From The Secret - More on the Law of Attraction (pt 2)

With this law, there is no past or future, only the present, so you should stop (quite a task to stop, I admit) referring to your life in the past as very difficult, or full of hardship and pain, or in any other negative way. Remember that the law operates only in the present, so when you speak of your past life negatively the law is receiving your words and sending those things back to you NOW.

An example on the Law of Attraction at work: Many people who diet lose the weight and then put it back on, because their focus was on losing weight. Instead, make your perfect weight your focus. Therefore, whatever is your strongest focus is what you will attract. That is how the law works.

Focus on the wonderful things about you, and when your mind starts to criticize any part of you, stamp out those thoughts. Stop them immediately and switch your mind to the good things about you. If you focus on the good things about you, you will attract an abundance of the good things. Be kind to yourself, because you deserve it!

Also know yourself! Watch how you manifest the small things in life and think about how you felt inside with those things. Think about how easily they came. You will find that you thought of a small thing once and never thought about it again, and then it manifested. What really happened was that you didn't think any thoughts or speak any words which contradicted what you wanted, so the law of attraction was able to do its work.

The law of attraction cannot change anything in your life that you hate, because hate prevents the change from coming. Since the law is giving us exactly what we are putting out, when you hate something the law must continue to give you more of what you hate. You will not be able to move away from it. Love is the only way. If you focus completely on the things you love, then you are on your way to a beautiful life.

Besides, there is not a single instance in history where hate has brought joy to human beings. Hate destroys those who hold it in their minds and bodies. I'm not saying it's easy especially if external forces trod on you or attempt to take your rights away, etc. Being human, we do sometimes give in. However, we need to catch ourselves and choose to respond differently. If humanity released all hate, fear, and resentment, then no dictator could ever rise, and we would have peace on earth. Peace on earth can occur only through peace within each of us.

Note that this does not mean that we ignore or turn a blind eye to injustice. Choosing to ignore injustice actually encourages the perpetrators. Put it this way... when u are skiing down the slope and you realize you see a tree in front of you, what do you do? 1st scenario would be If you keep focusing on the tree. This will result in you getting hurt by crashing into it. The 2nd scenario would be to focus your attention away from the tree and steer clear of it while keeping the tree at the back of the mind (so that you know it is there but you are consciously moving away from it). The likelihood is that you will get out of harms way. However, a 3rd scenario would be pretending the tree isn't there. This scenario would be the worst as it is going to make you crash right into it and it's going to be even more painful than the first scenario. get my point?
