Someone mentioned Law of Attraction yesterday

as if it is this wacky thing.

Now look...

I get it. There's literally no scientific proof this goofy thing works. Despite how much sciency stuff they use to explain that it is real, there is no "proof".

Okay.

There's no proof that any god exists either, but people believe in it. And honestly, organized religion is far more dangerous to humanity, which has been proven throughout history, so...🤷‍♀ if you are going to say god is real, then other people have the right to say the Law of Attraction is real. There's literally no scientific proof of either existing.

That's logic.

Yes, Law of Attraction can be used in really terrible ways. Anyone telling you that all you have to do is think positively and believe you will get what you want and if you don't get it, it's all your fault, they are garbage, shitty people. Don't listen to them. Just like if your pastor tells you anyone not part of your church worships Satan, he's a garbage person.

As long as people aren't trying to manipulate you into something, these beliefs can coexist with no issues.

Me personally, I like LoA. It gives me goals and hope. It allows me to be active in my life because I create a goal, visualize having it and create a plan to receiving it through direct actions. If you aren't doing the actions, you aren't going to get what you want. The Universe will steer you towards progress as long as you meet it half way.

Have I experienced it? Yeah!

Have I experienced god? No.

Ain't nothing wrong with goal creation and hope.

I have a different approach to this sort of thing. For me, to believe is something/have hope, means I have expectations.

Having expectations, even to expecting I'll wake up tomorrow, can bring disappointment. So, I have no expectations of people or life.

I live, act, react, respond (or don't), etc., in a positive way (or the best I can given the time/situation/event, etc.), and take what comes.

If good comes of it, then I'm pleased/happy and if not, I look at what I did and see if I can incorporate that particular action into my daily life. Still, with no expectation.

If bad/negative comes, then I look at what I'm doing and see if I need to change. Either way, since I had no expectation I'm not disappointed when bad comes, but I'm pleased/happy when it's positive.

Yes, there is probably seem deep psychological explanation for how I arrived at this, but that's okay, it works for me.
