According to the Law of Attraction, your thoughts dictate your reality.

When the author was a student, his family had very little money. So when friends asked him to join them on their vacation, he knew he couldn’t afford it. But then, just a few weeks later, a check came in the mail for £500 (about $650) – almost exactly the amount the author needed. 

What could have possibly happened? The author believes it was all thanks to something called the Law of Attraction. The idea goes that if you believe something good will happen, you make it more likely that it will happen.

The key message here is: According to the Law of Attraction, your thoughts dictate your reality. 

The opposite is also true: if you dwell on negative thoughts and expect the worst, then you increase the likelihood that this will come true instead. In the author’s case, he spent weeks thinking he would be able to afford the vacation, and the universe responded by making it so. 

But even though he had some success using the Law of Attraction, the author found it didn’t always deliver. He realized that even though he was thinking positively, his thoughts were often accompanied by negative feelings. And this combination made him feel confused and inauthentic – not a great recipe for success. 

To combat this problem, he came up with his own law: the Law of Vibration. According to the Law of Vibration, when you radiate joyful, positive energy, your reality becomes positively charged, too – and you attract joyful, positive things. 

This theory might sound far-fetched, but it’s based in real science. Consider that everything in the universe, including our minds, is made up of atoms that vibrate. It follows, then, that everything else, including our thoughts and emotions, must also vibrate. The author believes that joyful, loving emotions have a high vibrational frequency, whereas angry, depressed emotions vibrate at a low frequency. 

It’s through tapping into these vibrations that you can start to influence the world around you. When an atom vibrates, the atoms around it start vibrating at the same frequency. So if your emotions vibrate higher, then your reality will start to vibrate higher, too. The result? Your external world becomes more loving and joyful.

  • You can take control of your vibrational frequency.
  • It’s not selfish to cut toxic people out of your life.
  • Love yourself to become more secure.
  • In life, you can choose to sow either the seeds of joy or the roots of unhappiness.
  • You don’t need a lot of resources to make your dreams come true.
  • You can’t control what happens, but you can control your reactions.

Some quotes from “Good Vibes, Good Life”

Stop trying to impress people.

Impress yourself.

Stretch yourself.

Test yourself.

Be the best version of you that you can be.

Self-love is the balance between accepting yourself as you are while knowing you deserve better, and then working towards it.

Time is precious and you should be investing it wisely by doing something constructive that will make your life greater.

Change the way you think, feel, speak and act, and you begin to change your world.

The Universe is abundant in all areas; the illusion of fear is the only limitation we have.

We make life all about a future that exists only in our imagination and completely miss what’s happening in front of us.

Improving yourself and your life is also self-love, because it means you recognize that you deserve more than settling for mediocrity.
