A life lesson in the rain & The Law of Attraction
I just want to share a real life experience with you all in praise of how the law of attraction works as described in the DVD called “The Secret” - which most of you must have seen.
One Saturday, about two years back, when it rained cats and dogs at 5.45 pm, both my wife and I were returning from central London to Golders Green by underground train. As we came out of the station-we had to stay in the station for 15 minutes as it was raining very heavily and we had no umbrella. Soon the station gates were going to be closed as the water was flooding in and we had to go out and take a shelter in a public phone booth for another 15 minutes in order not to get drenched.
There were no taxis and a minicab would have taken hours to come to our rescue in the thunderstorm during the rush hour..
I wanted to buy an umbrella (so much so in my mind) from a shop in Golders Green (which was unfortunately closed as it was after 5.30 pm) and we decided to take shelter under the narrow roof of a coffee shop.
By now we were both totally drenched in water and we thought there was no point in calling any family member to our rescue as there were some floods on many roads too.
Our car was parked long way away and we decided to make a run towards the place where the car was for the next 5 minutes. Our smart clothes, hair and faces made us both look as if we were in a scene from a Bollywood film where....a romantic song would start soon.
By now my mind was frequently telling me - why didn't we take umbrella today?
Suddenly we saw a lady in a blue hooded short rain coat with an umbrella running from our opposite direction towards us. We crossed each other and we heard... behind us...
'Excuse me.... and we turned around...and she said to my wife..."please take my umbrella"...and she handed it to her and my wife said ...what about you?
She replied...I have another one at home, and she started running way....and disappeared towards the coffee shop.
We could not believe seeing what happened. We walked back slowly to the car using someone's umbrella. We don't even know who this lady was or where she lived so that we could return it to her on the following day.
“The Secret” DVD tells us that whatever you think of...God provides us...provided your expectations are realistic...That is how the law of attraction works.
MORAL OF THE EVENT:
Keep thinking positive things about your goals and aspirations in life and you will achieve them with minimum of effort. All of us think of things we want in life but some of us say 'How am I going to get that?' - Well, that is not our problem- as the DVD says. That is for the Universe to provide to us. The universe provided the Umbrella-which we need the most at the time.
If you have not seen the DVD “The Secret”, please do so and it will change your outlook to life forever, making you a more positive person. .
This incident also confirms the saying that “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”- Eleanor Roosevelt.
