

EFT seems to be a New Age (nice – no needles) version of the old yet to be proven Chinese system of acupuncture with its belief in energy channels running through your body.  While my research has only been very superficial it does seem to me that EFT is a good example of a New Age belief jumping on the Law of Attraction bandwagon.    

I watched some videos and basically the practitioner talks to the subject determining what is troubling them and then gives verbal instructions telling them to release and let go of the feelings or problem and tapping them in a number of places with their fingers.  As I watched the EFT practitioner I was reminded of some aspect of NLP in the way they were working with the subjects. 

Visit any EFT website and you will see how strongly it is being linked to the Law of Attraction.  I remain a sceptic of EFT but believe that its possible people undergoing EFT are helped partly by the power of suggestion and perhaps by the Law of Attraction.

I can say with certainty now that I will not be cancelling the billing for this Attractor Genie software.  It is exactly what I have been looking for.  The more I use it the more I can see it will be beneficial.

In fact the purpose of starting this blog was to establish a habit of focusing my thoughts each day and getting my life back on track.   This attractor genie software will be a much better tool to achieve this than the blog.  I actually leave it open all the time and can jump in and add a note or some inspiration as it comes to mind.

My first entry in my Atractor Genie Gratitude Journal a couple of days ago was this:

Despite almost three years of neglect and minimal effort my business is still providing me with a good income and it will be easily expanded to enable me to reach my new goals.

I really have not worked much at all in the past three years.  If I put all my work time together it might be about the equivalent of three months in a regular job which is one month a year yet I still have an income greater than most people who slave in a regular 9 to 5 job.

In 2008 I totally neglected my hosting business due to a major personal upheaval I have spoken about in previous posts.  In late December I started to look at the figures and state of my business infrastructure and on first appearance it looked very bleak. I even wondered if I had left it too late as it was in sharp decline.

I put a big effort in for a month in to fixing the business infrastructure and realized that there had been changes in the past three years and the business really need a restructure. 

I was thinking about getting back into a positive mode by listing to some of my motivational tapes again and also The Secret but I was still preoccupied with my personal problems.  It was not until I started this blog that I have really started to really get focussed.

The income for month of January and February was not as bad I as I thought it would be.  It seemed I had stopped the decline and the first half of march looked like a continuation which similar figures, but this second half since I started the blog and listening and focusing on positive things slowly start to turn around. Current projections show I will be $500 up on last month and this increase has only occurred in the past week.

I mentioned previously that The Secret website has a free downloadable blank check from the universe which you fill out.   On mine I have written $25,000 which I expect to be my monthly income from this business.   

I understand that for every goal you need to set a target date otherwise it remains not much more than a wish.  I am setting a very achievable and believable target date of December 2009.   Perhaps I am setting my expectations too low as I know that the universe is capable of delivering much more than that in no time at all.  In fact there are no limitations.

It is however important that when you set a goal and work towards it you need to be able to believe it can happen so that you can truly receive.  I look forward to watching my income steadily climb and can easily visualize it already. 

Anyway that is my goal for my current business but this month I have two other very exciting businesses under development and they both look like being gold mines.

I have been listening to The Secret and some other material on the Law Of Attraction and the message is loud and clear.  I need to write down what I want.

I would think that most people can easily come up with a shopping list for the universe.  When I ponder what might be my shopping list I struggle.   It is not that I am so contented with what I have as there are many things I currently would like.

I think that maybe I have been just too unsettled up until now to decide what I want.  The turmoil of the previous year has made many of my previous plans and goals either redundant or no longer important.

I feel I am now closer to being able to formulate a plan and shopping list.  This morning I decided it was time to start and thought about the best way to write them. 

I am not into pen and paper.  For me it has to be onscreen and stored away from prying eyes.   Therefore I would need to put it into some sort of document.

I wondered if there were any applications out there to facilitate writing down your plans, goals, shopping lists and things like affirmations.   I found some free and shareware applications but when I examined them they were nothing more than glorified notepads. 

I then found the Attractor Genie and it promised to be everything I was looking for and much more.   I read the blurb and then continued my search but after spending a few hours on the net looking around at different things there was nothing else that even came close to the Attractor Genie in terms of promised functionality. 

I then checked the price on the sales page and saw that it was $97 through CLICKBANK.  This is a little expensive in my opinion but immediately below was a second purchase option to Test Drive Attractor Genie Software for 7 days for only $5.00 after which the remaining $92 would be billed if I did nothing (did not cancel).  

This appealed to me as it seemed to reduce the risk.  In reality it would make little difference if it was $97 or $5 being refunded.   I know that if I was not satisfied with the product I would have recourse both through my credit card and CLICKBANK who I know to be a reputable company.   

I went off for lunch and to attend to some other things and a couple of hours later I returned to my computer with the intention to purchase using the $5 option and did so.

As they promised access was immediate.  The download and installation instructions were easy to follow and took me step-by-step.  I now had the application installed on my system and when I started it there seemed to be a lot too it.

