The secret is happy thoughts
HAPPY NEW YEAR? Yes, it sure will be!
I'm reading a book that my mother swears works. It's called "The Secret".
It explains the power of possitive thoughts. It kinda goes with what I've said all along...
"Happiness is a choice you make daily."
Basically it says that the law of attraction determines your life. You are what you think. If you think negative "bad" thoughts then that is what you will attract to your life. But if you think happy thoughts then happy things will come to you.
It is true that bad things happen. You'd all agree that I've been through my fair share, but dwelling on it... in my opinion, only makes more bad things happen. Have I really been making it worse by asking for what I don't want? Time to change the frequency of my thoughts.
Yesterday I put this theory into practice. I had to take Kaytee to a doctors appt. We were supposed to be early to do paperwork, but with a bad storm coming in and not knowing where the place was, I didn't think that was going to be possible. I repeated over in my head..."I want to be ontime." We ended up being 10 minutes early.
I think the secret is to not worry. Keep your thoughts with what you do want...not focusing on what you don't want. The book says you should vision the events you want to happen and that will become reality. I'm not convinced of that...but hey, it couldn't hurt right?
Don't worry...be happy!

I'm not convinced either, and it seems to me that it's possible to turn it around and say "bad things happened to you because you had the wrong thoughts." Sometimes things happen by blind luck, good or bad.
I do think it's possible to influence the course of events by what you do, and that if you think about what you want to do and how to do it, you're more likely to pull it off. As the saying goes, 80 percent of success is showing up. Practice is good too. When we were in Mexico last summer, even though I could read a lot of basic Spanish, I had the hardest time stringing even a few words together. (I was pretty much limited to "por favor" and "muchas gracias," which I guess are not bad ones to start with.) I hadn't practiced, so my brain didn't have the neural pathways already built and my mouth didn't have the muscle memory. If we'd stayed much longer I would probably have gotten some more words, and the more I spoke the easier it would have gotten.
But I don't think you'll improve your odds of winning the lottery just by visualizing yourself tooling around in a Mercedes. (If you do win, for heaven's sake let me know, and I'll start constructing my imaginary mansion immediately.)
