Really, it's an experiment.

I have a pretty vivid imagination. This makes for easy entertainment when, say, I'm in line at the post office or trying to go to sleep at night. It clashes at times with my logical side, though. The relevance of this: I can be a little superstitious, and when I read about stuff like the Law of Attraction, I get all excited and hop on the bandwagon for a while. Then I stop doing it because it's not measurable. Sometimes I seem to have results that point toward my ideas being true, sometimes they point toward them being false. A lot of it, I'll admit, depends on what mood I'm in.

My logical side must admit, though, that the most logical stance is to admit that no one really knows how the universe works, or life, or anything--there are only so many quantifiables we can get a hold of, so why not try experimenting with "crazy" stuff like attracting what we want with our thoughts? And a lot of life is influenced strongly by mindset. From Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile impossibility to Viktor Frankl surviving Nazi concentration camps by finding meaning within himself, making up your mind that something is possible and doable is the first step to actually doing it. Whether the universe lines it up for you and delivers it on a silver platter is up for debate, but I figure the "This can happen!" mindset won't hurt life in general. If I win the lottery, great! If not, at least I'll be in a better mood.

So--here I shall document my progress in my Law of Attraction Experiment. Stay tuned!
