‘Dark Continent’ – A 19th century expression previously used to describe Africa, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa. As little was known about the continent’s interior geography, map-makers would often leave this region dark – Still is!
I am reading a lot about the Laws of Attraction, therefore when you get writers block, all you do is attract more of it. So I went looking for inspiration and found it, sort of, in a short story by Ayn Rand “The Simplest Thing in the World”. This is the introduction to the story, I quote “The story illustrates the nature of the creative process – the way in which an artist’s sense of life….” we’ll stop right there. It’s this “sense of life” thing that is the problem, it comes from what we have inherited from our tribe/family/call it whatever you like and their respective mindsets. Now, if you grow up believing that you can’t do it, you can’t! This is what you have to change. It requires constant vigilance of what you are thinking about, only good positive thoughts are allowed.
On to other things, if you have not heard of Leo Babauta, go read his blog, http://zenhabits.net/about/ and as he says “smile, breath & go slowly”
Till next time.

Today is Nelson Mandela’s 93rd birthday. If he had not been around to guide South Africa to democracy I fear the country would have gone up in flames. This quote from him I believe is also appropriate to the Laws of Attraction “We must use time wisely and forever realise that the time is also ripe to do right.” My spin on this is don’t waste your time thinking negatively!
I am currently reading two books on the Laws of Attraction; an eBook by Dr Joe Vitale – Attract Money Now, and The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks and will be quoting from them liberally in my blogs. If you want to download Joe Vitale’s eBook go here: http://www.attractmoneynow.com/
Now, to quote from Attract Money Now “Remember, your lack of money, love, health, wealth and happiness comes directly from your mindset.” “Shifting your focus to where you want to be, rather than focusing on what you don’t have, shifts you out of the scarcity mindset into receiving mode.”
If you’re going to think, which you do anyway – be positive, know what you want from life and focus on that!

This weekend our car broke down. Its done a few miles, and various components needed repair and/or replacing. I have been delaying this, hoping to get it to last a little longer so that I can scrap it and sell it before we emigrate to the UK. However, I do fret and worry about it all the time! Now it has broken down, all the parts that have been showing signs of trouble packed up at the same time! I now wonder whether with all my fretting and worrying I didn’t bring this on? You know, manifested it, in terms of the Laws of Attraction – nonsense! I know of course, that if I had done the repairs this would have not happened!
This is the whole point of the Laws of Attraction, for instance when it comes to money, don’t think about how to actually bring in the money: think about what you must do in order to let the money come to you. You actually have to do something!
