ARTICLE: Dealing with John Q. Inconsiderate

The other day, while driving my car, I was mentally complaining to myself about John Q. Inconsiderate who hadn't returned my emails for several weeks. Although I'd had a good business relationship with John Q., I wasn't getting the communication that I needed. This was not the first time that I was mentally complaining. Mild impatience had grown to annoyance which had now escalated to a full-out fabricated fantasy about his professional incompetence. Fortunately, this time I caught myself. "Duh! Sonia, what do you expect?" If you judge his non-communication as "bad" you will create a bad experience!"

The reality is that all events in life are actually neutral. They only become "good" events or "bad" events when we judge them as good or bad. Our thoughts, emotions, and actions together comprise our consciousness. And consciousness creates! Remember, what you put in the big cosmic copy machine, you get back in your experience.

So, what did I do? I immediately stopped complaining and mentally gave John Q. the benefit of the doubt. "Sonia, you've had good experiences with him. You've been happy with his work. He's been professional. He's probably just very busy. He'll write back. Just let it go." And guess what? I got home and there was an email waiting for me with an apology and explanation for his non-communication. I kid you not! That's how this stuff works.

If you want to start creating a different reality than what you're currently experiencing, start paying attention to your mind-set. What you discover can lead you to new possibilities.

Choose Your Reality!

Speaking of the law of attraction - I couldn't agree more. I'm constantly looking for resources that can help me stay on track ... this is great.

Hi, Sonia
Most people spend their day spending their energy on criticizing Mr This or Mr That, instead of giving precisely the benefit of the doubt. However, if most times I agree with the law of attraction, there are other s it seems not to work that good.Is there an explanation for this or is it pure coincidence?

Hi Sophia,

Thanks for visiting and thanks for your question. As for an answer there is a short version and a long version. After 20+ years of study, I have come to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction absolutely works! Period. I have learned through much trial and error that when it "seems" not to work it is not because the concept itself is flawed, but that we have more learning to do. That WE must expand our consciousness. During my years of study, experimentation and exploration with the Law of Attraction, there were many times I rejected the notion that I create my own reality. But time and again, I came full circle in my efforts to reconcile what seem to be contradictions. Every time I went deeper, I understood more.

That was the short answer. The long answer then to "is there a good explanation?" Yes! There are many, many good explanations that can shed light on why the Law of Attraction doesn't seem to work at times. Personally, I've dedicated my free newsletter, "Sonia Miller's Soul Food Ezine" to explaining the deeper, more subtle nuances regarding how to get the Law of Attraction to work in our lives.
