"YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND!"

Anyone who knows me personally or anyone who has read my blog will know that I have co-authored with Trudie my wife the book 'Dreams Do Come True'  http://dreamsdocometrueuk.co.uk which was published a couple of years ago. The book is basically the story of our lives and homes in on significant events and occurrences of the last 30 years. We talk about how we came to be together before our long struggle to conceive a baby and the effect that had on our relationship. We open up about the reasons for the financial problems we encountered over the years that culminated in me being made bankrupt in 2009 and having just had a quick look back at what I've just written I could forgive you for thinking... 'What a bloody dreary read that book must be! Instead I'll just go out and buy: ' The 10 Best Ways To Top Yourself....(A Beginners Guide To Ending It All) because it will be a lot quicker and far less painful than working my way through what sounds like a slow torturous death by reading!

But honestly the book is not all doom & gloom because we have actually had some fun and good times along our journey which we have written about in a humorous way and come to think of it we also wrote about a lot of the 'tragedies' and 'mishaps' that have come our way with even more misplaced humor and tongue in cheeked-ness! (I just made that word up) and many people have actually used descriptive's such as 'very funny' and 'hilarious' when reviewing it.

In order to pen a book about your life story you have to cast your mind back in time and relive everything that has brought you to where you are now. I found it quite easy to remember the more significant moments because they are the times that elicited strong emotions both then and now  thus enhancing my powers of recall enabling me to write in detail about things that happened many years ago and I include in that the high points as well as the not so high's.

Reading a summary of my 50 years on this planet over 280 pages has had a profound effect on me as I can clearly see how 'Lloyd Thompson' has evolved. Most significant to me is the realisation that up until a few years ago I thought like the majority of people that life and circumstances 'just 'happen' to us all., Good things happen, bad things happen and plenty in between and we just have to accept whatever fate decides to dish out to us and do our best to manage our lives accordingly. But I've discovered that belief was so very far from how life really unfolds not just for me but for everyone on this planet....

I have changed (for the better) more as a person in the last two years than I have over the previous 50, since I discovered and started to understand how 'The Universal Law of Attraction' works in all our lives whether we know it or indeed believe it or not. I am by no means an expert on the subject and in fact would rather describe myself as a 'scholar' in the subject but I have already learned and accept the basic principle of the law that says: That which is like unto itself, is drawn. You may know it as: Birds of a feather flock together.
To gain a basic understanding of the Law of Attraction, see yourself as a magnate attracting to you the essence of that which you are thinking and feeling....Did you get that? We become what we think about with feeling and emotion be it positive or negative.

So armed with my new found knowledge and understanding I have been able to look back over the book of our life so far with great hindsight and new awareness. I no longer feel like a boxer who has just got up from the canvass after being knocked out cold, muttering "what the hell just happened?" while trying to gather my wits and find my bearings. Since the lights have been turned on I can clearly see what has happened in every aspect of our lives and most importantly why! Everything that has happened to Trudie and me over the years happened because it was the focus of our attention....

After 12 years of infertility we finally got our precious baby boy 'Jaja'...because Trudie in particular never stopped believing that we would!

I realised my dream of opening my own Mens' Fashion store through positive belief and expectation that I would and the same happened for my other business many years later!

We managed to get ourselves a home makeover courtesy of 'Carol Vorderman's Better Homes' on ITV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK7W-1OQ-rI even though there were 35,000 other applicants to get on the show because we just knew that when we sent off our letter we would get picked!

We wrote our book when everyone around us was saying: "You two can't write a book". We then managed to get our book published again in stark contract to popular belief and also against proven odds that show 98% of books that are written never actually get published!

People could point to all the negative things that have happened to us and say "Where was your Law of Attraction in those instances? My reply would be that it was very evident in all the negative aspects of our lives because the law works both ways ie. If you choose to focus on the things you do not want in your life with feeling and emotion they will appear in your life....

I am able to see now how I lost both of my company s' because at that time I knew nothing of The Law of Attraction and believed very strongly that life could not remain so good for too long. I constantly feared losing my dream instead of reveling in my success and believing it would last forever and the Universe said "Your wish is my command" and put in place all the people,circumstances and events that led to the final realisation of my predominant thoughts and feelings at that time.

Knowing what I know now I don't feel bitter towards anyone or anything that played a part in the 'not so good' things in my life because I now understand that I have brought everything to myself be it good or bad and I can look forward to positively shaping my future by focusing purely on what I want in life for me and my family.
