The universal law of attraction works on the basis that we attract whatever we desire or expect. Energy simply flows to where attention goes. Therefore, if you place a laser sharp focus on what you want to achieve, you will with no doubt emit positive energy that will attract the sought after achievement. Spend every waking moment thinking of, working on a goal and within no time naysayers will label you a devil worshipper. Little do they know that chance favors the prepared mind and that you simply tapped into the power of a natural law of nature. Bob Proctor best summed it when he said “Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.” Couldn’t agree more.
The law of attraction has subsets such as manifestation, magnetism, unwavering desire, delicate balance, harmony, right action and universal influence. Most people are conversant with the first subset which I alluded to in the first statement. However, for the purposes of this writing piece we will delve into the unwavering desire subset because it is a low hanging fruit which I can easily tackle in one swoop. According to Jack Canfield, the law of unwavering desire states that “Your desire to achieve or attract a certain thing must be strong and unyielding in order for you to manifest it in your life”.
Health issues tend to creep up on us like a maggot into a rose or as slow as the hand on a clock’s face. In as much as it may feel that way, for the most part that is not the case. Signs of impending health challenges are often times ignored. We are somehow aware but we typically blow off the telltale signs until we have a monster on our plate. It is akin to driving and ploughing through the red traffic stop lights. When you get pulled over is when you feign ignorance. People give all forms of excuses for not seeking early medical intervention. Some are genuine and some are not. However, it’s not in my place to judge. After all, there are those who spent countless years in school to become judges. Let them make this determination. To each their own.
How often have you encountered statements such as “I am not sure what happened, I just reached for the door upon reaching the house and collapsed like a dissolving palace of snow or the apostle in the pictures of the conversion of St. Paul.” Does this ring true to your ears? Someone maintains their innocence that they are not aware of what led to the moment whereas they kept disregarding signs and wishing them away claiming that sleep is the ultimate cure of diseases.
Once again, let me reiterate that I am not a subject matter expert on neither law nor health issues hence take what I say with a grain of salt but if certain signs appear countless times, the least you can do is to seek advice even if it is outside the confines of the hospital. If you suffer from nosocomephobia (intense fear of hospitals) like the late Former US President Richard Nixon did, let the Doctor meet you at the parking lot. By all means do something about it provided you sort the doctor out so that you part ways on a good note and put a smile on their face regardless of the outcome on your part. The teeth that laugh are also those that bite. Therefore, let them smile and the happiness will rub off on you as well.
If you are reading this and are skeptical as to its relevance in relation to the law of attraction, just carry on. I will tie all the loose ends together at the tail end. Rest assured that I will not take you on a wild goose chase and dump you in a thick forest with neither forms of life nor a way out. Experience is the best teacher. Therefore, what I may lack in formal knowledge I will make up for it with experience on the law of attraction with regards to medical issues. I will speak from a point of knowledge gained through experience as opposed to years of those gained in the confines of a classroom.
In the decade I was away, I was in relatively good health. Ironically, the one thing that kept me in good health is the same thing that led me to the hospital and accorded me with an opportunity to get a first-hand experience of the first world healthcare system. I was an avid cyclist and spent every spare minute at my disposal out on the bike. First thing I did every morning upon waking up was to look out through the window to see if the weather was favorable for a minute or two ride. One afternoon, in between jobs I dashed out for a quick ride and split my chin in the process. A brake malfunction did me in and I flipped over. Story for another day. Limped to the hospital with my bike on the shoulders, got stitched up and was let off to go and rest. I nursed my bruised ego and body for the remainder of the day. Failed to make it to work so that hurt even more. In an hourly wage job, a missed minute puts a dent on your finances.
Several years later after my return, I noticed a deterioration of sight in my right eye. Hold your horses, I don’t think this has a connection to the bike incident although the possibility cannot be ruled out completely. The effects of such incidences on the overall scheme of things sometimes takes longer to manifest. When we were younger, a friend and I were tilling land. We happened to be standing too close to each other and he placed too much attention on looking at the ground that he forgot to note where the garden hoe was in relation to where I was standing. You can only guess what happened next. The hoe landed on my back with a thud. Not sure if the sound preceded the pain or vice versa. Luckily, I wasn’t split into two pieces. My back is fine and let it remain that way forever.
