All of us are composed of energy. We have within us the exact same atoms and molecules that comprise the universe. Therefore, we are interconnected, and whatever energy we give off–whether positive or negative–will attract energy exactly like it.

The universal law of attraction is put to work when what starts off as an idea is developed into a vocation, and then guided to completion by your actions or the decisions you take to achieve it.

Maybe you may have heard of the power of positive thinking. That is precisely what this is. It is all in the mind, as the famous saying goes.

As potent and successful as having this kind of mindset is, the same thing is true for the opposite. If you ruminate way too much on the negative and constantly worry about even the littlest things, then the negative forces will be birthed into reality.

Contrary to that, if you go through life in a continuous state of positivity and affirmation, then you are sending out positive vibes into the world. The world will then pick up on those vibrations, and it will respond with the same positivity you have.

In Paulo Coelho’s acclaimed book, The Alchemist, the wise king tells the shepherd boy, “When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it.” This is the true meat of the universal law of attraction. It’s not a function of “if” you will attain what you hope for. On the other hand, it is “when” your innermost wishes will come to you.

Based on the universal law of attraction, you have the capacity to make things come to fruition merely by thinking about it. It may be cliché, but anything is possible if you think about it with passion. If you can keep it in your thoughts, you will be able to get it, do anything you desire, or become whoever you want to become.

Reserve no room for fear and negativity, or these damaging emotions will rule over your life and tag along like a storm cloud. Do not disbelieve for a split second that your dreams will come true. If you are wholly and utterly sure that they will become real, then trust that these will really come true.

But don’t just rest on your laurels absorbing everything that comes your way. Take command and draw toward yourself all the success and prosperity the universe has prepared for you. Though you may not be aware of it yet, you are in complete control of your choices.

But how do you go about thinking through to success? Concentrate on your goal, believe it is in your hands, and visualize its attainment. Experience it in your mind–the sensation of it in your fingers, having it so close you can actually smell it, and the exhilaration of knowing it is yours for the taking. Give yourself these positive emotions and you will draw similarly positive effects.

In film, what sets apart drama and melodrama is that with the latter, their environment affects the characters. With drama, on the other hand, the characters themselves control their own circumstances. As with the universal law of attraction, you make your own reality; just like in a movie, you create your own endings.
