thank you all for your comments and opinions...

actually it seems i have not explained the topic clearly...though i tried to on page 2 (the very first post) but maybe its still not clear or maybe nobody read it...

anyways...you are all right in saying one should be happy with whatever they have (no matter how difficult it is) and we should learn to accept it...

Ok ... maybe I didn't explain the whole thing properly 😕, I will give you a few examples to let you know what exactly I was referring to... like suppose you want to reach a place at a particular time... and you make all sorts of preparations and leave well in advance so you're not late..but then something or the other happens on the way like maybe an accident or a road diversion or whatever and you end up being late inspite of everything you did to avoid it..

Or say you are really looking forward to weekend and all you want to do is just relax or do absolutely nothing but then you get some unexpected guests or you have to go somewhere or there is something or the other, due to which your actual plans of relaxing are disrupted...

So its these kind of simple everyday things/happenings that I was talking about where what you actually want does not happen and instead you get something you were really trying to avoid.. these are just 2 examples I could think of right now..

basically its not the complicated life sufferings or material things or big achievements or wishes that I am talking about... rather small and simple daily life situations ...which do not turn out the way we wanted them to instead we get something we are not happy about... 😳

This is my first post on this part of I-F...but I was bored and browsing and saw this by chance!

I follow the Secret too in my life and I believe it works...that the Universe conspires to give you what you want if you ask it the right way! As per the Law of Attraction rules, the Universe or the Power out there does not understand the word "no" "not" or anything which negates.

So in the example you gave above...if you are late for a meeting in spite of preparations, then it is because you are constantly thinking "I should not be late" as you get ready. Universe just catches onto the word "late" and you are late! 😛

I will give one simple example...during monsoons, when I return home from work, it would always be raining and I would invariably get soaked coming home. After learning to practise the Secret, I visualized myself reaching home dry and it worked! It might pour with rain when I am sitting in the bus, but when I actually reach my stop, the rain would stop and I would walk home dry!

It is the power of positive thinking...if you see yourself reaching the place in time as you prepare to go, you will never be late!! 😃

thanks for sharing your views... i dont know much about this "Secret" but i kind of understand what you have said...

thats what happens to me most of the time..the thing i m scared of the most happens to me..its probably my thinking that brings it... but sometimes its hard to control what you think...so instead to get what i actually want i expect the opposite of it...like in the same above example, if i have to reach on time for a particular meeting, i somehow expect that i will be late...for sure, something will happen and i will be late...so i start preparing myself for that... but instead again what i was expecting never happens and i reach on time...😆

i dont know if the whole things makes any sense...on one hand if i want something badly if i expect not to get it, i get it...but also if i m hoping to avoid something badly i get that bad thing too because i was trying to avoid it...

so it all depends on one's thinking i guess...

btw i was bored too when i made this topic...so when a person is really bored they tend to think deep on things that happen around them... atleast i do.. 😳

It's all a matter of chance really...sometimes there might be some residual negativity within you..hence you don't get what you want and feel unlucky..sometimes its the people around you, you have to learn to adjust to them to get your goals. Mostly its a mix of accepting what cannot be undone and then striving to get the things that you feel are within your reach. Acc to me, if you wish for 2342 things, you can't get all of them done, because your willpower gets divided. You will worry about getting late to work, then if you reach early, the anxiety will shift to whether you can meet your deadlines. If you focus on just one task however-that today I will work well and allow nothing to effect me, that task has more chance of being completed. It takes tremendous effort, and hence you will notice the trivialities of your life will always be a bit messed up coz they don't require that much willpower to change really.😆 It's all about seeing the bigger picture.😊

Not necessarily. Not always.
