Basically, law of attraction is all about the energy surrounding your own thoughts and the impact that has on your life ... and the lives of people around you.

And it's something that I have consciously or unconsciously tried to do all my life. Since I can remember my mom has told me to 'think good thoughts, positive thoughts'. Doing so will bring good things to me, she said. And whenever one of us is down or going through a tough time we'll often say something along the lines of 'I'll send some good thoughts your way'.

I think it must work because my life so far has been pretty easy. My twelve years of marriage has been 95% effortless. I've been able to pick up and move around the world ... twice ... with very few problems. Good jobs have always come along at the right time ... Apple, Motorola, Slingshot.

And recently, another friend reminded me of the power of positive thinking/acting. I am currently seeking new employment and the advice was to take all the negative energy and thoughts that surround my current situation and leave it at the job. When I go to an interview or I talk to a new job prospect on the phone focus on the future, on all the positive feelings involved with that, because it'll show. Don't show people how unhappy you are ... show them how excited you are to tackle new challenges.

It's great advice and it's something I remind myself of daily. Don't dwell on the pain of today. Focus on the freedom of tomorrow.