The step-by-step instructions recommended watching the online video tutorials.  I decided to have a look before attempting to use the applications.  

I am currently up to video tutorial number 12 of 14 and I must say I am extremely impressed at what this application seems to do.  The functionality is everything  I wanted and much more.   I am actually excited to start working with the software.

The video tutorials seem to cover all the functionality and would be enough for anyone to start using the application.  Within the video tutorials they make continual references to there being more information and help in the Attractor-Genie manual which I have download but have yet to open. 

At this stage I feel I will allow the remaining $92 to be billed but I still have 6 days to work with Attractor Genie and make my decision.  If it even provides half of what it seems to provide then it’s worth it.  

Unless something else more interesting comes up I think the next few posts here will be about Attractor Genie and my experience working with it.

The web site for the Secret has some great free stuff including the check from the universe.  I have printed it off and filled it out and have it placed where I can see it.  

There is also a desktop widget that will deliver some inspirational wisdom every day.  I have this installed on my system.

I find myself particularly challenged by the message for today

Praising and blessing dissolves all negativity. So praise and bless your enemies.  If you curse your enemies, the course will come back to harm you.  If you praise and bless them, you will resolve all negativity and discord, and the love of the praising and blessing will return to you.  As you praise and bless, you will feel yourself shift into a new frequency with the feedback of good feelings. 

Sounds very New Testament like TURN THE OTHER CHEEK and LOVE THY ENEMY.

If this message had been presented to me a year ago I would not have had much trouble accepting it.  I am not the type of person to hold a grudge and had I been asked if I had any enemies I would have said no.   There was really no one I hated.  Maybe some I disliked but I would not waste my time and energy even thinking about them.

This all changed when a psychopath entered my life and poisoned the mind of my then girl friend and mother to my baby son.   The poison was both mentally and physically as the guy got her addicted to drugs.

I have just come out a living hell as they played with me and taunted me.  For some 4 or 5 months the guy would hide behind the bedroom door of my girl friend’s apartment when I visited.   For him it was a big game and she soon became a very active participant.   During the first few months of this the guy still pretended to be my friend while he fed lies and half-truths back to my girl friend.

The depth of deception and hurt was such that I experienced a range of extreme emotions including defeat, betrayal, depression, hatred and revenge.   Talk about vibrating negatively to the universe. 

In the past month I have moved to a positive frame of mind and can actually write about this with some detachment.   I suspect it is my knowledge of NLP in practice.

To ask me now to praise and bless my enemies is to say the very least a challenge.   I think it an accomplishment that I have been able to deal with it enough that I can stop spending my time cursing them and focus on more positive things. 

I know all the feelings are still there and the matter is far from resolved.  I am not in denial about it nor am I just suppressing it.  I just need to put it in perspective and get on with my life.

So Praising and blessing my enemies.  I am just not ready for that at this time.   The best I can do for now is be vigilant in curbing any negativity towards them.

Before finding out about the Law of Attraction I had come up with my own law that was similar but not as comprehensive in its explanation of how things work.   I called it the law of expectation.

Put simply I had observed all my life that we generally got whatever we expected.   While people may have aspired or expressed a desire for something more, they actually only received what they felt they were worthy to receive. 

I concluded that most people put their expectations too low.   As children we have wonderful dreams and plans but these “unrealistic” notions are “educated” out of us as we get older.

I also saw our western Christian heritage as having a negative effect on many people’s expectations with its feelings of guilt and unworthiness. 

The law of expectation also seemed to explain why people born into wealth seem to be able to easily acquire wealth while those born into relative poverty stay there.

It also seemed that people that were oblivious to obstacles or otherwise not constrained by the concept of realistic expectations were able to achieve great things that “normal” people were not.  To my mind this further proved my law of expectation.  

I observed that it was a few that dared to dream and felt worthy of more that actually got more.   I concluded that all we needed to do was to raise our own expectations. 

This idea was playing in the back of my mind for a few years and I actually raised my own expectations in life and did get more in terms of better jobs, income and even my love life.

Then I was introduced to The Secret and realized that my law of expectation was just a part of the Law of Attraction that provided a far better explanation.   I was not completely wrong but there were vital parts missing.

My law of expectation is really the receiving part of the law of attraction.  The part where you believe and vibrate out to the universe what you really know it will give you.  

I have been reflecting back on my childhood and when I first became aware of the power of thoughts.
 
When in my teens I lived in a small city in the middle of a rural area in the mid 70s. The local radio station announced the arrival of a guy who would hold lectures on Mind Power.  There was to be a free introductory night and I convinced my mother to take me.  My older brother and his girl friend also came along.

The guy giving the talk was John Kehoe and what he had to say sounded very interesting but the price of attending the lecture was beyond my budget of my mother.

My brother and his girl friend did attend the lectures and were given audio cassette tapes of the 3 days of lectures they attended.   He let me make copies of the tapes.

