Put it out there. thatswhatshesaid

in Friends

I totally believe in The Secret.

don’t leave!

OK, so I believe in aspects of The Secret.

I also believe in karma, meditation, following your own spirituality, and living positively with the help of medications.

I believe in putting out to the world what you want if you want it to come back to you.

Kind of like a figurative boomerang.

I believe that what you put in your body makes you a better-functioning human bean being. It’s too bad my willpower doesn’t abide by that belief, because really, look at me. bygones

When I find myself in a sour mood, I take a break, center myself, and pull out my happy happy. Or, take some Klonopin. When Patrick is on his period in a bad mood, I pull out all the stops to make him laugh, near to the point of annoyance.

I do not surround myself with negative people.

In both my online and offline lives, I have let people go out of my life who put out negative energy that was infecting my environment. I’ve found that I’ve not done it purposefully, but I do it subconsciously.

I sometimes later find out that those people ended up hurting others, destroying friendships.

I’ve learned that if I have a bad feeling about someone, I need to trust that instinct and keep a distance until and if that feeling proves to be wrong.

I don’t think that feeling has ever been wrong.

Lately, I’ve put out to the world that I do not lie.

I am not a person who lies.

I am a person who gives.

I am a person who puts out the LOLs.

I am a person who will succeed.

I am a girl who loves chocolate.

(This is the part where The Secret sends me a caseload of said chocolate.)

I believe the sames thing. Before I wake up in the morning I ask myself what I can do to make this day better for someone else. And when I lie down at night I make sure that I did. I also have a board in my kitchen of my wants that I look at everyday and put that out the universe that I would like that please.

You know, that’s one book I have yet to read. Someday.

I think you’re amazing and I love you more than a fat kid loves cake. (BTW This fat kid loves cake. Lots.)

I’m sorry if this was brought on by something / or someone in particular. May their granny panties bunch endlessly and their bras itch like crazy.

Was that bad Karma?

Amen sister. Don’t let the toxic get you down. I will admit to believing in the power of intention and the secret (which is basically the same thing and I was really pregnant when I watched that movie and I think I fell asleep at one point and was cracking jokes at some other points).

the video was beyond crazy, but the ultimate belief behind it is what works: intention & goals.

Call me an asshole, (I am) but I’m an asshole who tells the truth, calls out bullshit and cuts out people who treat others like shit.
I guess what I’m saying is I agree with this wholeheartedly. And love you to bits. Oh and I try very hard to ignore the bullshit and keep putting positivity out there. I love that you are like that too. You and Patrick are both like that. Love. You. Both. xoxo

I have no idea what The Secret is. Is that an Oprah thing? Because it totally sounds like an Oprah thing.

But I love this post. And I do the same thing. People who are constantly negative or who just like to stir up drama, I tend to back away from. I have no need for that in my life at all.

it’s totally an oprah thing but it doesn’t have to be.

it’s all about intention and goals, and unrelated to the secret, positive energy.

I don’t totally believe in the Secret. THERE! I said it.

But, I’m getting there.

I do believe you get back what you give.

So keep giving!

it’s all about perception and making it for YOU. what it is for me is different than what it might be for you.

also, it makes me happy.

I am so jealous of all of you people who talk about doing this subconsciously and getting “bad feelings” about people that you just need to listen to better.

If I had a dollar for every time Jared or a friend of mine said “well, yeah, I always kind of knew there was something about that person…” – well, I could afford better therapy. Heh.
