In my effort to remedy depression and crappy self esteem, I have done my fair share of reading about the Law of Attraction. One theme that seems to come up in all my readings about the LoA, is the notion that you get what you think about, most of the time. This idea has often taunted me since I’ve gotten things that haven’t ever occurred to me (like a lump in my boob), and I have failed to see things I have thought a lot about (like situationally appropriate shoes). Acknowledging my confusion about this scares me because according to the guru’s, noticing that you don’t have something, or giving attention to the lack of something, is like a violation of the law, and you end up imprisoned by your own thoughts.

I recently heard Wayne Dyer say, “You don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are”. Considering this statement makes it much easier for me to wrap my mind around why I haven’t attracted all that many shoes lately. I am not now, nor have I ever been, any type of footwear. If the best way to adhere to the law is to focus on attracting what you are, I would like to focus on being a big ball of prosperity, success, world travel, and happiness. Wait. Scratch the “big ball” part. Rather, I would like to be a beautifully figured, aptly proportioned, entity of prosperity, success, world travel, and happiness … who has also been graced with an abundant supply of situationally appropriate footwear.

Apparently I think about being bitter a lot. Hmmm…I guess it at least works for my blog and stuff. Hey we miss you around here. Hope you can blog more often so we can find out about your prosperity!

Thank you, Ben. I’ve really missed you as well. I think I should have put on there something about also being an entity of confidence and stellar multi-tasking and time management skills! Some things have recently changed in my schedule, so hopefully, I will be bitterly bugging you much more often now!

You are already beautifully figured, very successful (especially in overcoming adversity), and certainly more traveled than I. We just have to work on the prosperity part – which will definitely come with the ideas you are working on! 🙂

Thank you, Pen! It just occurred to me that I didn’t put on that list having to focus on having a great mom, because I already have one of those! ❤

So you attract beautiful souls with buttloads of talent, my old friend?

As a matter of fact, I have been super fortunate to encounter quite a few beautiful souls with buttloads of talent! YOU being one of them!
I had to read your comment a couple of times, because when I first ready it my braid saw “butt hole souls”? Hahaaa! Then, when I read it again, I laughed at myself for even seeing that, and realized it was one of the nicest things I’ve ever heard. Thank you, old friend. Thank you! 🙂

Hmmm… trying to figure out what I should be so that I can attract it… shoes is a good idea. A good boxing match is another… so many options!

I’m commenting for the said “good luck” because I’m not a real fan of shoes. Oh yeah, & I’ve read and heard from those-kind-of-people who propose what we are/have is all in our heads. I, too, am proof that they do not know what they are saying. The ‘have’s’ always have the answers.

Happy to have your comment, and hope it brings you many years of good fortune 😉 I agree. I think “the everything…EVERYTHING” is all in our heads can get a little overboard sometimes!
