I was watching a show about "The Secret" and how it pertains to success and all. It says that if you first want, and then believe in something that you want, I mean really believe that whatever you want is already yours, then you will get it because the whole universe is based on "The Law of Attraction"

The simple law of attraction simply states that everything you have in your life, you have attracted it, whether it be good or bad. First you have to think about feeling good, and then actually start feeling good. So I'm going to test this theory out. This program also said that if you want material stuff, then just believe that you will recieve them, and you will, by simple beleiveing in yourself that you are worthy of recieving whatever you ask for.

So last night I really decided I wanted a brand new yellow Corvette ZR1. I envisioned myself driving my car, I could smell the leather interior, and I could actually feel the steering wheel in my left hand, and the 6 speed shifter in my right hand. I even went as far as emailing my mathr who owns a Chevrolet dealership and asked him to order this corvette for me because I knew something great was coming my way to where I could afford this Corvette in 3 months.

I'm really feeling good about going after what I really want. It's not so much the Corvette in itself that I want, it's the feelings that go along with it to obtaining it. I feel confident that my life is going to start changing around more and more for the better. As proof, I'm going to post here everyday as kind of an online journal.

I woke up this morning bright and early. I felt alive. I could hear the birds singing outside, and I could smell the morning dew on the grass. I really appreciate these small things in life, they mean so much to me.

I was thinking about last night and how I wanted a new Corvette ZR1. I googled an image of a new ZR1 and I cam across a new Corvette Grand Sport. Wow, this one looks nice! I can't decide which one I want because they are both so nice looking.

Sometimes I feel my mind doubting my self abilities of what I can really attain in life. I can feel my body fighting these mind thoughts off, almost like the body fights off disease, bacteria, and germs that cause infections. This is what my body is doing now to my mindful negative thoughts. My immune system wants to feel good, so my body is fighting off negative thoughts.....he he

So back to the Corvette issue. I wan both, but will be happy with just having one, because it is alot more than I have ever had in my life for now. For now, huh?! Sounds nice because I can hear myself believing in myself that life is going to better from this point on.

To add to yesterday, because the editing option isn't available, I went to see my therapist and we went over different situations that have occured in my life, and I didn't feel one way or another over them, actually I felt pretty peaceful. We talked about alot of things, one being "the secret" documentry film I saw the previous night, and he agreed that this film was very theraputic because it was cognitive thinking. He didn't warn me about this film in anyway, instead just told me that most of it had merit and I got the freedom to pick and choose from it what would work for me. Like he said, all of the stuff in the film won't work for everyone, but the idea behind it would, and would pertain to whatever aspects anyone could use to improve their thinking and feeling. Awesome!

Ok, so I'm thinking of this economy right now and how things are going bad for everyone. One being my father's Cherolet dealership. Pontiac and Oldsmobile are now out of the picture because GM has done away with them. So I thought of another dealer in the same area where we live and how he lost his Ford franchise and now how he turned it around in his favor and still kept the name but instead dropped the Ford name and turned it around to a used car lot and service station. I was thinking this same approach for my father and had an idea of starting a website for him.

In this website I started to design, I added alot of money making oppurtunities pertaining to his sales and service department. I implimented ways to e-commerce that customers could purchase vehicles online, or make service appointments online, and added so many options to this website that would automatically market, schedule, and keep track of sales of vehicles and service. I feel really good about this and I already feel confident that I could manage this website for him. I outlined all the important things that pertained to his infostructure of his business in the cheapest but most effective way possible. I would basically run his business online for him, and all he had to do was check his email periodically. Could this website designing oppurtunity be just that, a window of oppurtunity to make alot of money and afford that Corvette? I'd like to think so. Hey, I believe and feel it's already mine, the oppurtunity and the Vette!

Well, tonight, I got really excited about everything. I was excited that my life is going to start turning around for the better. Already I am using cognitive thinking about bad moods and stressful situation, and I know if I just stay positive, things will start to happen for me.

I remember on this video that it said to take measures to get what you want by actually believing that they are already yours. So I printed off a new Corvette key from Google images, cut it out, put a keyring on it, and hung it up on my keyholder in my kitchen. It looks so real from a distance, so when I go and get my kieys in the morning, I will see that Corvette key hanging there. This made me feel really really good; infact so good that I wrote a check out for $104,000 to pay for the Corvette I want. I know I don't have the money for it, by no means at all right now, but I will. I don't know where the money is going to come from, but I feel it getting closer and closer, and I am so jittery and unsettled from the excitement. God I feel like a kid waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve!

I keep telling myself, "remember the video; positive thinking generates positive feelings, and positive feelings generate your outcome from the rest of the universe's power" I have been thinking so positively since watching this video. Even the stressful circumstances that bother me for the time being, I turn them around in my head and start thinking of the positive outcomes of the bad situation that is happening right now. I'll tell you what, it works, because I was never able to do this, especially having been diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder, I can turn a bad situation around in my head faster than I have ever done before. The longest time it took me to do this since watching this video was maybe 20 minutes, and this was a very stressful situation. Other times I have turned around stressful situations in my head maybe 5 minutes, if not less.

My head seems clearer and my body feels purified, and even my soul feels re-energized. This is awesome. I feel if I don't get the Corvette, so what, I have been feeling so good that I only prayed to feel in the last 31 years of my life. I think THIS is what I truely wanted. A corvette is only a material object, but the feelings I am feeling now are priceless!
