I would like to share with you some of the results and findings I have had over the last few months regarding the law of attraction and positive visualization.

For me, I noticed things don't begin manifesting until about 3-months or so from initial thought. Some vary. From time to time I get discouraged and stop. But, suddenly I will begin to notice strange things happening which I can't ignore . This last summer and an event at the end of November have been exceptionally interesting.

July:
I received 2 months notice to vacate my apartment of 6 years for the purpose of renovation. The new management didn't like me and chose to create havoc in my life. I countered by offering to move at the end of Aug as long as I received my full deposit or nothing if not. Agreed.
Work was hectic and I had no chance to find a new place that allows dogs. I meditated daily visualizing exactly what I wanted. I also threw in some experimental visualizations such as beautiful women smiling at me for no reason while I walked along the side walk. (sure why not?) My city is full of cold women who never make eye contact and I'm not exactly a slouch in the looks department either IMHO.

Aug 31:
After much walking and many rejections through-out the month I was returning home to give up. Legal action was now being taken against me to move. However, that morning I was not worried. Met with friends for coffee and they were more worried than me and were surprised of my good nature about it all.
All day looking, 1 block from home I made my last stop.
I found my apartment, paid the deposit, and the entire building is full of dogs. subsequently moved out that day and the manager paid my deposit in full. Lucky!

Back track...
Dec 08 we get a new manager for our branch. We bang heads seriously and have many fights. He wants me gone and begins a personnel file against me in Feb 08

Sept:

A homeless man who frequently stands outside a fast food restaurant has decided to cut his white/yellow nicotine stained beard, get a hair cut and put on some new clothes. In the past I have never given him money but while watching him from the window I decided to reward him for his efforts. I can see he was trying to make a positive change and I deeply felt I should acknowledge this. For the first time ever, I gave him money.

30 seconds later I passed a very attractive woman talking amongst business colleagues. Our eyes met and she smiled and said hello. This never and i mean never happens in this city. A light went off in my head. Eureka! I got it. I couldn't help feeling the homeless man and the women's smile were connected.

For the next three days I got a few other random smiles and hellos from women. Interesting.

Nov 3rd:

Began researching Ayahuasca and decided I will go to Peru for a spiritual cleansing. But how? I don't have the money. Decided I would try my hand at making a film documentary of my experience if I get the chance to go. Asked the universe to give me some help. It has been decided.

Nov 11:

Third anniversary of my brother's death on this day. I run into a woman whom I haven't seen for 20 years in my neighborhood. She was my other brother's ex from when I was 18. I had a huge crush on her, she is so pretty. I immediately recognized her and we talked and passed on each other's contact info. She emails me and sends me pictures of her recent trip to Peru! Yes, she was just in Peru! Talk about serendipity.

Nov 22nd: read my Dec horoscope about how my relationship with my boss is good. hmm

Nov 23rd:
Get a frustrating email from my boss in which I respond with email describing my frustration with the company I work so hard for.

Nov 27th:
Called to the office and given an insubordination written which I refused to sign

Nov 30:
Terminated without cause. Went home and faxed 1 resume to a bigger company and made a follow-up phone call. Called a lawyer

Dec 1:
Called in for an interview, went extremely well. Talked to a lawyer and am looking at a nice settlement once I take action.

Dec 3rd:
I got call this morning and I got the job with a nice pay increase of about $4000.

My friends are amazed at my good fortune and so am I. Today is a good day!

Here is what I gather from utilizing the LOA.

1. As hard as it may be, never never never worry
2. Believe
3. Acknowledge those who try to improve with something good
4. Once a day, say a kind word and put a smile on someone's face
5. don't let the negativity suck you in, its a trap! I am very negative and anger quickly. Its one of my demons
6. you will be rewarded once you begin to see how it works

Peace and thanks for letting me share.

ATS rocks!

Hey, man, congrats to you! I hope things continue to ramp up for you as time putters along. I have often thought of that LOA, and start out fine, but much like your OLD ways, would stop and return to the bloody status quot. May have to try again, and of course, anything won't manifest quickly, but just need to keep at it.

So in short, thanks for sharing, and the reminder!

Yes, believe. Don't ever give up and leave it to the universe. Things will work out, maybe not as you quite see it happening, but they will work out.

Congratulations on your job and the great day you are having!

Thanks for reminding me to believe. I needed that.

This thread is an inspiration! Thanks for posting, many thanks!

Wow nice experience, thanks for sharing it!
Peace!

very motivating

thank you for posting

i will be giving this a shot.

Very inspiring, I've been trying to be more positive for a while now, maybe I should step up my efforts.
Just one question, is there any special techniques, books or something you use?
A little more information would be nice.

Is 'The Secret' any good?

I know exactly what you mean. TPTB could be trying to integrate their own agenda within "The Secret". Beware of negativity and block it out when possible.

Everyone should form their own method of using the positive energy that they are attempting to attract. Filter out all the New Age crap

I think everything that happened to you was just coincidence, the only thing that changed was your mindset. By changing mindset THE ENTIRE WORLD CHANGES!! By acknowledging people and having a positive outlook ( smiling at people who make eye contact with you etc etc) means that you will get the same in return. And the apartment is just a coincidence also, it has been there for a very long time and you just happened to stumble upon it on that particular moment in time when on this mindset. And finding a new job, you could work for a better company any time you want to as long as you have the experience and you bring confidence and professionalism to the interviews (again, a mindset thing).

i noticed something good happened on 11-11.............hmmmm.
That is great for you.

i have been tryng (ffor the sake of living in bad conditions) and its working pretty well and keeping things together.

Wow! Sounds like things are going awesome for you.

I spent years of my life chronically unhappy.
When you remove negative influences from your life, and replace them with positive ones, its very easy to change your outlook.

But change is never easy, and letting go of those negative influences is often harder than it seems. They can be anything: drugs, drink, people, habits, jobs, lack of exercise..etc
That list could be a mile long.

But I find since i purged alot of negative influence, and focus on positive, good things continue to happenn to me. I dont like the word "karma", but.........
