As we end one decade and begin 2020, it’s the perfect time to think about the Law of Attraction. The law of attraction is based on the principle that you attract people, situations and circumstances that are aligned with the energy you give out.

This means that people with positive energy attract more happy experiences into their life. Meanwhile, people who are always sad, depressed or angry attract less favourable experiences.

STAYING POSITIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

This energy extends to social media. For example, many people post online on Facebook or Twitter about unpleasant memories and experiences. About people who disappointed them or didn’t love them enough. Or about companies or restaurants that didn’t give them the service they deserve. And even about less than ideal random encounters with strangers.

Note to everyone who feels the need to gripe online: you are passing on even in a small way some negative energy. This act of spreading negativity takes you one step further from the continuous luck you desire. It’s karma.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

We get what we focus one. So even posting an inspirational quote about finding the strength to say “no more” to someone who didn’t love us enough is a double-edged. A quote like this also gives energy to the experience of not being loved or appreciated enough.

THE EXPERIENCES OF LIFE

Furthermore, every single person has these experiences. This is Life. But if you really wish a more wonderful one of luck and love, you must transcend these and focus only on what you want.

Forgive and let go of disappointments because these are really nothing in the Big Picture of Life. Just ask anyone fighting for their life and last few breaths due to some unfortunate condition. They will tell you how disappointments of any kind don’t matter at all. Save for spending more time with loved ones.

THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

Focus on what you have and love. Stop thinking or writing about what you didn’t get or what you don’t have, or what you wish you didn’t get. Or you will get more of these in your life. 

And please stop griping online. You should actually ask yourself: why do you feel the need to gripe in public on a regular basis? Choose forgiveness and move on. Don’t make any space in your life or in your head, or on your Facebook wall, for any situation you actually don’t want.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

This world we live in is so wonderful and no one’s life is perfect. Choose to think about your life and world as glasses half full. Always.

Lots of people ask me what the secrets are to good luck and an amazing life. Well, these are it. So simple but mastering it takes practice. You get what you focus on, what you think about, what you write about.

So think only about the wonderful things in life, and let go of those things (and people) that aren’t. And say “thank you” always to the god or divine power you believe in for everything good that comes your way. Because gratitude always brings more things to be grateful for. 

A blessed new year to our readers. May all our dearest wishes and desires come true in 2020. Read more inspiring stories about Travel and Life, and the law of attraction, in Travelife Magazine.

There’s a formula to getting (almost) everything you want in life and it’s called The Law of Attraction. It can be applied to every aspect of life, and it’s especially useful for travel. Just this weekend, I used it to get a hotel suite in Kobe.

Mind you, I did not actively apply it to get this hotel suite. When you are experienced enough about the Law of Attraction, it becomes a way of life. It’s almost second nature. And then, this is where the magic starts to happen.

ABOUT THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

You might be asking: what exactly is the Law of Attraction? It means to exist in a state of pure purpose and high vibrational energy. In this state, you have no space or even patience for negative things. Once you reach this level, which anyone can do with practice and discipline, almost everything works out for you.

I stress “almost” because there are times when the Law of Attraction is blocked from working properly. These are the times when I attach too much importance to what I want instead of making a wish and going with the flow. When I’m so stressed about the outcome, it’s always slower to come.

APPLYING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION EVERY DAY

But everyday things are a piece of cake if you keep your vibrations high and avoid low energy things like gossip, envy and pettiness. Friends who travel with me are always surprised how and why everything always goes as planned. Even things that don’t turn out the way I planned actually turn out for the better.

DELAYED FLIGHT TO PRAGUE

Once I was on a flight to Prague on Turkish Airlines from Hong Kong via Istanbul. To catch this flight, I had to take Cathay Pacific from Manila to Hong Kong. Unfortunately there was congestion in Manila airport so our Cathay Pacific flight for Hong Kong took off late.

I knew I would miss my connection but I wasn’t too worried. I knew everything would be okay. When I reached Hong Kong, indeed, an airline staff was waiting with my name on a signboard.

