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.
