[Style Mantra]

I had a friend ask a Law of Attraction related question…

“It’s true that people can bring us down with their negativity. I now separate myself from those people and seem to run into them a lot since I have become more enlightened on the subject. I have noticed myself attracting better roles and more acting work since I have been saying affirmations, believing in myself more and imagining good things happening.

Does fantasizing about how you want a situation to be or the kind of job you want really help bring it about? Can I really create by dreaming a lot about having my future goals? “

YES and NO…

Yes as you already confirmed that you are attracting better roles and more acting work.

No in that there are times we expect a certain outcome…we are really wanting that specific outcome…and after too much time passes without it happening we find ourselves thinking this whole mind over matter stuff is a crock of shit.

The truth is that we are creating with our mind, but we hold so many different thoughts that what we manifest is the sum total of our thoughts, both the good and the bad. Again, we can see this in the example you gave that you are attracting better roles and more acting work because you have been keeping your mind in a more positive state and the being careful about the people you hang out with.

I have found that working backwards from the manifestation of something that has happened in my life that I can pinpoint the thoughts I held that were a match to the manifestation. But I cannot always deliberately focus on something and make it happen quickly. Often I do get quick results from certain thoughts I hold, and it is great fun when that happens, but it does not always happen this way…I cannot depend on it happening that way.

The most important thing is that what you think about affects the quality of your now moment. If you think positive thoughts you live in a positive emotional state…HUGE BENEFIT! This means you can be happy anytime you choose.

If you can hold your mind on positive thoughts such that you are feeling positive emotions this also affects your physical health and it affects how others experience you. These positive thoughts do create something of a positive nature in your immediate future as well, it may not create that exact thing you were just dreaming about right away, but it often allows you to receive something else you have been in the process of creating for a longer period of time.

Each time you fantasize about what you do want you strengthen this skill. When we worry we are really fantasizing about what we do not want. Most people are highly skilled at this side of fantasy. They can hold a negative fantasy in the forefront of their minds for hours and days. So practicing positive fantasies is very beneficial, it becomes a skill you can call upon when your world seems to be going down the toilet. You can use these positive fantasies to bring you back into a positive emotional state which in turn creates the best environment for you to attract to you the best possible outcome in a situation that you may not like very much.

Yes, this kinda fantasism helps a lot ... sometime to bring that positive approach and sometime to keep urself away from negative thoughts if those fantasies never happen to us.

Dreaming about something makes us Get up and Go for it ... setting the target always help us to be on track to our desitnation and not to wander here and there.

when we imagine something before it really happens, we go through it ... analyze it ... think about it ... so when the time actually comes and thought actually hit the reality line, we feel comfortable with it ... more like we have been experiencing it for sometime and as u know no substitute to experience :)

Just like ... compare it with cyber world interaction;

if you are close to someone through internet and knows a lot, then, when u meet with that person i real, it helps alot ... n u feel so familiar with ... same is the case when we imagine things ... we are just making us familiar to that.

As far as positive and negative thought are concern, definitely it should be positive ... positive fantasy keep us on ... helps us to move forward ... facilitates our journey and brings us out of those negative and desperating thoughts which at times entrap us so badly.

Hmm right i agree with u :)

only ambitious people go for fantasies:).
it is a healthy approach, however, as we have quite oftenly heard, "do the best but expect the worst". similarly, fantasies may tend to act as the driving force at times, yet they could remian unreachable.

Newton says that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This doenst necessarily hold true for matter or physics. It can be true in abstract world as well.

The force with wich human body would work to achieve the fantasies, if in case they are unreached, if one is off guards, then the amoun of disappointment and nervous wreck could be havock.

so again the solution is simple....do the best and expect the worst.........

[AQN]

You're right bro in saying that if one is off-gaurd, more expectation results in more pain in case of failure ... but it is just One case ... there are so many other ways too ...

though I'm not in favor of expecting much in the sense if it is crossing the line of positivism to idealism ... but dreaming is the part of positivity ... for me life without any target is nothing.

wht u said, I take it more as ... "expect the best but be ready for worst" ...

when dreaming, dream the best .... when waiting for its out come, get ready to have even worst.

Not arguing ...everyone has own perception ... just sharing mine :)

My philosophy for life in general is;

"Expect nothing in good sense for the reason, that even a lil one can make u happy ... while expect everything in bad sense for the reason, if it happens, it won't hurt u anymore"

[HULK]

True samz, but beta we cannot expect the best without putting in best:). that is the context that i was referring to. And then if one is expecting worst, the best results give a thorough boost, while the vice versa brings totally opposite results.

Peole may have gotten fed up from me when I bring in religion everywhere, but I guess religion is far deep rooted into our souls that it seems embeded there since the beginning. When one does the best and then leave the results on the will of ALLAH SWT, and when he or she is granted with the best, then the real fantasy comes true. Because if one narrates that O' Allah SWT, please grant me if this is good in my interest and give me patience if it is not, then I guess there wont be anyy regrets in case of failure.

But again it is my faith and my belief which I believe is true, but everyone has to make their own minds up because that is why Allah SWT has created us as human beings with free will and decision:)

[Style Mantra]

[HULK]

@ Nadeem bhaee ...

of course without putting best effort, if we're expecting the best to come up, then, its mere our idealism and luck hits someone like this very rarely ....

I agree that Islam is the part so it comes into everywhere ... n I do qoute that even ALLAH never give food to smallest worm without working and trial.

Personally when I dream about something or set some target for myself .... I never talk abt it until I endeavor ... like aisa nahi ki me kahoon ki I wish main good painter k taur pey jaani jaoo'n per agar koee poochey k achcha kiya kia aap ney ab tak is k leyey tu I have nothing to say.... na!

jab koee dream hota hey tu poori koshish k usko hasil karoo'n in real too ... nahi ker paee ... get failed ... tu just leave it on ALLAH n either give it another try or switch over to something else .... but I guess I never felt down or hopelessness :)

tu yehi I ask ppl to do. .... Do ur best ... expect it to be happen ... if get failed ... try n try ... or leave it on ALLAH
