What Are You Attracting To Your Life?


By Ikpeme, Ekanem Edem

Take a pause and analyze your thoughts. What are your innermost thoughts as regards your job, health, education, business, life etc. Do you think positive or negative about these things? Wherein lies your thoughts, there will you dwell.

Let me start by sharing a story that happened in my office.

Mr. E. (pseudo name) was a colleague (we shared the same office) whose skill was greatly relied on by the management. He was very effective. After a while, he started having a feeling that The Management were planning to Transfer him to the Security Department. He expressed this fear with me and I (knowing what harm those kind of thoughts could cause) quickly told him to stop thinking such thoughts. Apparently he never did. Some two months later, there was a case of fraud in another department and he was mentioned as a cohort. He was the only one who is not in that department that was mentioned. The panel which was set up to investigate the matter found all of them guilty. The Management then decided to transfer them to non-cash areas. A lot was drawn as is done in a lottery. They all picked their lots, lo and behold Mr. E. with his own hands chosed the Security Department. You might say its fate but I think he attracted this to himself.

I ask again, what are your innermost thoughts, What are you attracting to your life?
The verse in the Bible which says “Calling things that are not as though they were” is essentially the fact I am trying to buttress here.

No life is a perfect life (trust me on this), we all have things or situations we would want to see manifest in our lives. The sooner we started acting and feeling grateful for those things which we have prayed for and made an attempt to manifest in our micro-world, the better and happier our lives will be.

A feeling of GRATITUDE for our present state, a word of THANKS and an UNWAVERING TRUST that our prayers are indeed answered is a necessary prerogative in the physical manifestation of our desired realities. In whatever endeavor you find yourself, it is paramount that you maintain a positive outlook while knowing you already possess those things which you desire. There is no doubt about this that every now and then a negative thought comes calling, It is imperative (as a matter of fact) to counter it with a positive thought. Make it a point of duty to NEVER dwell with the negative feelings and impressions.

The way and manner our dreams and aspirations will manifest and cause a profound change in our lives is not our concern but we need to be consistent in truly believing through effort that a positive outlook is the harbinger of positive Abundance in all spheres of life.
