Employing the Law of Unintended Consequences

What we dwell on defines the course of our thinking and our lives. When we dwell on thoughts of “my bad luck” or “I’ll never find a good job” or “the kids won’t…” or  “I hate…” or dwell on any thought concerning something we really don’t want in our lives, we invite in exactly what we are trying to avoid! This is the Law of Unintended Consequences demonstrated. Being a law, the converse is true as well, so when we dwell on thoughts of abundance, peace, kindness, love, and serenity, we attract these qualities into our lives.

Dwelling on hate or its cousin resentment is 100 per cent effective in shutting us off from the sunlight of the Spirit, their only purpose to produce more hate and resentment. Remember the analogy of one bad apple? Apples used to be placed in a barrel filled with liquid to preserve them through the winter. If a single apple in the barrel began to rot, the rest of the apples became tainted, inedible. Hate and resentment have the same effect on our consciousness, tainting every thing. Though we need to watch consistently for all negativity and limitation thinking, hate and resentment are particularly destructive.

To be clear: jobs are lost and found, money comes and goes, our children will act up just as we did, our health issues will increase as we age (and one of them will be the last one) what matters is how we address these thoughts when they surface in our consciousness, do we dwell on the low or seek the high? Do we seek God’s will or wallow in the negative? By choosing love, kindness, patience and tolerance as our course this law will open the door of undreamed of possibilities, often from completely unexpected sources, a fountainhead of miracles revealed and the choice is always ours.
