Fist pumps of Positive Thinking

The power of positive thinking, "The Secret" and welcoming the abundance of the Universe is a concept that gets many people as stirred up as my sock drawer on a Monday morning.
It's one of those ideas which separates the squares from the squiggles in society.

In a nutshell, this whole way of thinking is based on the Law of Attraction:
"If I put out positivity, positive things will happen to me"

And this can also be applied to specifics:
"If I imagine a tall, attractive man, who rides a silver fixie bike, plays social indoor netball, has great taste in music and a pet Airedale Terrier named Albus, one will come to me"

I don't know if I have been imagining hard enough on that one, but if you see me walking around with a clenched face resembling a dried up piece of ginger, that is probably me working on it.

Nevertheless, I have consciously applied 'The Secret' and it has saved me several times.....

Left my camera on the roof of the car and drove off at Green Lake in Rotorua.
Got it back.
17kg excess luggage when I moved to Melbourne.
Flew with that
iPhone fell out when I showed appreciation for the lushly maintained grass (by rolling around) at Flemington Racecourse.
Returned, not a scratch.
Bag broke and wallet fell out at the tram stop.
Retrieved, all intact. 
(the person who found my wallet messaged me on Facebook, no bull shoes, I told myself this was going to happen)

Each time, I did not doubt for one second, think about buying a new one, cancel credit cards or tell anyone I had lost it. 
In my minds eye, I saw myself with my looking at the pictures on my camera. Saw myself walking through security of the airport pretending my overweight bag was not cutting the circulation off my arm. Imagined all the text messages I was going to have and the selfies I was gonna take when I got my phone back. Imagined opening my wallet and counting my coins.

This is how this way of thinking works.
If you go through the day thinking you are tired, you will feel tired.

If you wake up, find a fistful of positivity and give it a pump, you will feel ready to take on the world.

Just make sure you don't accidentally fist pump into your partner sleeping next to you.

"You get out what you put in" 
"You get in what you put out"
Same words, different order- but if you think about it, it makes sense for those times you have shocking days with one bad thing after another. Your alarm doesn't work, you get a flat tyre, rip your pants while trying to fix it, show up late for work with ripped pants so get a bollocking. You are more than mildly peeved. When ordering coffee in this peeved tone, the barista gets peeved and burns the milk. You burn your mouth, the coffee tastes as bad as you look, and you don't even get a stamp on your loyalty card. Then you are crookshanks grumpy and shaking your fist at the world like a villain from Scooby-Doo does at 'those meddling kids.'
And who do you thank? No one. You blame everything else.

Thank the Universe unendingly for all the uhmazing things uhround you. 
 (And thank whoever returns camera, phone, wallet, doesn't burn milk, invents stretchy pants and makes sure you wake up with a fist pump)

And I thank you for reading this, as hopefully you had as much fun reading it as I did writing.

Yay everything! *pumps fist*
