The Laws of Attraction


What the hell does this really mean?
I hear people discuss the “laws of attraction” in relation to business, and their personal life.
The basis of this philosophy or mantra is that positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative, and positive repels negative and vice versa ergo if you are a positive thinker, give positive vibes only positive things will happen to you.

Does this sound like a crock of shit or what?
It’s always good to be around positive people both in a professional setting, and in personal relationships because their positive attitudes rub off on you, and you can continue the cycle by rubbing off on some one else. This I believe is a fabulous way of living. I love smiling, and bringing laughter in to the lives of my workmates, friends and family but does this mean that nothing bad will ever come my way?
Lets be real folks.
Just because you smile, and say nice things it doesn’t mean that you are going to get all the things you have on your life wish list.
Bad things happen to the best of people, and AMAZING things happen to the worst people. This is the circle of life.
Don’t be nice because you think you’re going to get something from it. Be nice because you feel it’s the right thing to do.
Karma shouldn’t be considered a reward for going out of your way to do good just so you can have good karma. I hate to say this but it doesn’t work that way.
Because I work in real estate, I am exposed to Agents, and I am beginning to realize that besides the fact that most of them are bottom feeders, they are all superstitious, and believe in motivational speakers and their messages. They buy tickets to a ton of these motivational mentorship conventions, and seminars. They spend huge cash doing it.
The irony is that for the most part the vast majority of these people is morally decrepit, not one ethical bone in the body to speak of, and they stab each other in back in every possible way but when they make it back to the office after one of those seminars they start spouting off all kinds of bullshit about positivity and helping each other… ARG.
I guess what I am trying to say for the most part is this.
Be who you are. Try to do well for yourself and do well by others. There will be days that life will absolutely suck, but there will always be another day to make it better.
Don’t be one of those freaking dolts who try to reverse bad things by becoming Mother Teresa. Things never work out that way.
Stupid Agents got me thinking about mantras...
