Many people have experienced in their lives that whatever they were worried about came true. Whatever they did not want to happen, happened. Whatever situation they wanted to avoid, practically appeared before them. Are these experiences mere coincidences or there is a scientific reason behind their happening?

Most of these unfavorable and unpleasant situations are created by us, though unconsciously, unwantedly and unknowingly. There is some science working behind these happenings and once that is known one can even avoid creating these unwanted situations in life.

Imagine each thought you think as a mental photograph.

When you worry or fear for something, it is first exposed to your brain as an image of an unfavourable situation. As you focus more and more on your worried situation, the image in your brain begins to develop more clearly and gets fully exposed like a real
situation.

These images then signal the subconscious mind as well as cosmic forces to create a real life situation. Cosmic forces understand images sent by the subconscious mind as signals for our desire. Then cosmic forces influence us and push us to take such actions that make the image convert into a real life situation. These cosmic forces may also attract and influence other people who could help create those situations in our life. In this process, cosmic forces also create coincidences and permutations-combinations of several events for the success of manifesting those unwanted situations.

If we are careful in our thoughts, imagination and feelings then we can avoid creating unwanted painful situations in life. In fact we can start creating all those situations which we really want for our success, prosperity, happiness and well-being.

There should not be any negative thoughts, imaginations and worries for anything. You should not allow your mind to focus on something which you don’t want… otherwise you actually strengthen the neural networks of your brain and would create the image for something which you don’t want.

Worry is actually a very powerful form of negative goal setting.

Five laws to create what you want in life and avoid creating what you don’t want:
(1) Stop worrying and fearing for anything in life and instead direct your mental focus on those things, situations and circumstances which you want. “Never focus on anything which you don’t want”.
(2) Whenever you cannot stop your worries then offer them at the feet of God and ask Him to take care of it as you are incapable of handling your worries. Accept whatever you get as a gift from God.
(3) Seek forgiveness from all those people whose feelings, knowingly or unknowingly, you have hurt.
(4) Visualise your positive goals with positive affirmations.
(5) Meditate regularly and learn to relax and control your mind.
