What the Universe Can Give Us

There's a lot being said at the moment about Cosmic Ordering - perhaps you've seen or heard of "The Secret." It's so popular now that the title is a contradiction in its own terms.

So, what is it all about?

It all boils down to the Universal Law of Attraction. This simply says that you get back what you give out. Ok, so far, so simple. So, if you are misserable, bad tempered and generally a pain in the butt, that's what you're going to get back.

At the end of the day, its all just commonsense. It's just having the commonsense to recognise it. We all know that if we feel negative, then our mind will home in on the negative messages and events around us. We feed the down side and it goes further and further down. And we don't think it's our fault. After all, these awful things are happening in the world around us and we have no control over them - do we?

And then there are those happy, up beat, really drive you mad with their positivity people! What makes them different? Don't bad things happen in their world?

Well, yes, they do. But it is how you chose to handle the situations you are in that makes the difference. If something goes wrong and you allow yourself to believe that this is more evidence that the universe is out to get you - then you are attracting more of what you've got. However, if you decide that whatever it was that went wrong did so for a reason and gives you an opportunity to move on or change things, then create a positive experience.

So, its really about the Universal Law of Attraction being inside of yourself. The only person that can decide how you react to things is you. You control what goes on inside your head. If you want to collect evidence that the world is bad, you can.

Or you can see the beauty, kindness and wonderful things that are around you.

Despite all the things that go wrong, this is a beautiful place to live.

Confidence - what is it

So many people talk about being more confident. They want more as if it some sort of commodity you can pick up at the supermarket. The truth is you already have it. It's there inside of you. The only problem is finding it.

Well, I don't know about you, but whenever I lose something (and with things like car keys, that's pretty regular), first thing I do is STOP. I then go over my steps and try to think "when did I last have that?" and "where was I when I used that last?" I ask myself "what was it I was doing when I had it?"

Now, next time you say you want more confidence, try asking yourself those questions. Bit by bit you'll find your confidence. And the more you use it, the less likely you are to misplace it again.

Now, if only I could make it that simple with the car keys....
