sharing secrets

I've been thinking a lot lately about getting out of ruts, breaking free from stereotypes and reputations, avoiding bad things.

For some reason "bad things" just keep happening. Enter frustration, doubt, confusion, worry. That led to indecision and not doing anything. Total ugh. Total rut.

"At times many of us let that enemy of achievement- even that culprit 'self defeat'- dwarf our aspirations, smother our dreams, cloud our vision, and impair our lives. The enemy's voice whispers in our ears, 'You can't do it.' 'You're too young.' 'You're too old.' 'You're nobody.' This is when we remember that we are created in the image of God. Reflection on this truth provides a profound sense of strength and power. " -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

I read this quote after reading the scriptures on readthescriptures.com. They have great little gems at the end of each reading like this one. Just one more reason why I like that site.

Last night at a meeting I watched The Secret. I read the book about two years ago, so I knew what was coming. But I was amazed at the impact that it had on me again. If you haven't seen the movie or read the book, I think you should. It could be life changing, and wouldn't that be great?


The Secret is all about the law of attraction. "What you think about you bring about." Feelings accompany those thoughts. You are constantly throwing those feelings and vibes out into the universe (now I know you're all thinking, "She's totally lost it now.") and the universe brings you what you "ask" for by sending those feelings and vibes out.

In my effort to avoid all bad things from happening, I was still focusing on what I didn't want. And crap kept coming back to me. "What you resist persists".

So today I will be working on being aware of my thoughts and feelings. Sending out lots of grateful, abundant, loving vibes. I'm gonna let my imagination run wild. I'm gonna go shopping in the universe's catalog and place some orders. Putting things in my virtual cart. What do I want out of this life? What do I want for my family?

Magic. I want to live magically. Why not?

I'm totally open to what life has to offer- I'm excited for all the possibilities!

What are you dreaming of?

P.S. Melanie, your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to read that book (if you haven't already)! Tell me what you think! :)