Immediately I was put on a Cathay Pacific flight to Frankfurt and then Turkish Airlines arranged for me to take Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Prague. Everything worked out and I actually arrived in Prague three hours earlier than planned. And, of course, everyone can always use more time in Prague!

The Four Seasons Hotel in Prague, which is my home away from home in the Czech Republic, already had my room ready too. So everything worked out wonderfully.

A HOTEL SUITE IN KOBE

Meanwhile, just this weekend in Kobe for a short holiday, I checked into a hotel that I hadn’t booked myself. I’d let someone else do the arrangements. But when I saw the room, I said to myself: “This is such a small room. I wish I’d booked the suite.”

Then I thought no more about this save to look at the bright side. It was a small room but it had one of the loveliest views of Kobe. We went out to dinner shortly after and returned to the hotel at around 10 PM.

INSPIRED ACTION FOR A HOTEL SUITE IN KOBE

By some fluke completely independent of any actions from me, it became necessary to vacate my hotel room and instead we were transferred to a lovely corner suite.

I was quite tired last night so I didn’t think anything of it anymore. I was just happy to have a suite with a tatami room and a wonderful futon for sleeping. But this morning, I realised that I had indeed wished for a suite instead of my original small hotel room yesterday. And I had gotten my wish by the end of the day without doing anything at all except to keep happy and grateful.

This kind of situation always happens to me. I’d like to think it’s the Law of Attraction at work.

In California for several weeks, I decided to conduct my own experiment in kindness and gratitude. To apply the Law of Attraction based on the principle that you attract what you put out.

The United States is not really known for great service to travellers, you see, unless you count instances where tipping is involved. So I decided to see for myself whether this situation can be changed simply by initiating the change itself.

Experiment in kindness and gratitude

My experiment was simple. I made the conscious decision to be nice and grateful to every stranger I came into contact with during my holiday in California. These included employees of hotels, waitstaff at restaurants, and airline personnel. And also staff at rental car agencies, stores, and other places I went to.

I smiled at everyone regardless of their initial attitude towards me. Then I kept the tone of my voice cheerful and happy no matter what. I said thank you for every small thing, and of course for the big things. And each time I smiled or said thank you, I really meant it.

Basically, I wanted to see for myself what would happen if I initiated the kindness instead of just expecting to be the recipient of it.

The result of kindness and gratitude in California

The results of this three-week experiment in California were actually astonishing. It proved to me that people do get what they expect and that the energy that one gives out is so important to determining the outcome of one’s life. Basically it’s the Law of Attraction at work.

Mind you, I am always a positive person and I think I’m very much on the nice side. However, this time, I went beyond a regular kind of nice to see what would happen.

How to turn your life around with energy

I had the most amazing experiences. I got everything I wanted in three weeks of traveling around California, even when the odds were not in my favour. In many cases, I effortlessly turned situations in my favour just by being a kind and grateful person.

Getting everything I wanted at a luxury hotel

For example, during a stay in one very expensive hotel, I asked about two in-room amenities. One of the things I wanted was complimentary and the other was available for a fee. I decided to just ask for the complimentary amenity with a grateful heart and a word of thanks.

That same afternoon, to my surprise, the fee-based amenity was delivered to my room. The lady at the front desk said: “We couldn’t find the complimentary amenity so we’ve decided to just send you the other one.”

How lucky, I thought. And again, I thanked her for this. About two hours later, the complimentary amenity arrived. The lady at the front desk rang up and said: “We found the amenity. So you can have both with our compliments.”

Lucky everyday

This kind of situation happened every day. Just by being nice, I even got things I never asked for. People went out of their way to do kind gestures for me in every single place, and every single day. In some cases, the stranger I was dealing with was in a bad mood or didn’t even say hello. But this quickly changed with a smile, a greeting and a word of thanks from me.

Lessons about the law of attraction

What did this teach me? You can change the outcome of your daily life just by being kind and grateful whenever possible. This can happen regardless of how the other person is acting towards you. In this case, everything literally went my way on this trip.

And, in the end, all these nice days add up to having a pretty incredibly nice life. It’s such a simple thing to do but it makes such a big difference. I proved this to myself on this holiday in California, living a Travelife.
