"The ancestor to every action is a thought" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

What if everything we thought came true? Really...no movie plots here...think on this for a minute... What IF every thought that went through our head actually did come true? We’d be amazingly careful about what we thought of wouldn’t we!!

You ever have those days when you think of someone, and they call, or you bump into them at the mall, or see something about them on facebook, in the paper...whatever it is. Or in a fit of dismay you yell at the moon, just give me a sign, and the next thing you see is a street sign, or a traffic sign that says something that makes you go, yeah...ok. I’m a little tripped out right now. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard my husband say “I hit every red light”, and sure enough...he does. I laugh. He doesn’t think it’s so funny. I’m still trying to convince him he’s just getting what he’s asked for.

It makes me think. What if our thoughts control much more than what we think they are. It’s like “they” say, if you call someone something long enough, they tend to become it! If you call a kid stupid long enough, they’ll probably believe they are stupid. What about you...What are you saying to yourself? Or aren’t you listening... I dare you to pay attention! You’d be shocked how many times you criticize yourself, or get down on yourself. Then you wonder why you are stuck from achieving or getting what you want.

Yes, there is a ton of material about the Law of Attraction, or other new age information that will challenge your thoughts. But no matter what you believe, the basic truth is the more you create your positive thoughts, the more you will be attracted to things that you’ll naturally start to line up with those thoughts. The more you think negative thoughts, the more you will naturally lean to things that line up with those. To me it seems a little like oil and water. The oil seeks out the other oil. After all, misery loves company.

Let me pick your brain for a minute...Picture you are walking into a wedding dance. There is always a group of people dancing and having fun, a few people mingling or hanging out at the bar, and there is usually a table at the back of the room, counting down the seconds ‘til midnight lunch so they can leave right after, usually saying something about the crappy weather, how hot the church was, how the bride is to fat for her dress, taking bets on how long the couple will last. Notice that the fun people wanna hang out with other fun people? And the only ones hanging out at the misery table are the ones who are on the same wave length. They aren’t attracting much are they, except other yappers and moaners.

It’s just plain old human nature. If you are uplifting, outgoing, fun, and generally nice to be around...people want to hang out with you right? You are naturally attractive to others. If you are miserable, the only people who want to hang out with you are other people who want to argue for their misery too! I LOVE the quote...”If you argue for your misery, the only thing you will win is your misery...” –Dr. Wayne Dyer.

So, even if you think the law of attraction is something someone made up to make millions, you'll likely agree on the basic premisis "Misery loves company" and therefore it would seem to be true that positivity would have no company in a room of misery. It would seem basic that positive forward thought grows you toward a more positive outcome. Just like an urge creates an action to get what you yearn for, or a hunger makes you go out and hunt, so does a positive thought make you go out and create positive results while in the same, a negative thought draws you to fulfill the same as your thought.
