Law of Attraction: Jack and the Rock
S. Michael Windsor asked:
There is a person many of us know. They act very ignorant and spiteful towards other people, including their own family. They know they are always, not just some of the time but, always, right. No one wants to be around them, but they do give them attention simply because they are ‘family’. They have married into the family as an in-law and have been such a pain ever since. Many of us have already experienced this, many have fortunately not. But for those of us who have, we always go back to the same thought in reference to this particular person. That ever lasting wonder of “how in the world could any human being act like such a jack ***?” Now I am now calling anyone names, I am merely stating the very first thing it seems this particular person acts like.
How does this behavior become so strong that it takes over their entire character even though no one wants to be even 5 feet away from them in a room? This particular person I have noticed likes to only focus on the things that are going wrong in his life. He does not show any form of appreciation for good deeds done for him, he just sees where they ‘messed up’. As you can see, this person is applying the law of attraction like a master! I do kid a bit when I say that, but yes, he seems to have mastered attracting bad things. And at first glance it seems this is what he wants, but that is very doubtful. When a person focuses their mind and energy on anything and make that thought the dominant thought, it becomes a reality. Wow! This is great, but I thought we were talking about ‘Jack’.
The law of attraction is unbiased. It can be good for yourself, or it can be rather bad. This is simply because our minds do not know the difference between good and bad. Our minds simply see a picture or thought and work like crazy just to make sure that thought becomes a reality.
Jack has mastered this technique. He has successfully found a way to focus every waking moment (as well as sleep time, it seems) to think of every terrible thing that he does NOT want to happen only to wake up and find that all he did not want became a reality. Jack is a very disappointed person. His disappointment leads him to anger and resentment. He blames it all on his family and friends and *poof!* the LOA genie grants his wishes! Only these wishes have residuals! Now this guy is in a tailspin. How can he help this? Just turn off bad thoughts and pretend they are not there just to see everything fall apart? This is definitely something a person of this nature would think, which is obviously attracting more negative.
The thing I have found that is the best way to get out of a bad day is just to accept the bad day for what it is and refer to is as an education. Yes! An education. If something happened that was undesired, we must have made an not-so-preferred choice somewhere down the line that lead to this outcome. Getting out of a bad day rut can be quite draining, but all of us can do it. Just a couple of days ago as I was driving to the set a rock hit my windshield on the far left side and made a ***** stretch about ten inches across my windshield. The funny thing about this is that this is the third rock to damage my windshield in six months. Ok smarty, where’s YOUR lesson? Unfortunately, I am not able to stop flying rocks on the 405 freeway, but I can avoid flying negative thoughts bolting towards my psyche. This is definitely a tough thing to do for me since this kind of stuff really can ruin your day. But I was not going to let this little piece of gravel was not going to ruin a thing. I just relaxed and tried to visualize a new windshield that would not cost $800.
As I walked into work I recalled an old friend who owned a body shop in North Hollywood who used to lend me a hand and really helped out with my car repairs years ago during a really drawn out struggle in life and I thought I would give him a call. I am very thankful that I did, because this old friend I had not spoken to in a long while was getting married that Saturday and I was able to give him my regards and attend his wedding. He thought I had just moved into another area or just left and gone away like many in this city. I may have moved and had become much busier, but I was never too busy for an old friend who helped me get through the really tough times in life. Just being around for his wedding meant a lot to him and I feel as though if it was not for the rock on the windshield, he would have never thought I even cared. I just wish I could have had that invitation forwarded to my new address.

Attract Whatever You Want in Life
Ruth Brown asked:
In life, you become what you believe you are. We’ve all heard the term ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. We talk about self-defeating attitudes, self-sabotage and courting failure. We believe that self development means erasing those negatives.
Somehow, in all the talk of negatives and defeatist attitudes, we neglect to look at the flip side of the personal self development equation – the Universal Law of Attraction. The law of abundance attraction is the base belief behind the power of positive thinking. The Law of Attraction simply states that we attract what we want in life. Stop and REALLY think about that for a moment.
