Life is full of paradoxes. Yes, life is a garden full of roses — I am not really sure if it’s the thorns that have roses or the roses that have the thorns.
As we usher in the new year, there are those of us who look back at 2016 with a smile, while others look at it through a blur of tears brought about by the vagaries of life.
There is no doubt that 2016 presented a cocktail of feelings; joy, sadness, triumphs and defeats, thanksgiving hope, as well as despair.
The truth is that life can be an exhibition of chaos and at the same time a parade of bliss.
They say life is as fluid as water, with no shape, colour, skeleton, odour or preferences. Whatever form you give it, it takes.
It can smell like anything and fit anywhere.
Whatever tunnel you open for it, it will always follow. It never argues, doesn’t know how to argue or debate - always submissive and ready to obey.
In brief, out of all the things that God created, water tells you, ‘Sir/Madam, Your wish is my command.’
That is the essence of the law of attraction — said to be the most powerful law in the universe. It is as impartial as the law of gravity; it doesn’t matter who you are, where you are, or what you believe.
This year, 2017, is just like water, you can make it look like anything and use it to achieve anything. You can shape it to a glorious experience and make it the best year ever of your life - irrespective of your past experiences.
The law of attraction is a timeless and universal law — it has has been at the centre of every joy and grief that the human race has ever experienced since creation.
You may not be aware of it, but you are either its beneficiary or victim. This is the only law in the universe that God submits to.
God respects this law. This is the one thing God and the devil agree on without any argument.
Thoughts create feelings, feelings inspire actions and actions produce results. These results produce our daily living experience.
The Book of Genesis says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was formless and empty... God looked... and saw that it was good.”
Today, the earth is no longer formless and empty. See, things may be formless and empty in your life, but despite the formlessness and emptiness, it is well, it is good.
Remember that what you see is what you get. So, start changing how you look at things in your life and the things you are looking at will start to change.
That is the core of the law of attraction. The most important thing in your life is not your current reality, but your imagination. Albert Eisten said that imagination is more important than facts.
Your destiny is a battlefield of contradictory philosophies, facts against opinions and reality against imagination. Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked that: “Imagination rules the world.”
Ans so let what you think be stronger than what you feel. Let what you desire be more dominant than what you lack.
What is it that is cooking in your mind continually? What do you think about all the time? What is your regular mental focus? What kind of thoughts do you entertain very early in the morning and very late at night every day?
Your dominant thought is the magnet that attracts fortune or misfortune in your life.
How are you feeling about 2017? Whatever your feeling, choose positive imagination over formless and empty reality.
Make a choice to see good in all the mess in your life. The law of attraction says that if you believe in something strong enough, if you imagine it long enough and keep on moving towards it no matter what, if your daily dominant thought is of that good thing, surely, good things will happen to your good thoughts.
