It has been years since posting here, but my life recently changed and I got this urge to write about it. I kept on thinking about looking up blogs discussing these changes, but I decided instead to change my blog to reflect my new feelings and my new life.
Since posting last, I learned more of the Atonement, had a new relationship for six months (I was certain I was going to marry her...), got admitted to grad school twice, served a short mission, and moved to four new cities, finally winding up in a mountain town where I attend grad school for an MBA. Life sure is different now than it was all those years ago! And guess what? I'm happy! I feel happy! Sure, some things get me down (like last night), but I just feel better about life and I feel great about myself.
Several weeks ago, two men from church came over to visit. I was talking to them about how bad I felt. I felt so sad about life, dating, church, and just everything going on. One of them talked about how he asks God to confirm things to him and then reads his scriptures fully believing that He will confirm those things. I decided to try an experiment. I did exactly what this man said that he does. And I really, really believed that I would receive answers. And guess what? I did!
This process reminded me of something that was introduced to me years ago in college. My mentor recommended that I watch the DVD of The Secret. I've watched that movie so many times over the years (at least once per year) and I never really got it. But now I understand. I understand the law of attraction!
I've been listening to the audiobook for The Secret and I've watched the video several times over the last few weeks. I feel immensely happier. And I've noticed that I have many of the things that I've been desiring for a long time. For example, I've wanted friends, and I have friends.
I decided to start putting this law of attraction into practice. I started with something small. I wanted to find a quarter, tails side up. I went on walks around the neighborhood. I looked in parking lots wherever I went. I believed every day that I would find that quarter. I told one of the men that had come by a week or two before, and he said that what I had was "Disney faith," that is, believing that something will happen without me doing anything for it. He's only partially correct. he doesn't understand that this is about drawing something to you. As you think about something, you bring yourself toward it. Incidentally, it seems like you bring it toward you.
Long story short: I found that quarter, tails side up. I found it alongside two other quarters. I got something small. Now on to larger things.