We attract what we want in life.
According to this quantum law of attraction, what you have in your life right now is what you have invited into your life by focusing on it. But, you might be thinking, I WANT to be wealthy. If it’s true that we attract what we want in life, why is it that I’m struggling just to meet my bills? Let me tell you a story.
There is a salesman that I know. A few years ago, he was struggling towards a goal he had set for himself – to achieve 100 sales a week for four straight weeks. It never failed, though. For three weeks, he would write 100 sales – but no matter what he did, he could never hit his goal that fourth week. “I was doing everything right,” he told me. “Every morning, I started off with a positive affirmation – I will write 100 sales this week. It SHOULD have worked. But that fourth week eluded me time after time. Then one morning, I stopped to really listen to myself. ‘I will write 100 sales this week’, my mind said. ‘but I never can get that fourth week,’ I answered myself. I wasn’t focusing on the positive – I’m three-fourths of the way to my goal. I was seeing the negative. I decided right then and there that I WILL do it this week… and I did.”
Abundance attraction begins with believing that good things will happen to you and for you – because you attract them. Like attracts like, the old proverb goes. We’ve all seen it in action. There are people who appear to be blessed with every good thing that life has to offer. They have a beautiful home, a beautiful spouse, happiness galore – and everything just seems to drop into their laps.
What if I told you that you could BE one of those lucky, blessed people? You can. All it takes is understanding the secret of really believing that good things will come to you.
Every Sunday morning when I was growing up, I woke to a radio program that ended with the words:
“Something good is going to happen to you today.”
When you understand the Law of Attraction, you’ll understand just how very powerful that one simple sentence is. By believing that Something Good is going to happen, you are taking the first steps to making it happen. Open yourself to believing in the good things that will come to you, and by the force of that Universal Law, attraction will begin to work in your favor.
Something good is going to happen to you today. Something good HAS happened to you today. All you need to do is open the door to let the good things in.

Law of Attraction: Hit and Run
S. Michael Windsor asked:
Recently a woman hit another person’s car in a parking lot here in L.A. The funny thing is that the person who actually hit the car happened to be famous and decided to look at her own car and move along. She allegedly did not even regard the other individual’s car, which had been parked simply because she needed to get some shopping done at the strip mall. The famous person went along her merry way and was captured by the paparazzi and now is being charged for hit-and-run. So, what is the matter with some people? Did we as the public do this to them or did they do this to themselves? My own personal belief is that, you got it, she did it to her self.
This is yet another case of the law of attraction at its finest. Now I am not saying I have been side-by-side with this particular individual nor have I been inside her head, but one thing is for sure, there is a lot of negativity surrounding this girl daily. Why would this be? She can’t possibly be focusing on just bad things happening! Right, but in many cases a person could not be focusing on anything positive at all and bringing all the lovely negativities in life right to their doorstep. How does a person change this?
People can change their negative experiences by, oh yeah, focusing on positive outcomes. Things people want are what they need to focus on. But what one DOES with these new opportunities is another story. We need to be ready to accept new opportunities reflecting what we have been focusing on as they come or they may very well disappear. One thing I would like to mention about what one person told me about the law of attraction is that “if you think about it long enough and hard enough it will become an actual thing!” Okay smarty pants, I want a money tree to pop out of my dresser in my bedroom. I am not ridiculing anyone I am merely stating that the opportunities the law of attraction brings upon you need to be…ACTED upon. Yes! People need to take action in order to get the outcome they so desire.
I work in Hollywood and have always had quite a time gaining access to ANYTHING in the business, but I have gotten through the doors I had focused on and succeeded. Now I am involved in other interests as well like this writing here. I read constantly and understand a lot of the principles that are the hot selling item out there. In reference to many of the ‘get rich quick’ programs out there, I really do not like the way they make people pay and pay only to make the person more needy when the answers are right there before their very eyes. Gain the knowledge, focus, and take ACTION. Ok well it’s time to go, got to get to Malibu.
