Casting and Attracting

Posted on February 3, 2013 by

I just read two questions that were being asked on Facebook: “What are you casting out in life? What are you attracting?”

I believe that if one knows the answer to the first question, the second isn’t necessary, for if I know what someone is casting out in the world I also know what they are mostly bringing in–it will largely be the same, but probably in even larger quantities.

Love,
Russ

    They say to give what you’re looking for in your own life!

    That’s a great question Russ! I think I will ask it on my own Facebook page – I would be interested to hear varying thoughts. I believe what you are saying is correct – if you cast our love, you will attract the same back into your life. And so forth with negative emotions.

    And I think it can be related to life in so many ways. It’s the same as the people you invite, and allow into your life, and they way they will then influence your life.

      Thank you, Meg. It will be interesting to see the comments your readers make. I enjoy your posts. As far as inviting people into my life, there was a time when most people declined the invitation. I simply didn’t have enough positive things to offer to them and/or I had enough negative things that I repelled them. I worked on becoming the kind of person and friend that I would want to have, and as I became that person, more people began accepting the invitation to become a meaningful part of my life. It took time and effort but I love the results.
