Hello there faithful reader of the internet,
Today I'm going to write some musings on life and routines, so lets get started.
Since deciding that University certainly wasn't for me I have been trying to shape my life in the way that I think a proper adult should, the only difference is I'm constantly having fun and doing what I do. Since I was a child there have been two things I've enjoyed the most and that is acting and writing.
When I was the victim of a mugging in 2009 and developed stage fright I never thought that I would go near the stage again, but these last few years have been a struggle well worth it because I never suffer from panic attacks any more and I never think I will.
I strongly believe this is because I have been persistant and with the help of my lovely girlfriend Alissa, I have turned my life around.
I've always known of the existence of the Law of Attraction but I never started using it until April, I write this now with a very happy heart as I mentally review all of the miracles that have happened since then.
For instance at the time I was a doubting student, worrying about his place in life and half ready to just settle with any crappy job and start earning money to live life. But then I decided to start writing down my goals every night and as a rule I made sure for each goal I had I wrote down ten things I already had that I was grateful for.
My confidence as an actor has been growing again these past few years, but not even I anticipated how fast I would begin a career in it, in June I got speaking to my friend Simon Fisher-Becker, who advised me on trying to get an agent and a Spotlight and by using the Law of Attraction I did more than that, I got myself a Spotlight page, an agent, an audition and a job!
I was amazed at how fantastic these lists of goals had been and since looking back through my goals book I can't believe how much of them have been achieved, simple things that I could never have predicted.
So after getting myself into a routine of writing lists I am currently trying to find my next source of income and build a routine in my life, some small things have already taken place.
One of my aims is to keep writing and confiding in this blog whenever I feel the need. So here's to the future my friends!

New things, new year, back to uni soon!
So here I am, in 2013 after the exciting 2012.
I must admit that I enjoyed last year, I've been enjoying myself for a long while though now and since I started to put the law of attraction in play so many fantastic things have happened; for instance I recently got to see myself on a cinema screen, I've worked with a top actor who has inspired me in many ways and all I seem to do with my life these days is write; if I'm not writing Waterside, I'm writing my radio soap opera and if I'm not doing that I'm engrossed in university work!
I know I can't believe it, academic work can actually be quite fun. It's unbelievable, you get this huge sense of procrastination because you're doing it because you have to, but the second you begin working on it, by golly, it's actually extremily fascinating.
I love life as it is always throwing so many exciting and brilliant things towards me, at the end of the month I'll be appearing in Panto, something I've wanted to do for just over 5 years now. Waterside- the project I begun last year- has actually found it's winning formula. I love it because when I write I know each and every character as if they were real people and oh, they are so complicated and deep, and the plot twists are unimaginable. This series really does begin with a bang and I mean huge- unpredictably huge, I don't think I've ever seen it done before.
Meanwhile, I'm working on a new business project with my girlfriend and we're planning and casting a radio soap, which I hope to one day rival the Archers. Here we are at the very beginnings my friends and if you're superstitous and thinking that 2013 is going to be a bad year, then think again because all the best things happen when the number 13 is involved!

I Got A Result!
Today was results day. I won't babble on too much to cut a long story short I got a very unexpected result. The story all starts way back in Feb of this year, I decided I wanted to go to University and so within a week I'd set up my late UCAS app and sent it off to two Uni's, Derby as my first option and De Montfort as my back up.
Sadly, Derby being my first option I was slightly disappointed when just a week later they sent back with an unsuccessful and I thought any hope of going to Uni was lost. Then came the conditional offer for De Montfort, which for those of you who don't know meant that as long as I met a condition set then I would be going to De Montfort.
The rest of the terms later, I'd put in my work for Media in hopes of meeting the condition (a B) so that I could get into my Uni that was good enough. The second option but hey it was still an option right?
So when I went to collect my results today and found that I had a C and was only one mark off a B you can imagine my first reaction; my heart pounded and somewhere within me tears wanted to form in my eyes and at the back of my head there was this voice telling me to just give up and soak up in all the negativity that this suggested. Instead I took a deep breath and accepted why I could feel so sad but instead as usual I refused to give up hope.
As soon as I got home I rang in to numerous clearance hotlines, trying my utmost to find a place that would suit me. De Montfort turned me down right away without another consideration, but Derby on the other hand listened. Derby took in my results and told me that with what I had achieved I could now be given a verbal offer to join the University.
Let's just review this a second; I didn't get the grade I needed to get to get into my second best Uni but somehow I got a grade that single handedly led me to getting into the Uni I had originally hoped to get into.
The Universe works in an odd way my friends. I should feel disappointment for what I got today and I know that part of me is wanting sympathy. Truth is I don't need it. That part of me is being stupid because I got what I wanted, I have come this far and now I am going on farther so what is there to complain about?
I would just like to thank everyone, my girlfriend Alissa, my parents, my friend Jacob, my tutors Claudine, Phil, Martin and Ben for all of the support they have given me. I'd like to thank them for all the good times and all the fantastic things that I have learnt and the undying faith they have in me.
It is people like this, people who look after me to the extent where they make me feel special. My gratitude expands so far to them because they believe in me and I believe in myself because of them. Thank you world for the opportunities I have, thank you all for reading todays blog, heres to the future, the future of wonderful attractions and the strange ways I'll get to my goal, I'm living my life to the full....and it all starts here!

