My Subjective Reality

Have you have read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne?

In this book, Rhonda explains her interesting take on the nature of reality.

Her main thesis is that The Law of Attraction is the acting force in individual’s lives… Going against many religious doctrines, which claim that the lives of individuals are predestined, Rhonda illustrates that this reality is yours to shape and mold into what you choose, it’s about the power of positive and negative thinking.

“Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it’s attracted to you by virtue of the images you’re holding in your mind. It’s what you’re thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you.
Every thought if yours is a real thing – a force.”

“Thoughts become things!”

“Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think thoughts, they are sent out into the Universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Everything sent out returns to the source – you.”

Now, upon first reading the book, I thought she had a lot of good points, but painted sort of a ludicrous picture, for instance, thinking ‘I want a bike,’ is not going to make a bike suddenly appear, which is what I thought she was inferring in a round about way…

Years later, thinking about her philosophy, I find a lot of truth in her statements. Realizing now that it is not necessarily a powerful thought that will make something you desire appear, but rather, if you think something, you will then take the necessary actions towards achieving this thought/goal. So, in your reality, you do have the ability to make your thoughts happen/dreams come true.

Take my mother for instance… in Jamaica as a teenager, she was listening to the Beach Boys, and dreaming of living in Southern California, being one of the girls they sing about, and sunbathing on the sands they describe! She was a nurse for her father with no prospects of ever getting over to the States. No passport, no visas…She ended up at nursing school in London, then, due to her training, was able to transfer to New York and Texas with her nursing trade, eventually ending up in Southern California! When she was finally there, she decided to take the American Dream one step further and get into the movie industry. She became the personal assistant to Robert Zemeckis, eventually becoming his right hand producer, later she was responsible for discovering Peter Jackson from a pile of scripts, and having the whole film industry open to her… Money, Travels… Whatever she wanted was at her finger tips.

Now take myself… junior year of college I told my dad I wanted to move to London and get into Fashion. PAH! My dad encouraged me, but ya right, let’s be honest, my prospects didn’t look too good, especially considering I was at Uni studying English Writing, in LA, working Part Time for red bull, with no desire to go for a Masters Degree… Going to get there, how? Turns out I’m an Irish citizen, and thus a citizen of the EU, and all I needed to do was get my passport! Also turns out that I got the right sales job in the states that enabled me to move to the UK very easily, working for the same people. And then what do you know, I end up in London working as a Sales and Advertising Consultant for a Fashion Marketing Firm. SNAP

Was this preordained?

Who knows!

It definitely has been hard work to make my dreams come about, but Rhonda never said it was going to be easy! She said that your thoughts are a force and if you think long and hard enough about your goals, then you will achieve them, because those bold enough will take the necessary actions to make their dreams come about! I imagine it as your thought being a destination and you can travel there by boat, land, plane, however you need to in order to get there, and you’ll go through whatever obstacles that get in your way on your travels to where you want to go, but you have the option, to either get there, continue traveling onwards towards your destination no matter what, and thus achieve your goals, your dreams, or give up and turn back…

Brutus agrees with me…

“There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures” -Brutus; Julius Caesar

This world is yours, mold it into whatever you want!

What are your dreams for yourself?

What makes you happy?

What do you want to do? Where do you want to be?

All of these things first need to take form as a thought, then as an action… then they can become a reality ~ At least that has been my experience.

I’ll never forget this quote,

“Your thoughts become your words,

Your words become your actions,

Your actions become your character,

Your character becomes your destiny”
