You know how awhile ago now, The Secret came out and everyone was talking about the Law of Attraction? The law boils down to: what you put out into the world is what you get back (it’s not a new concept, by the way – and wasn’t then either).

For example, if you put out words and thoughts and feelings of abundance, that’s what you’ll bring into your life.

For a lot of people, this is all a bit woo woo and silly. But I’ll tell you what guys – it totally works!

Now, I’m totally in love with my full time job. But like a lot of people I’m starting to have ideas about how I can pursue my other interests in my own time (and hey, who knows what it might grow).  First I clarified these ideas quietly to myself, then told a select few – online friends mostly, and very few close people in my ‘real’ life. I’m not out there self-promoting and shouting from the rooftops.

What’s interesting is, once the ideas started to gain definition, all this wonderful, inspiring and relevant material started just showing up. Some of the new stuff I’ve found has come about straightforwardly:

Me: hey, I’m really into personal development

Friend: oh yeah? You should check out this cool website

Me: rad town!

That website was indeed very interesting, and led me to an active, fun and fulfilling online community.

Other great stuff has reached me more quietly, so much so that I don’t quite remember how. But suddenly I’ve come across a bunch of super interesting and helpful blogs, books and other resources that are right up my alley.

The point is – acknowledge what you want, even if only to yourself, and you would be amazed (but not really surprised because, you know, you’re putting it out there) by what quietly floats into your life.

Besides, what have you got to lose?