How to relieve Negativity
Negativity can be such a hard thing to over come, whether you suffer from depression, anxiety or even anger, controlling it can really be a pain. I personally have suffered with anxiety and like many humans get angry once in a while, I admit I get angry when I've lost something and I'm ripping the house apart to find it or I'm hurt when people say harsh things to me.
What I mean to say is that is how I used to be. Using the LOA can work not only in attracting what you want but attracting happy and positive emotions too. I spoke in a previous post about daily lists of attractions, if you carry your list where ever you go and mark things off as you attract them and add things when you want things you'll be surprised at how good it makes you feel. Jot it down now on your list "I want to be happy all day".
Now that you've written down your goal for the day the Law of Attraction will know what you want and not what you don't want. If you're still wondering why writing a goal down on a piece of paper and carrying it around you will do any good I'll share with you the best experience I've had with these lists in the last few days.
I have suffered from anxiety and the worst daily symptoms I have ever had are stomach aches. I'd get crippling pains in my stomach that sometimes stopped me from even walking, they'd upset and depress me and I'd always go "I've got a stomach ache", it kind of became common knowledge to me and my loved ones. When I got my list I wrote down, I want a clear stomach. The entire day went by and I experienced no pain at all, in fact right now even though I'm hungry and still waiting to have breakfast, my pains are none existent.
For me this feels like a miracle. If you want to counter the negativity within your life, pinpointing it is the first step. I want you to think now, if you're angry what are you angry about? If you're sad what are you sad about, if you've got a pain in your body when was the last time you verbalised it? I'm going to take some of the most major situations that can come of these questions and try and help you see that there is always a positive somewhere.
Say you're angry about a mate who has stabbed you in the back, or a lover who walked out on you then think to yourself, is being angry helping you? Is it hurting them as much as it's hurting you? Either way if you're sitting there choosing to feel the anger at that person then ultimately the LOA is picking up on your feelings and send YOU more things to be angry about, now that you know this you can choose to be happy.
Finding it hard? Just think about the silliest positive you can think of; at least I had the friend, at least I can put it down to experience, at least I can let their negative act go out to the LOA and give THEM the negative energy.
And this works for anything, if you're sad for example about the loss of a loved one and its making you depressed just thinking about them, think about the good times, maybe meditate and feel the emotions of the good times, celebrate in your head the fact you knew and loved this person.
Finally if you have a bad pain and you see that you're verbalising it to people or even thinking about it to yourself your just bringing that pain back, write down now on a piece of a paper, I want a pain free day and expect it. Because as soon as you expect it the universe will do it for you.
What I mean to say is that is how I used to be. Using the LOA can work not only in attracting what you want but attracting happy and positive emotions too.

