So in my last post, I talked about the secret. Since then, I have created a vision board see below, I have begun following some great mentors/life coaches/fellow LOA believers (Laws of Attraction) etc. and have been feeling GREAT about my life. I used to think that the "laws of attraction" were simply a term used in love and lust. Boy was I wrong! I'll explain more later.

That's my vision board so far. There are some quotes, "It's time to start living the life you've imagined." Some pictures of things I want (beautiful house, bar, boat, awesome kitchen). Some things that just make me happy (golf) and I've still got some more things I need to put on there. I've been doing a lot better thinking about my business too!I won't get into all the details of "The Secret" and LOA, but a lot of it is simply this; whatever you put out, will generate the same thing back. So if I'm putting off an "I'm sick of bills and ants and my pesky boss" vibe, I'm going to get more bills, more ants and more peskiness from my boss! Conversely, if I'm putting out to the universe that I'm successful, capable, healthy, and worth something amazing, I'm going to be successful at whatever I take on, capable of doing them, stay healthy and earn what I feel and believe I'm worth.
I'm still questioning the "silliness" of this whole theory, even though I shouldn't, but it's a common struggle with my own internal dialogue; that pesky voice in your head that I've mentioned a few times. It's also funny to me because I keep asking myself why wouldn't everyone just think this way anyways, until I listen to conversations and realize almost everyone I know talks about bad things and thinks the worst.
Examples: How many people come home from work and talk about all the annoying things that have happened at work and how annoying the boss is, nearly every day?
How many people do you know that are "one of those people" and have a different sob story each day of how something ELSE has happened to them and it's "poor me" and "why me?"
How many people do you know that have an excuse for why everything happens to them, and it's never really "their fault."
How many of these people are "successful" and happy people? none that I've met. Now on the other end:
How many people that aren't "successful" come home and talk about the positive things that happened?
How many people that aren't "successful" bring up how well their business is doing or how they are just happy to have a job in this time?
"BUT KYLE, those people are happy because they have money."
A partial truth, maybe, but there are plenty of people who have money and they're not happy!
I think with positive thought and the belief that you're worth something more and capable of something more, certain things will "just show up" or gravitate towards you.
"BUT KYLE, why not just sit here all day thinking that you can and will win the lotto?" I'm not too sure how well this works, but I'm pretty sure it may not be stronger than odds of 1 in 135,145,920 haha. That, and the lotto doesn't always make people happy, healthy and wealthy. The LOA works in all areas. It's having an abundance of health, love, money, etc. I can have a million dollars and be sick and die and that's no fun. I can have a million dollars and be sad and lonely and that's no fun. It's about all aspects of life!
Today, was a pretty interesting day. I feel I saw this power of positive thinking work! My personal example, so far:
I've been believing that I am a capable and successful real estate broker and salesperson, whereas before I questioned my own abilities, and that my business and its model works very well. I've been thinking positively about all the referrals that we have currently outstanding and that we would start seeing checks. Today we received a payment for a closed referral that both myself and my business partner had thought was dead and worthless, that we had sent out exactly three months ago. Coincidence or power of positive thinking? That's subjective, but I feel it's the LOA at work!
I'm calling it a night because I'm hungry as hell, but I'll keep you posted as far as how this keeps up. My struggles. My victories. My additions to my vision board and anything else I find interesting.
And I'll give some updates on some other things I've touched on in past blogs. I promise to update this more!
One last thing. I appreciate those of you that read this. It makes me happy to know that people enjoy what I have to say and offer their own perspective and advice! So thank you, whoever you are! haha Leave a comment and let me know! Thanks
Hey Kyle it Rick (Marissas friend). I just wanted to say that I think it's great you are doing all of that. I agree with you 100%. A great book that demonstrates LOA is think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill. How can someone only think and talk about negative things that happen in their life then expect to locate positive opportunities? Its a self fullfilling prophecy. Awesome man! Love to get together and talk about it!
