Years ago, my honey, Robin, and I planned a trip back to his homeland, Australia. Part of that trip entailed me driving. I knew that they drive on the opposite side of the road than Americans do. What I did not pay too much attention to was the fact that the driver’s seat is on the other side of the car.
When we initially arrived in Australia, Robin did most of the driving. Then at the point I decided to take the car, I was sure I knew what I was in store for and got into the car as I normally do at home, just to realize it was not the driver’s side of the car in Australia. It was the passenger side of the car. The steering wheel was on the right. What I thought I knew, I really did not. Even having been in the car with Robin driving, my habits of thought were so set that I still got into the wrong side of the car when I decided to drive.
By the end of our vacation, I was a pro at driving on the other side of the road from the opposite side of the car. It felt awkward, but once I was aware of the rules of driving in a different country, I became more confident and was easily able to navigate my way.
The Law of Attraction is very similar to that experience. Once you figure out how it works, you will be able to navigate through your life more easily and confidently, and be able to get to all of the destinations you wish.
The Law of Attraction states that whatever you put your attention, emotion, and energy into you will attract more of in your life, whether it’s something you want or something you don’t want. Where I put the emphasis is on the emotion. It is the emotional charge you have on a particular subject that is magnetizing more of that to you. Your thoughts are the engine, your emotions are the fuel.
What does that mean? That means every thought and desire you have creates a signal in the Universe and draws that desire to you. That means both positive and negative things. The Universe only provides what you put your attention on.
Once you figure out this simple truth, it is like blinders that have been placed on your eyes are taken away. You come to realize that you are the creator of your life and in complete control over it. When I first sat down in that car in Australia and saw that I was in the wrong seat, I was both relieved and scared at the same time. When you first discover and can see the Universal Law of Attraction working in every aspect of your life, you may experience the same feeling.
The next step of course is to get into that driver’s seat, turn on the car and go. You may be a little unsteady at first, but with every successful turn and navigation from one place to the other, your confidence will build.
You will soon realize another truth; you are exactly in life where you choose to be. Yes. You chose it. Your thoughts brought into your life exactly what you focused upon. Once you realize you are control then you can decide where you want to go next. This law means that you must take responsibility for where you are in order to control where you want to go next.
On my trip I was trying to get to a hotel and got hopelessly lost. I eventually stopped the car, instead of continuing to go in the wrong direction. I did not blame anyone for my plight, because I was the one driving and I was the one who had gotten lost. Once I figured out where I was and where I wanted to go on the map, I turned down the next road that took me right to my destination.
Once you figure out the rules of driving your life and that where you are going and where you end up is directly connected to your desire to go there, then you can relax a little and look at the scenery. Enjoy the trip because you know that you are in control and know without a doubt you will arrive at your destination.
