I know it has been a very long time since I have posted here and I’m sorry. I got so caught up in my work at school that I’ve neglected my blogs. I’ve been reading a new book called “The Magic” which is part of Rhonda Byrne’s series of books concerning the law of attraction. Even though I have been actively doing the activities within the book it is not until today that I realize how its been manifesting in my life. I had a long talk with a friend of mine about situations with our lives that we learn from and that we wind up accepting. It was a poignant conversation and I think it helped her to think differently about her situation and herself. One thing I am realizing is that even though I may have my ups and downs that my thought process is thinking. I am converting my negative thoughts and feeling slowly each day. I love that I am doing this and am ecstatic about the changes that are making its way into my life. There are times when I poke fun of a person/situation (I didn’t say I was perfect) but I am honestly working on it. It will take some working on but my current goal is to finish this 28 day program (yes the new book contains 28 days of exercises that you do to become a more grateful person) and to grow as an individual as a result of it! Also before I end I must say that I am through this experience becoming a more spiritual and hopeful person and ruminating less and less over past hurts. I also realize that I am finding more things relating to the law of attraction that I research and the more that I find the more impressed and invested in this process I become. I found a tape of the cast of the secret on Oprah and I heard something that changed me:
“True forgiveness is when you can look back on a painful experience and be thankful for that experience” ~James Arthur Ray.
This quote had me in tears because it made me realize that every negative experience that I’ve encountered has shaped me into who I am today! When this was mentioned tears began to stream down my face because I realized that even though I am beginning to instill more confidence into myself that there are still moments where I look on past hurts and think why me? I am a different person now then I was four years ago and I’m happy about that :)! However I also realize that I still have some things to work on but for the most part I’m just happy that I am more confident with myself and the path that I am going to in my life! For the issues that I have resolved I just want to say to the people that hurt me: Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord for throwing me learning curves along the way!
