There’s always more to learn about the law of attraction!
My first encounter with the law of attraction began 7 years back when my manager gifted me “The Power of the Subconscious Mind” by Joseph Murphy, which was followed by learning more by reading The Secret, and so on.
I have accomplished many things by applying the law of attraction in my life. I have been on and off with it, and I have had my share of difficulties and setbacks too, however, every time I hit rock bottom, I get back to the law of attraction more diligently than before. I am sharing a story about how I realized that even if I may think I know enough about the law of attraction, there is always more to it.
For all these years, I always applied visualization to achieve whatever I wanted in my life but I never gave gratitude much focus. A small incident helped me realize the importance of having a Gratitude Journal. Although I have been thankful in my life, I never took the effort to jot down my gratitude every day. but, as A part of my New Year’s resolution, I started writing it down every night.
Two years ago I lost one pair of my favorite earrings. It was a lovely intricately designed piece that I really liked. I searched every nook and corner of my home, and not just once. I would continue to search for it frequently in these last two years. You might be surprised to know it cost only Rs 150, about $2 US, yet I could never bring myself to throw away the earring, even though it was petty amount for me to buy another cheap pair but I just liked that pair so much. I liked them so much that when I recently made a special place to hang all of my jewelry, I hung it there too, even though it was just a single earing now.
It was only a few weeks since I had started writing in my Gratitude Journal, and guess what? My mother found it wrapped up in something that she wore 2 years ago! I was so happy to have it back, and although it seemed like such a minuscule thing, that night I expressed my joy and gratitude in my journal about finding it and dated it 22/01/2020. When I was writing it down, I did not remember at all that a pair of my gold earrings that had cost me Rs 11000, around $170 US, had also been missing for the last two months.
The next day, I was looking for something in my wardrobe and lo and behold! My gold earrings dropped into my lap! Yes, this happened on 23/01/2020. I immediately thought of my gratitude journal and certainly it happened because of it. It
was no less than a miracle to find something small after two months of losing it, and it only happened because I had expressed gratitude to the Universe. Even though at that time it did not feel of much significant because of if’s monetary value, it had a lot of value to me. And the very next day I found something that was very valuable.
I only want to tell people to have gratitude for everything in their lives. No matter how small it may seem today, even food on the table, not everyone can afford it. To be able to read these inspiring stories, some people are not blessed with eyes to do that either.
In the end, I want to thank the team of The Secret, all the people who teach the law of attraction, YouTubers, writers, and also the people who share their stories here. I am also on my path to manifesting something greater, and I really do believe that will be back with another inspiring story soon!
Much love and blessings to everyone reading this. May the Universe conspire to help achieve your dreams soon!