Back to the eyesight. Images appeared deformed. When something blocked my view of the left eye causing me to rely on the right eye, I noticed strange things. People’s faces would appear as squashed and the same applied to cars as well. It’s as if someone powerful grabbed one by the face, squeezed their head and in the process shortened the gap between their eyes to less than two centimeters. That’s how disturbing it was. I thought I needed to get new lenses and so it took me a while before I placed a visit to the glasses shop in town. Went in for the eye exam and it was hilarious. The lady started off by issuing instructions before the actual test and I failed before the actual test. “Do you see the girl on the screen? Now I want you to read what’s on her shirt.” What girl? That’s how bad it was. Without further ado, I was sent off and urged to seek urgent medical intervention. The situation was dire than it seemed to me.
Apparently, that did not shake me to the core and jolt me to quick action. I spent another week or two looking for an optician. By now I had become accustomed to the new sight and this was the new norm. By the time I got to see the Doctor, he recommended immediate surgery but I managed to wiggle my way out of it under the pretext of seeking a second opinion. Three others affirmed the same thing and I was left with no choice but to crawl back in for surgery another few weeks later even though it cost an arm and a leg. The medical insurance covered a fraction of the cost hence we had to scrounge for the outstanding amount.
The experience taught me not to take things lightly. Therefore, when the Optician informed us that a second procedure was required to be completed within a short timeframe and that it would cost the same amount of money, I nodded my head in agreement though I knew raising the required amount would be a tall order. We had no wiggle room and our back was against the wall but in the back of my mind I knew we would sail through. Failure was not an option. Time is a pursuer and it almost caught up with us. With barely less than a week to go, we had not secured the funds but I had a dogged determination. This inadvertently invoked the spirit of the law of attraction.
We were sitting on a gold mine. At the hour of need is when it dawned on me and I had a light bulb moment. One evening, I was sitting outside pondering on the next cause of action. Some cats emerged from the large sets of boxes in the compound housing some metallic obsolete items. My folks had implored upon me and granted me permission to discard the items. Interestingly enough, work tends to occupy the time that is available. A ten minute assignment can take the entire day to complete and a hundred such assignments can also be completed in a day. The same way needs tend to gobble up whatever resources is available. With that said, even though permission had been granted earlier to dispose the items for our own benefit, we gambled with other issues such as equity, fairness, market source and the work involved was tedious. Since there was no pressing need prior to this moment, the decision making process dragged on for a longer period than it should have. With the natural progression of time, this slipped my mind but I was grateful that I had a winning lottery.
The work involved was neither here nor there and nature conspired in our favor. A phone call was the only thing that had stood in the way all along for everything else seemed to be child’s play. To cut the long story short and spare you the agony of protracted reading, the second procedure took place at the anticipated date, time and place. At one point it seemed highly improbable that I would stand before the cashier asking for their preferred mode of payment hence it felt bitter sweet when I actually did. Such is the power of the law of attraction. I’m sure that the current head of state can attest to this.
If you have an affinity for complaining, you will never run out of things to complain about. The law of attraction will make sure this is the case. Conversely, the opposite is true. If on the other hand you’re grateful, you will never run out of things to be grateful for. Nowadays, I have changed my outlook towards cold weather. If I feel cold, I appreciate the fact that my body is functioning well enough to detect the cold. In conclusion, I read a quote somewhere that life is like a camera. Focus on what is important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, take another shot. Unlike the camera, the only amendment I will make to this is to eliminate the possibility of having to take another shot via invoking the law of unwavering desire. The first shot has to work. If you run after two hares, you will catch neither. When viewed under the relationships scope, the law of attraction and unwavering desire takes on a different tangent altogether. Therefore, reputational risk will not permit me to delve into it at this point in time but when I muster enough courage I will. Ricochet will come to my aid and any hit I take will bounce away.
