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!

It's not your problem!

Do you believe that what goes arounds comes around? Do you judge people by their actions and never forgive and forget? Has someone ever hurt you so bad that you are angry with them and just don't want to know them anymore? Maybe you tried your own form of revenge or chose to give someone a "taste of their own medicine? 

What about bullies? People at school/work who go out of their way to make your life miserable, people who just love to call you names and manipulate you to feel negative emotions. We all have to have these kinds of humans in our life but it is how we react to them that matters. For instance, if you're called fat by someone and that hurts, it's only hurting because you allow make you see their views and somehow agree with them. 

It's either that or the pure principle that someone would say that. these people go out of their way to make your life a living hell, pushing your boundries forever treating you badly and you are naturally hurt, angry or upset by this and start telling others about how one person said this and another did this and you're forgetting that while the saying "sticks ad stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" may be true, you're making what they say come true by giving these people the time of day. 

If they want to try and hurt you, then that's their problem. What if I told you that it really doesn't matter what they think or how they treat you, at the end of the day that is THEIR problem. Think right now, if a person treated you like dirt would you automatically treat them like dirt? If they did something would you try and emulate what they did in some form or way just to prove a point? 

I know that most of you would because I can honestly admit without thinking twice I would. The beauty of it is, is that unlike others you've read this blog and now you're fully prepared for these people, I'm about to offer you a way of thinking that will make you smile when these people try and ridicule and upset you, it will put you straight ahead of the other person and you will always come out of these experiences with the better life. 

Think about it this way; when they mock you, or focus their energy on trying to bring you down, or just generally treat you un-politely, they are sending these thoughts out to the universe and only attracting a life that is either awful or only good enough, these people just can't see the good side of their life so they take it out on you and the rest of the population and that truly is their problem. 

Now when you stop for a moment and look at the situation like that you see that no matter what they do or how they treat you, you must not repeat how they treat or talk of them badly. Don't even think of them badly because when you think of them badly the negativity goes to the law of attraction and starts to work against you. 

We're all human beings living alongside each other and we choose how we feel about things, if you're angry stop for a moment and think about how that hinders you and just favours them. Stop and realise that these people are merely humans with the problem, don't make their problem yours, because you deserve the best life possible. Live it to the full and allow other people to live with their problems but don't become one your self.

The Law of Attraction at work!

Today, I felt the full flow of the Law of Attraction. Several things have happened in the past few days that have allowed me to live an easy and very positive life, I feel this will be one of many. For starters I needed the whether to be sunny so I asked the Law of Attraction for a sunny day; well it was most certainly bright and hot because my nose is now red raw with sun burn (no worries though it doesn't hurt).

Making short films is a hobby of mine and in the past before I learnt of the Law of Attraction in full detail, things would either be a fluke or go fantastically bad. I had to do everything on a whim and pay out a heck of a lot to maintain the quality of production in my films and not just this there was often a clash between cast and crew members and many arguments ensued.

Today however things ran smoothly from the start, the cast arrived bright and early giving us a chance to rehearse lines and get ready to head to the first location, upon getting to the location we found that the corn that was once in the field had been cut nicely to make the effect that we needed, probably the best part of today was when we arrived at the second location where we realised that we'd most likely have to rush the scene due to the fact we could only just afford a two hour ticket, we were struggling to find money to even pay the £2.50 at all and so I thought to the Law of Attraction I want to be able to pay for our parking. 

After fishing through all of our pockets we managed to muster up the change but this isn't the most magical part because just after I head out to pay for the ticket, a nearby visiter claimed they had accident paid for a day ticket and they were leaving, the offered to us that we could take it and use it instead of paying. Thanking the woman and the universe we stuck the ticket in my car and had the entire day to shoot one of the most important scenes. 

This in itself fills me with inspiration and happiness, I really feel happy for what the universe has done for me and what I have received, certain negative moments of the day didn't matter due to the fact I just put it down to learning and asked the Law of Attraction to put it right for me. 

In all I've already got a lot of what I wanted, the new teaser trailer to my film has been released and already grossed 200 views in the last day, what a fantastic beginning to this film and a brilliant inspirational set of positivity that has already been showered upon it, 

Here's to the other filming days, thank you one and all for reading this blog, thank you universe for everything that you do, thank you for the inspiration other directors and writers and giving me, thanks for allowing me to discover something I have so much passion for, I must say I just thank everything with all of my heart. 

Method to this Madness

The first time I met my car I asked it what it's name was, it told me that it's name (like all cars) is the last three letters in the licence plate, therefore my cars name is WUT, however she told me she likes to be called Wiley and since then we formed a fantastic partnership, I've been in a few sticks in the three months that we've been on the road together but each time we've come out of it raring to go and full of confidence.

I can imagine you are all thinking that I'm crazy, what is this? You're talking to an object! A machine! Are you mad? 

In all honesty one could argue I'm a little loopy for doing this, for talking to my car and acting almost as if it were a living person with it's own personality. But I ask you not to judge me just yet, because there is a reason for this so called "madness" and I will be delighted to explain myself and hopefully I can convince you that talking to items and objects will help your life immensely.

One thing that we need in using the Law of Attraction is gratitude. Thinking about the positives that we currently have in our lives and actually focusing on them, feeling grateful and soaking up how fantastic our current situation truly is allows us to be thankful about it and being thankful, feeling gratitude, convinces the Law of Attraction to give us more things that we can be thankful for.

Now, you're probably wondering what exactly this has to do with me talking to my car? Well the truth is, when I talk to my car and imagine that my car is a real living person, I have something to direct my gratitude towards, if I'm going along a road and the sat nav tells me to turn left a little too late and instantly I'm spinning my wheel, almost skidding around the corner and juddering like mad but do I stall? No. Because I was grateful to the car, I treat it as my partner, helping me arrive from one place to another.

With this sense of partnership, I'm using another part of the Law of Attraction; when you think dominant thoughts you get the vibe of that thought right back, the twin of the thought is the emotion that you are feeling, when I'm feeling happy or glad or relieved with my car its sending out that signal to the Law of Attraction which will automatically give me more good times in my car and keep my car running a lot longer than it would normally; just acknowledging the car and sending it feelings of happiness and gratitude help make my driving life more fun and pleasurable.

So why don't you try it? Try talking to your toothbrush in your head when you brush your teeth, thank it for the great job it's doing. Or in your head tell the kettle that its doing a great job boiling that water or tell your that it tastes really nice and you're so thankful to it.

You might feel a little odd at first, but once you start to appreciate your environment and every little detail of this lovely planet we live on your reality begins to shape into a fantastically positive one! Remember feeling mad can be justified if there is a method to it (an extremely positive one!)