Being Thankful is Easy!
I'm always talking about what I want in these blogs. Those of you who have been following this from the start will also realise what else I talk about; what I'm thankful for. What inspires me. The thing is, that in this life all of us tend to look straight towards the negatives, we'll focus on what we want and what our subconscious tells us is that we're never going to get it unless we work really hard at getting it and nothing comes without hard work right?
Well I agree that nothing comes with some form of work, but by no means does it have to be hard, what I mean to say is although the work can be tough sometimes, the work doesn't have to be without pleasure. The definition of the word work is as follows:
Activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.
Now where in that sentence does it say anything negative? There is nothing wrong with a bit of work, if that mental or physical effort is making you feeling bad you're working all wrong, what you want to be doing is working in a way that you enjoy, having fun while you do it, sure it is effort but something we all seem to start thinking is things like: I need to have any job at all to get money, money isn't going to come easy you know? I have bills to pay!
Thing is here I am telling you that you don't have to have a life that is only good enough. Sure, right now you're probably saying but I can't help it Allan, I need my job to live. No. You need your money to live. By no means am I saying quit your job, at the minute it's true you need the money and if that's what you're living off don't quit the job but apply the Law of Attraction and work at it to get the job that you want.
Between me and you, in two days I get my results for my Media exam. Since I started college I've been agreeing that I can get a B because I'm ok at it, I haven't said ooo I'm so good I deserve an A, I've been way too worried about the disappointment to even aim to get an A at all. But since I started applying the Law of Attraction I have dared to say that I will get an A. I have dared to want an A and that is the first step to me attracting it.
The other thing I have done is meditate because that helps me relieve the little bit of negative worry and the doubt at the back of my thoughts, it also gives me chance to visualise getting that A, to train myself to expect an A. This here is the Law of Attraction at work. I currently have no idea of my results but I will trust in the LOA to bring what I have asked for.
Finally the be all and end all of this process. I take time to thank the universe/God/the Divine/Allah/Buddah/my greater self for the opportunity I've had.
When I sat and thought, already so many things have happened for me, all the wants I've said and have received, all of the things I've been given and helped to achieve that I should be grateful. I would never be waiting for this Media result if I hadn't been allowed in college, I would never have got into college if it wasn't for what I learnt at Sixth Form and without those all important GCSE's I would never have got into Sixth Form.
So look at that big list of things to be grateful for, all that to attract this one result. What I want you to do is say what you want for example -
"I want the job of my dreams"
-now from that want, think of what you already have and allow yourself to be thankful for it. For the above example it could be-
"Thank you for my current job"
"Thank you for the people at my job"
"Thank you for the interviews I've had"
"Thank you for my experience"
"Thank you for the support I've been give"
"Thank you for helping me try"
Just about anything and everything that you can be grateful for think it and thank. Thank, thank, thank because I want does get. But I want doesn't get is a term mainly told to spoilt brats, the difference between a spoilt brat and someone who gets what they want is gratitude.

Trust in the LOA
Today yet another miracle was at work. I am currently trying to set up my own business where you can pay for me to coach you to use the Law of Attraction. The website will give you access to a free ebook which will explain the basics about accessing the genie with in the lamp of your life. Myself and my girlfriend were looking for places to print good business cards for a reasonable price and the best one we found was vista print.
Now vista print looked great, but even at the price of £20 per 1000 cards it seemed a little bit out of my depth a first.
But not to worry! The law of attraction was in action! When I arrived back at my girlfriends house she had a parcel that had come in the post from Amazon, upon opening the parcel below and behold there it was; a voucher from Vista print, ready to take 90% of that price down. I was baffled and amazed and filled up with a sense of great gratitude.
This Law of Attraction thing really works. Starting to believe in it makes you question how surreal life really is? Have we been living in a reality that is way too normal? Sadly some don't believe in the Law and this brings chances of it working for you down to zero.
Don't be one of those people! Trust in the law of attraction and watch this space for the FREE ebook and my website coming very soon.

Daily lists of Attraction
Today was another wonderful day! Remember that goal I set on my first post? For those of you who are new that was basically that I wanted my new film to get 100,000 views over the internet (although more are welcome I really don't mind) well the movie hasn't been posted yet however there have been a few mini things that I've attracted to help it run smoothly and market it.
First of all I took a trip to Wasall to do some shooting with an old friend of mine. We got to use his camera and he used his editing skills on our teaser trailer which I thought my first aim should be to attract merely 200 views to this trailer within the first week. We got 234 in the first three days of it being up which satisfied me but then the view count just stopped going up and I realised that I'd been silly and only asked for 200 views.
I mean I attracted and that's fantastic but why didn't I just try asking for 1000 views, so today I am going to make myself a daily attraction list. What is this?
Well to sum it up, I'm going to write 5 things to attract per day, just silly little things like today I want an ice cream or today I want to meet someone and put a smile on their face. I will do my best to attract 5 things a day and have an overall goal for the end of the month. Why don't you try joining me? Get a note book and, in the words of Joe Vitale, dare something worthy.
My goal for the end of the month is to attract over 1000 views for my teaser trailer. So come on, together lets aim to attract the best, 5 things a day and make sure they're mostly in your reach.
At the start of this post I explained that several different things have already been helping my goal to be attracted towards me. For instance every day has been a sunny one and ran fairly smoothly, there have been only 2 or 3 bumpy spots (we lost the glasses my character wears and so there I was getting only slightly stressed by the whole thing) but guess what? My Dad had some glasses we could borrow that filled the shoes of the old ones perfectly so there was no need to panic and just more things to be grateful for.
Today I met a bunch of inspirational and lovely people. I believe that in some way all of us are inspirational, we just need to tap into the best side of others. Once you see how amazing life is life becomes amazing. This project has been the smoothest I've ever run and I have confidence that it will be as successful as I intend it to be. Sure my friend may have tripped over and destroyed some of my sound equipment but this just made me realise I need a new camera so I've put an order in with the Law of Attraction and expect it to arrive anytime now.
So lets get some daily attractions in and have funning using that amazing force of the universe, the law of attraction.
