Creativity At Its Finest

I attempted to channel my inner-Francesca with the girls yesterday. Francesca is the girl I stayed with for 2 weeks prior to starting my coursework at London School of Economics this summer. She is also one of my best friends BUT living with her was definitely a strange experience. Strange in a good way but Francesca is extremely into the concept of manifesting happiness and positivity through one's daily activities. I found it extremely refreshing to be immersed in this way of thinking. While I don't entirely understand the concept just yet, I do understand why proactively thinking about your goals might encourage eventually achieving them.

This school of thought is referred to as the "Law of Attraction" and it basically refers to the ability to attractive into our lives whatever we are focusing on. Thus, it is believed that regardless of age, nationality, interests, or religious belief, we are all susceptible to the laws which govern the Universe---one of which being the Law of Attraction.

It is this law that tells you to use the power of the mind to translate whatever is in our thoughts and materialize them into reality. All thoughts will turn into things eventually. It's simple when one thinks about it in terms of cause and effect: if you focus on negative doom you will remain in that mindset. If you focus on positive thoughts, however, your actions will follow and your routine will change so that you achieve these mere thoughts. 

The vision board is utilized as a Law of Attraction took as it serves as a visual affirmation. The biggest hurdle people face when trying to adopt the law of attraction is losing sight of the meaning of life---the point of doing all of this. As the oh-so-famous acronym, YOLO, states: you only live once. I realize it's cheesy to think this, god forbid say it aloud, but it's true. We really all do live once, and to spend half of this precious time contemplating what the point of it all is...is silly. 

In the later afternoon, we baked the girls' grandmother's special chocolate cake. It was delicious and I had it for breakfast, too. My heart is happy...stomach probably not AS happy. :)
