Two monks were traveling on foot together through a town, when they came across a princess being carried by her servants on a platform. The princess wished to get off the platform, but a mud puddle blocked her path. Her servants could not carry her as they were also carrying many packages for the princess. She chastised her servants as useless, fools, and the like.
The older of the two monks walked across the mud, picked the princess up and carried her across the puddle. As she was being put down on the other side, she gave the older monk not so much as a thank you, and went on her way.
The two monks continued on their journey, and as they did so, the younger monk got more and more angry and frustrated at the rude behavior of the princess. Finally, after several hours he could not take it any more, and exclaimed to the older monk, "That princess was so rude to you! You went out of your way to help her, went into the mud for her, carried her on your back, and she did not even say, 'thank you'! Doesn't that bother you?"
The older monk replied, "I finished carrying her hours ago, shouldn't you do the same?"
Too many of us refuse to put down the many "princesses" in our lives. Why? What is to be gained by dwelling on those that have done us wrong, or the bad things that have happened to us in the past? Absolutely nothing! In fact, the Law of attraction states that dwelling on such things will not only prevent them from ever going away, but will in fact cause more of them to occur!
How many times have you gotten up in the morning, and had something go wrong right off the bat? It sets you in a mood, which continues to spiral downward as more and more things go wrong. Wouldn't it be great if there were some way to stop that from happening? Well there is!
The Law of attraction says so. Break your day down into little episodes. You get out of bed. That is one episode. You brush your teeth - another episode. Make it a point to tell yourself that each thing that happens to you will be what you want it to be, and know that you can make it so. The Law of attraction works whether you believe it or not. It is a law, and by definition it is operating all the time. Know this fact, and you can control our life beyond your wildest dreams!
For people new to Law of attraction, however, the first, and perhaps hardest step is letting go of the past. Know that everything that has come into your life, both good and bad, has been attracted there by you. You have been practicing the Law of attraction your entire life, you just may not have been aware of it. We all have had "negative" things happen in our lives, but those things were supposed to happen, as we attracted them into our lives.
We cannot change the past, but we must not dwell on it either. Many counselors in programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, state the exact opposite - that people MUST dwell on the past. Every person in AA basically wakes up every morning, looks in the mirror and says, "I am an alcoholic and I cannot change that fact." That is nonsense. The Law of attraction says so. You are who you want yourself to be. That person may have been an alcoholic in the past, but he has to get out of the past, and move into the present.
Whatever happened to us in the past, it happened for a reason, and it happened because we attracted it to occur. Nothing can undo it. But do not carry the negative things from your past around. Don't carry the princess any longer. Bob Jung is an attorney and Law of attraction author and lecturer. He has been practicing law for 16 years, and practicing LOA his entire life.
