My brother and sister mentioned this documentary, based on a book, called 'The Secret' quite a few times and asked me to watch it if I found an opportunity. Few days ago, I did. And, I do not have words to describe how awesome it is.
When I look back at my life, I realize that everything that I have achieved has been based on this one secret - law of attraction. I kept thinking or talking about something, and the universe responded, "your wish is my command". I got every single thing that I thought about, I wanted passionately or even what I feared ( simply 'cause I spent too much time in thinking about it). When I was in school, I used to think whatever course I choose in college, I'll never be an Engineer, and that's exactly what I became. As a child, I used to say whatever I do, I will never be a teacher. Guess what, my first job was that of a lecturer in an Engineering college! Though, I loved doing it and now I really like the idea of teaching. Then, while teaching I used to think of never joining a software company; and lo & behold, there I was - in one of the best software companies of India! Of course, I have not regretted any of these experiences of my life; rather, they are really close to my heart.
Then, sometimes I did think about what I really wanted to do - like going to US for an onsite assignment & I did. I wanted to stay out of India, in a developed country, for some time and here I am, living in Qatar. I wanted a girl as a first child with so much passion that I might have not wanted anything else till now. And my first born is a daughter. Then, when I became pregnant second time, all I used to think was about having a son and I did. But secretly, I used to worry a lot about how the delivery would go and yes, I had severe complications at that time.
So, in the end, this law of attraction has never failed me in big things in my life...and I am sure, even in small day-to-day tasks if I get down to reflecting on those.
So I have decided to take good advantage of this law. From now on, I am going to apply it to achieve two of my greatest dreams - be a writer and a restaurant owner. The law has already started manifesting itself since the day I started concentrating my thoughts on my dreams - I have got an offer to do some writing in a local magazine here. And to top it, the magazine is for womenfolk, dealing with their everyday struggles & issues, providing a platform for them to express themselves etc...so another of my wishes comes true, as I have always wanted to do something for the women.
In India, not many people discuss what they are planning to do, or what they want to do, even with their nearest ones. They have a saying that if you talk too much about something to many people, you might not achieve it. And, I have seen that this is true with a number of people, but now I understand the reason. It is not because of sharing with people, it is because of worrying too much about your wish not coming true. Also, most of the times, most of the people will have a negative thing to say to any one who dare to follow their dreams. Some people get easily affected by these negative vibes/suggestions/thoughts etc. So they end up not believing themselves, but other people, and hence, are unable to succeed.
But, I am going to share what I want to achieve. And one day, in another post of mine I would be writing about how my wishes came true. Amen.
