I have a personal story to share with you this week regarding something that's been happening in my life, and how that relates to the Law of Attraction. If you haven't heard about the Law of Attraction, let me give you a brief overview. It was made popular several years ago by the book The Secret, although it's a concept that has been around for a very long time.
Anyway, the point behind it is that your thoughts and emotions are actual vibrations that can be measured. Positive emotions like love and appreciation vibrate the fastest. And the negative, fear-based emotions like hatred, greed, or jealousy, vibrate very slowly. Think about it - when you feel loved and appreciated (or when you are experiencing loving or appreciating something), don't you feel good?? You feel like you can conquer the world! But on the other hand, when you feel negative emotions such as having to pay your bills when you don't have enough in your bank account, doesn't that make you feel bad?
So how does this relate to my story? Well, for most of my adult life, I have felt that I was supposed to do 'more.' What that meant, I wasn't exactly sure. I love my 'day job' of being a professor, but I always felt a nagging in my heart that there was something else that I was supposed to do as well.
Rewind about 10 years ago, and my vision started to take shape a bit. I envisioned some sort of online learning community where we all help each other to be better versions of ourselves. - a place for self-growth in a community setting. I had the idea. I just didn't have the technical or marketing skills to execute it. So about a year ago, I decided to put the Law of Attraction in action. And here's what happened...
I made a vision board. For those of you who don't know what that is, I literally got a poster board and pasted photos on it - things or experiences that represented my goals. I put words on it like "helping people" and "paying it forward." I hung it up in my house and looked at it every day.
Not much happened for a while. But about 2 months ago, God/The Universe just plopped something into my lap as if saying, "Here you go, Carol. Here's the opportunity you've been looking for all these years."
What is it? I'm so happy you finally asked! ;-) It's called ABetterMeMagazine.com. Several months ago, the owners of the site found me through an article I wrote on another motivational website. Since then, we have formed a long-distant friendship, and then it happened. This website needed someone to take it over. It needed a vision. It needed passion. In short, it needed me (not to sound full of myself! Lol). But I needed them too. The owners of the site have the technical and marketing background that I was so sorely lacking all these years. And I had the passion and commitment to carry out their vision of where the wanted the site to go. In other words, they are the missing piece to my puzzle. And hopefully I am to theirs as well.
We have just re-branded ourselves (the photo on this blog is the new logo - based on an ancient Celtic symbol of Mind/Body/Spirit and personal growth). And we also just re-launched the site. And I have BIG plans. Here's a sneak peek: webinars, video web show ('A Better Me TV'), opportunities for writers and authors to make their work known to the world. And much, much, more.
So please take the time to check out our site: ABetterMeMagazine.com. And also please 'like' us on Facebook (click here).
If the Law of Attraction worked for me, it can work for you. It might have taken a while to manifest my dream, but it happened. So don't give up on your dream if it hasn't come to fruition yet. Keep your vision and take action! It will happen someday!! :)
