It is difficult to find solace when events occur that are often beyond our control. Events that challenge our personal beliefs, moral judgments, and spirituality. The world is full of random acts of violence and disappointment that provide no real answers for occurring. However, it is in these acts, one must come to the understanding that there are solutions to aid us in achieving positive outcomes. It is in the power of positive thinking.
Similar to the lessons provided by The Secret; the power of positive thinking can have positive effects, if we place our ideas in the hands of the universe. At first, I was skeptical of the fundamentals of these theories. But, throughout our lives we are often taught similar morals which provide similar results. Don’t focus on the bad…hope for the best…don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it at all…what goes around, comes around…karma. These are the fundamentals of positive thinking.
So what is it that we can do for the U.S. Journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee. First, we can remember that the United States has many resources and that this verdict is not final. We must remember that you, Laura, Euna, and I; are all connected. Each of us is a lifeforce on Earth, connected by energy, atoms, and spirit. What we relay in our thoughts can transfer in action. If I want a positive outcome, my thought process begins with the phrase, show me the way, whichever way that it may be. Then I begin to send out the message of wants I would like fulfilled, such as; this could make a big difference in my life if it were to happen, or, I would like for this to happen, instead of focusing on what you don’t want to occur.
A second example is our thought process when speeding on the highway. Often we think to ourselves that we do not want to be caught by police. It is within this thought, “we do not want to be caught by police,” that we provide the universe the idea that there should be police. Wouldn’t you know it, three miles down the road there is a police car waiting for us. But, what if you changed your thought to something more positive, which creates positive outcomes. For example, “I really need to get to somewhere, and I am going to get there in time.” This provides a positive and clear message that something will be achieved.
The power of positive thinking is similar to prayer. During Sunday services, worshipers are asked to pray for the ill of the congregation. Similarly, if we collectively join in and think positively about Laura Ling and Euna Lee; changes can occur. You don’t need to be a religious person to harness this energy, you simply need to understand that thinking positively provides you more inner peace and favors others’ outcomes.
So here is our message to send to the universe:
Laura Ling and Euna Lee will be safe and will be in the arms of loved ones soon.
Say and think this to yourself at least once per day. Collectively if we channel our energy to Laura and Euna, we will be able to make a difference in the lives and growth of others.
