Do you believe in Visualization?

David Seidler is not only making headlines for winning an Oscar for best original screenplay for "The King's Speech," but also beating bladder cancer in what some would consider an unusual way.  Due to the advice of his wife at the time, Seidler visualized his cancer into healthiness and within two weeks his cancer was gone. Tonight I was watching the Biggest Loser and one of the contestants got into a car accident and was told she may never walk again. She said she visualized in her mind that she was walking and she eventually begins walking.  These recent stories made me think about two books that I have read, The Secret and the Law of Attraction. These books states that you can literally have anything you put your mind to. There are things you have to consider like maintaining a positive energy.  I know there are a lot of opinions regarding this matter and good arguments on both ends but I buy into the hype. It’s is basically the same concept of prayer, faith and letting go. I remember my first apartment and this job I wanted a few years back. I was at these apartments with a family member and I ask to look at the one bedroom. I fell in love with it but new tenants were about to move in and I didn’t have a job at the time to get it anyways. Then there was job I wanted but was denied because I had too many previous jobs. I was in college at the time and I would get a job and drop and job.  With my vivid imagination I did think and visualize about those two things. It was on my mind but I was not obsessing over it. One day I went to apply at the temp agency and got the job I was denied and end up being kept on permanently. Of course with a job I decided to go apartment hunting. I went back to that apartment complex to see if by chance if the apartment was still available. It was just hoping because it has been last then a year since I last visited and most people get a year lease. Well it was available. So I end up getting the job I was denied and the apartment that I didn’t have money for and once preoccupied.  

These situations happen way before I read the books and I can honestly say that it has been a real struggle to visualize like I previously did to retest the theory. I am currently attempting to try these methods but my concentration and attention span is all over the place. Right now in my life it hard for me to focus. It’s like when you first try to lose weight you constantly think of unhealthy food. I will keep trying and I will update you to let you know how it will turn out. By the way, “Do you believe in The Secret, Visualization, Law of Attraction?”
