From my past (and present) experience I think we sometimes have "test times".
You know, like Jesus Christ was in the desert (just imagine, a desert!) for many many days, and all of a sudden temptation comes and promises him alternative ways of reaching positive results in his life.
I think these tests, these temptations, come randomly.
At the moment I am at the bottom of a test because I've been using LOA for almost a year, but a few months ago I asked "What if all this is just in my head?"
The funny thing is that, in a way, many things are "just in my head" and yet brought me really good things in my life. My job, my friends, my ideals (not just relationship-wise).
The main feeling I have when I stop relying on my own imagination/perception is to start relying on that of other people and asking approval and confirmation.
What you replied to me in the other topic somehow woke me up.
The best confirmation/approval is the one we create through ourselves, as individuals.
There's plenty of fish in the sea, hundreds of sexy singles out there, waiting for you, and you could have a wonderful life with them. The grass looks greener out there, why stay in your little garden?
Why? Because I created my little garden. I foster it every day, water the plants, choose which flowers and which colors to put, how to decorate the earth.
If the grass looks is greener out there in the unknown, it's just because we didn't take care of our own garden for some time.
We need to take care of our own garden (perception, confidence, values, idealss, faith).
