An Introduction to the Basics of "The Law of Attraction"

There are a couple schools of thinking on the subject of the law. There is, of course the rookie belief that if you just think really hard on something it will come to you. There is the belief that you wanted everything that you have in your life, the good and the bad. There is also the belief that you expected everything that you have in your life, good, or bad.
I myself personally believe a blend of all of them.
It has been my experience with this interesting phenomenon that when I expect something to happen, it does not necessarily mean I want it. I do not want health problems; we do not want the people we love to leave us. But when we have a fear, and nurse that fear, even somewhere below our immediate consciousness, we begin to prepare ourselves for it.
Take the teenage girl who is dating her first boyfriend. It's true love! She is going to marry this boy. In fact, they have a wedding day set, and he is going to whisk her away to Paris and they will live happily ever after. Then, the relationship begins to cool. She becomes a little insecure/ He may have given her no reason to worry, but in the back of her mind, the grim reality of teen love is setting in. She begins to wonder, what would happen if he did break up with me?
She tells her friend one night on the phone “OH I would just DIE! My heart would break! I would never love again! I would be devastated and I would lock myself in my room and cry for days!”
Then it happens. He decides he likes her friend (the one she was talking to on the phone the night before), and he dumps her. She feels like she’s just going to DIE! Her heart is broken. She swears she will never love again! She is devastated and she locks herself in her room and cries for days! She does exactly what she expected to do!

Here is a question: do YOU believe you control the world? More specifically, are you willing to believe that you control YOUR world? If you are in total control of your life, no matter how your life is, this means there is no one left to blame but you.
You are in control of your habits and addictions
You are in control of your financial status
You are responsible for your career and work status
You are responsible for your vehicles.
This is a scary concept, but one I think we all must consider. Why is it that we are so willing to jump on blaming someone else for our failure?

A few months back, the company I work for fired an employee. After he was let go, he left nasty letters for his fellow employees blaming THEM for his being fired. About a month and a half later he called the owner of the company and left a message blaming the owner for the loss of his house because he was fired. Does he not see that if he would have treated his position in the company with a little more respect and maturity none of this would have happened to him? No, because to see your life as your responsibility means to accept that you made a mistake and that you could have done better.
