The Law of Attraction

No Pictures in this one- just one from the heart

How many of you have heard of the “Law of Attraction”

If you have great. If not read on and see how the ‘Law’ will help you in your life.

I have to admit when I first came across the LoA (Law of Attraction) I was pretty skeptical.

I  come from a religious background where I had to go to Sunday school EVERY Sunday – even if I did not feel well ( I did try to fake my ‘unwellness’ but Dad always saw past that)😃

At one time I thought I wanted to become a priest and I had several conversations with our resident Priest. He was a really great guy. He took time out to listen to me, but soon enough he stopped me in my tracks and told me straight ‘

“You will never become a priest, that is not you and you are probably trying to please your parents. Don’t. Go out into the world and be yourself, be happy and a path will be shown to you”

And he never mentioned God.. WOW this was something I was unprepared to hear and for many, many years I never gave those conversations another thought – until now. Until I came across the Law of Attraction.

Why now – well I have been able to do a lot of thinking. At the age of 61 I have found myself without a job. Covid -19  seems to be having a massive impact on the employment space.

I doubt I will ever work for anyone else again. I have been enjoying being my own boss and doing what I want to do when I want to do it.😃

Let me get back on track….what I have realised about those conversations I had all those years ago is that they have been with me in the back ground all the time– it was just that I was unaware of them. Listening to the LoA brought all those memories back.

The Law of Attraction is simple really – basically you attract what you desire or not by the way you think about things. For example, if you are constantly worried about debt -you will attract more debt, if you constantly think and believe that you will get that dream home, that new car, that holiday you have dreamed of, the LoA says you will get them. Maybe not straight away but in the fullness of time and all the positive thoughts you have, will materialize into those things you positively believe in.

A few years ago (2010) I learned how to paraglide. I was happy as larry in the air. I went on a few trips to Spain and Bulgaria and had wonderful times- UNTIL – in 2014 I had an accident in Spain which crushed my patella into a multitude of pieces. I could not walk or stand. The ambulance service was called, and I was taken to the local hospital where I clearly remember the consultant surgeon asking me if I “wanted to buy his house!! Oh, and by the way did I have insurance so I could go to a private hospital” the answer to both questions was No. In the case of the insurance I was covered under the EU agreement at the time for reciprocal treatment.

I was duly operated on but the surgery did not go well and I had to arrange (via my own insurance) to be flown home.

Once back, I was taken to my local NHS Hospital where a skilled surgeon put my knee back together.

After 12 weeks of recovery I was just out of plaster and attempting to walk and bend my knee but it seemed to be “locked up”. My surgeon decided I needed further surgery which duly went ahead. I was told there was so much scar tissue that the knee joint could literally not move. I awoke from surgery to find that my leg was strapped to a piece of equipment  that kept the joint/leg moving.

After a week in hospital I returned home and was determined that I would walk again, however, as time moved on my knee was really starting to get very, very painful. I was doing all the daily exercises and then one evening I was in so much pain I had to be taken back into hospital.

Fortunately for me, one of the interns recognised me and got me admitted almost immediately. I was concerned that the joint was infected – it was not. I was given some pain killers and returned home.

A week later I was back at the hospital to see my specialist and told him that I was still in pain. I was still struggling to walk.

And here comes the crunch – he told me to sit on the bed, he partially pushed my leg back underneath the bed and told me that I probably would never walk properly again and told me to go to X-ray. Which I did. Funny thing was on the way to X-ray Dept. I could almost walk perfectly again- NO PAIN whatsoever.  I had the X-ray,  returned to my surgeon and told him what had happened.

I showed him that I could walk and he was stunned. He could not believe what I was showing him, even my wife looked amazed as she knew what I had gone through a few nights earlier.

My surgeon told me to go home and do all my exercises which I did. It took me some 3 weeks to be able to walk again properly.

Little did I know it, but this was the LoA at work. I was determined I wanted a positive outcome, determined I would walk again – never once thought I would not walk again- **Baam**I was walking again.

If you think that is a one off- think again. I went back to paragliding and the very next year had another meeting with the ground which broke my right ankle and I had a tibia plateau shunt in my left leg. I won’t bore you with details but this time I was in a pickle. It really did look like I would now be wheelchair bound.

The same specialist surgeon was not judgmental just resigned to the fact I was back in for surgery. Oh- this time I had my accident in Tenerife- and got flown home in a Lear jet- thank goodness for insurance.

It took me some 8 weeks and I was back up and walking – again I never once thought I would never walk again.

This too was the power of LoA. I knew I would heal, and I did.

It is hard to explain and quantify what has happened to me, but I know that that the power of the mind is a great force. A force so strong that if we truly believe in what we want for the future – then that future will become a reality.

I am no longer worrying about debt, I no longer worry about where the next penny/dollar is coming from because I know what I want for tomorrow and I know absolutely that I will reach my goal. I will never give up.

That is the Power of the ‘Law of Attraction’

Now you can go and find out for yourself and learn to use LoA

Keep safe

Sincerely
