Have you noticed that when you have bought a new car all of a sudden you see hundreds of that same car and color on the road? Or when you are expecting, every woman you see looks pregnant. Well the same thing is happening to me. No I am not pregnant nor have I bought a new car, but a new idea has been introduced to me and I am seeing it every where. I have heard that when an idea presents itself to you in 3 different ways that you need to sit up and take notice because it is the truth.

What is this great truth? It is living in the now. It has really been brought home to me through Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. But I keep bumping into the concept. Just last Sunday I ran into this reading Job. Job is a character who loses everything but his nagging wife. He has even lost his health. Three friends come to commiserate with him and give their ill advice. A 4th person pops in and puts his 2 cents in (I think he had the best advice) then God interrupts and says to be content and to basically live in the now. That is what I read. Read it yourself, it’s in the Bible.

If you live in the now, even in your misery, you have the chance to feel the river of life, that life giving force that runs through all things. If you can feel that flow of contentment and energy, you will feel hope. If you feel hope, you will be more positive. If you become more positive, the law of attraction will accommodate and things will get better.

The alternative is to dwell in your misery and your “poor me” attitude and live on the surface, never feeling the flow of life that is always there. If you live in the misery at the surface you are actually stifling the flow. If the flow is stifled you will attract more that will stifle the flow. The law of attraction works both ways.
