Destiny and Law of Attraction

[karen1944]

I believe in Karma and fate. But i have come to realize that we are not locked into some prison. There is also the Law of Attraction. As we go along life experiencing the things that are destined to happen, good or bad, we can make it lighter and less of a burden by thinking positive thoughts. Every thought we think and every action we take, goes toward are fate. Think bad thoughts and your karma will worsen. Think good thoughts and your fate will improve though you will still have to do the things that are destined in this lifetime.

There is no destiny or karma in the sense that there is something outside of  your control that forces you to suffer.

I can easily see why people embrace this fate/karma thing so much. People suffer and go into the whole "Why me? " Attitude, thinking to themselves "Oh it must be God or something I did in a past life or something I did in this life or Im supposed to suffer because I have lessons to learn"

Those thoughts feel waaay better than "I did this, I soley created this suffering, Its my sole responsibility why I havent achieved my desires"

However to truly succeed and manifest and create the reality you desire, you must take full responsibility for your emotions. Know that they are in your control and your emotions are indicators of what you are attracting via the law of attraction. You feel good, good experiences come, you feel bad, bad experiences come. So in that sense sure, karma and fate could very be appropriate concepts. You act hateful, ergo feeling bad, LOA will give you more experiences to magnify the hatred ergo more bad feelings. So yeah I guess that kind of looks karmaic. You fear and focus on all the unwanted, painful aging, lack of money, being a victim to an unjust world. And yeah that is very well a glimpse into your future.
