WELCOME
to the Personal Development Carnival- June 10, 2007 edition!
I want to send out a Thank You to my friend Lyman Reed for again allowing me to host. It really is fun! If you would like to enjoy this great opportunity at your blog, you can go …

Do opposites attract? Yes opposites do attract, any magnet can tell you that positives attract negatives.

And in real life the phenomena also exist, opposites do tend to attract. The real question/problem is what happens after the attraction. It has been my personal experience that in the long run and sometimes even in the short run being attracted to an opposite is not a good thing.

Let me tell you a little story or two. Several times in my life I was attracted to people who were the opposite of me and let me be specific here with an example, of a women who became my girlfriend, lets call her Monique. Monique was an absolute knockout, tall, slim, long blond hair, and to top it all off very intelligent, so it didn’t take me but a minute to fall madly in love with her.

The problem was after getting to know her, she was the complete opposite regarding, values, religion, politics, food, dress, travel, music, smoking, and almost everything else. Then, after several months together all Monique and I ended up doing was fighting and arguing over almost everything. Yes, for some reason I was attracted to this very opposite person and it ended up a complete disaster. This opposite attraction to women happened several times to me and I always had to learn the hard way. Only later in my life did I finally figure out to take my time and not to get to deeply involved with opposites, even though I am attracted to them.

A little older a little wiser, as the saying goes. I have found that in life we are presented with the same lesson until we finally get it right!

As I like traveling and meeting other cultures, by accident -but not accidentally- I manifested an EU youth training program -thanks EU taxpayers for the support- and now I am back refreshed, with new friends, experiences and ideas… about what would I really like to manifest into my life.

Of course, it changes always.

Attila, you may missed some elements – at least according to my version: you not only have to wait.. but you have to Act upon the Universe…
(Literally it means – work

And the Universe likes speed… when you see the opportunity – go for it!

Your conclusion adds something more to the above mentioned time factor: time also brings change, change brings different priorities/needs.

and how about ‘Opposites atract’ ?

another question wold be: if most men would like to be with Adrian Lima for example or another star how can this come true?

However, one sobering thought here, as we grow and develop, and yes age, our priorities/needs tend to change, and so our attractions change also. This affects our work, our hobbies our families and our circle of friends.

One quick note on thought manifestation, this is real folks, thought manifestation works and it is constantly going on in both our conscious and subconscious mind. It is a very powerful forse. I once heard a wise friend of mine once say:

“BECAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, BECAUSE YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT”.

An example I have of this, a friend of mine once told me he was wishing for several years that he could retire early. He finally did, 7 years ahead of schedule, only to die of a heart attack 6 months later.

I would like to hear some other thoughts on this expression.

True, it’s not easy when it has become like a habit to think negativistic of yourself. The good part is though that there is a way out and it’s never too late to get posivite and also find balance.
