What do you think about all this “Law of Attraction” stuff that’s so in right now? I consider myself a realist and I was skeptical when I started hearing about it. But then something so bizarre happened that it totally changed my mind. I now believe that we absolutely create our lives from the inside out. The following is a TRUE STORY, I promise.
I read an article about a woman who wanted to test the law of attraction theory. She decided that she would pick something so peculiar that if it happened, she could feel certain that it was the result of her “attracting” this 
result into her life. She decided to focus her thoughts on playing cards. She told herself that she would find playing cards on the street or in some obscure place. I don’t recall how long she did this, but very soon afterward she began to find playing cards in the strangest places.
I read this and thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. I decided to prove to myself that it was ridiculous. So I decided to try it. For one week I thought about cards. I imagined myself finding one. The image was very vivid in my mind. Only one week passed and guess what I discovered in the parking lot of my apartment building? You guessed it, the Ace of Diamonds! I was shocked! I told my best friend about this crazy phenomenon. Some time later she gave me an envelop. I opened it and inside was a 7 of Hearts. She had found it lying on the street next to her favorite ice cream parlor. I don’t remember how long she channeled her thoughts on cards, but it worked for her too.
I dare you to try this experiment. Especially if you think the law of attraction is a joke. I’ve been thinking about this story a lot lately as I move into this new phase of life. What do I want to create? My life is an empty canvas and I am the painter. I can create what I want. This time I’m going for something a bit more lofty than an Ace.
Maybe there are always playing cards lying around but we ignore them or don’t notice because we are not looking for them. Even if so, it would still be valuable to seek out and look for what you want. Then maybe you’d see opportunities that otherwise would pass you by. But I think there may be more to it, one way or another.. Here is something similar I think: a couple of times in the past few years, I have decided to try to just be more open to the world. I did not do anything specifically different, I just made a conscious effort to be open to people and whatever came my way. I don’t think I looked or acted any different outwardly, but maybe I gave off a vibe or my body language was different, I don’t know. But almost immediately when I’d take on this attitude, everyone and their dog started interacting with me. In fact it kind of became annoying and I think that’s why I don’t do it more often.
After that incident I’ve had playing cards show up at certain times – it’s kind of funny. Yes, we create our reality. Sometimes it takes longer than we want, or the outcome is slightly different than what we envisioned, but it does happen. Life is unlimited!
