“We Create our World“

We often claim about how things are out of control and how things could have been better, and all that. I write this article to bring out how wrong we are when we think like that. Yes, many a times certain things are indeed beyond our control, but more often than not, they are not. This article is from my personal experience on the “Law of attraction”. Many know what it is, but do not believe in it, while many others do not know what it is. The term does sound funny, and to those who haven’t heard this term, the first things that come to their mind are things related to love. But the name is actually deceptive.

To start with, I will begin with a famous dialogue by Sharukh Khan from the bollywood movie, Om Shanti Om, “Itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai … ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai” which literally translates into “I have wanted you so much, so truly … that the entire universe has conspired for me to get you”. In the movie, it was in the context of his character wanting to be awarded at a movie awards ceremony, and similarly, the same formula works in the real world as well. It doesn’t mean that we simply stop working hard and give in to wishful thinking; it simply is about the power of positive thought. And it is also not just a philosophy of optimism moving mountains; even quantum physics agrees about the power our consciousness has over the world around us. Thus our thoughts, both positive and negative can shape our reality, therefore if we start cultivating positive thoughts, we shall begin to see positive changes around us, for unlike physics, where the opposites attract, in the view of the law of attraction, positivity attracts positivity, while negativity attracts negativity.

Yes, it is difficult to be positive, especially in today’s world, but at the same time, we all want to be happy, and I think that reason is enough to make an effort to be positive.

I end this article with a quote, “Be happy, be positive…the slightest of light can pierce through the thickest of darkness”. Do good and you will attract the same.