I listened to these once or twice and then left him in my draw with dozens of other tapes.  A few years later I found them again and played them this time absorbing the content.

My approach to learning has always been very intellectual as opposed to practical by which I mean I thought about and pondered the information at a philosophical level but never attempted to put any of it in practice.  It did however impart on me a more positive outlook and attitude.
 
The ideas and concepts were digested and laid dormant for a decade or so while I struggled with life, getting married and raising kids like most people do.  I continued to ponder the meaning of life and explored other things that I will probably talk about in future posts.

I then discovered the tapes again when I was cleaning out my no longer used cassette collection and put them aside to listen too again.  I then searched John Kehoe up on the internet curious about what he was doing and found he had an active website and was still touring and selling books and tapes.
 
I purchased a few books and tapes online and picked up a copy of his book the Practice of happiness as well as listening again to the now 20 year old tapes.  The information they contained had not dated in any way.
 
I was a believer in most of what he said but still only intellectualized it not putting any of it into practice by doing the exercises.  The one benefit I did derive was to substantially reduce my own negativity and became a far more positive person.
 
After being introduced to The secret I have again revisited the original tapes of John from 30 years ago and in his teachings way back then are all the key components and ideas found in the The Secret and the law of attraction.  Rhonda Byrne never claimed that the ideas in the secret are new.

If you are not familiar with John Kehoe then visit his Learn Mind Power website  http://www.learnmindpower.com/   There is lots of good information there and if you do see a book or tape of interest do not hesitate to buy it.  It’s all good.

Last year has proven to me that the law of attraction works as I experienced success beyond my wildest expectations in manifesting what I was thinking about.

If you read my last entry you might be wondering what I could be talking about as I have already stated that it was the worst year of my life. 

I spent most of last year in negative thought and sure enough the Universe responded by giving me heaps of what I was thinking about.  I spent a lot of time in fear and obediently the universe responded with creating more situations to be fearful of.  I spent a lot of time in anger and the universe gave me even more to be angry about.   I could go on but I think you get the point.

So yes I was exceedingly successful in manifesting what I was thinking about.  I can now see very clearly the direct correlation between my thinking and my life experience.  

I have also had ample life experiencing in manifesting good results in the past.  In fact I have done so all my life long before learning about the Secret and Law of attraction.

So it’s time to start creating my life experience and that means letting go of feelings of hurt, anger and even revenge.  I could have let go a long time ago but for the existence of my child.

I told myself that what I was doing was necessary to try to rescue him.  The thing is none of what I have done so far has worked and it would seem has made things worse.  

Now I have to work with the universe instead.  Let’s see how quickly it can deliver.

This leaves me wondering what is the best way to ask and receive with regard to my child.  Should I just visualize him being in my care again?  

I would like to ask readers for their ideas about this but at this time I have only given the site address to one other person so I should not expect too much response.  

As I said this blog is for my own self development and focus.  If others read it and find it interesting or helpful in some way that is great.

The one thing I have noticed time and time again is that when I allocate time to my own personal development everything is better.  I am happier and life seems to give me what I ask for.  Then I become complacent again and fall back into the day to day rut being reactive again.  Then life returns to it normal ebb of ups and downs.

I am often inspired by something and on a high for a few months.  This happened when my son brought me a copy of The Secret.   I was highly motivated by it for a few months and everything around me started to improve.   In virtually every aspect of my life there was a measurable and significant improvement.

I then decided I would continue to work with the some of the things suggested as well as other things on a daily basis but again I always had an excuse to put them off for another day until I they were almost forgotten.  I am sure many others have the same problem as this.

That was almost a year ago and I have just experienced the worst year of my entire life in terms of personal relationships.  I was introduced to a psychopath and he had a field day playing around with my life.  I am almost 50 and had no experience with such people and there for did not even have inkling as to what was going on.

I will spare you the long sordid details but he took away my girl friend and our baby.  The girl friend is now addicted to drugs (crystal meth) like the guy and he is on the run with arrest warrants to two countries.  Sadly the girlfriend is in hiding with him along with my child.
 
Until this happened I have lead a relatively simple life in that it was peaceful without any drama and intrigue.  I want this simple life again now.  I have been through the emotional wringer feeling extreme depression, hurt, anger, frustration and defeat.  

There was a time when I actually thought about working with my thoughts but I was holding on to hatred and revenge, and did not want to let those feelings go.  I knew that if I did work with my thoughts the only logical conclusion would be to let those go and embrace feelings of love.

I knew that to get what I want I must work with the universe and not against it.  I knew that the negativity I was immersed in would not get me what I wanted but I just could not let go. 

I have finally decided that it is time to get my life back on track.  I have pulled out the secret and played it again along with some other materials I have and can see the futility of what I was doing and how I was just bringing more anger, pain and frustration into my life.

This blog is an attempt to focus my thoughts and develop daily routine for personal development and realignment with the universe.   The mere act of thinking about this stuff on a daily basis will help me break one out of the reactive mode and give the mind constructive things to work with.
