My diary for TREASURES by Milena Goleva

When I found my old school diary a week ago, I started flipping through it with great excitement and it magically took me on a magical journey through my memories. With such joy I remembered my classmates, the school, the "mischief", the thoughts that had passed through me. BUT…what I realized as I trepidatiously read my journal was that I had poured mostly unpleasant events and emotions into it… love disappointments, friendship betrayals, my inability to cope with anything… It was exciting to delve into myself from years ago, but I started to ask myself if I only had difficulties in my life then.

And if I look at this today through the lens of the Law of Attraction, I can clearly see the puzzle of problems that I have been putting together day after day… painstakingly and consistently.

The more we think, talk and experience problems, the more problems we attract into our lives.

I realized clearly that what was most vividly imprinted in my mind and what I poured out in my beloved diary were mainly the difficulties I faced. Was there only difficulty in the puzzle of my life during that period? Or am I just choosing to notice only the problems? Were my problems that "grand" or did I feed them with the attention I gave them? Aren't we giving too much importance to the problems instead of yes WE CHOOSE to enjoy the "treasures", which are in the puzzle of our lives? Yes...in the puzzle of each one of us's lives there are beautiful and not so beautiful elements.

The more we notice, and thank, and tell, and write about the pleasant things, events, experiences, inspirations, the more pleasant things, events, inspirations will come into our lives. By directing our attention to something, we invite more of it through our thoughts and emotions. We ourselves are the ones who CHOOSE what to invite...we ourselves put together the puzzle of our own lives. And it depends only on us whether this puzzle will be neat, colorful and sunny.

That same day, I went to the bookstore and bought the most beautiful notebook.

I made it my TREASURE journal!

And I decided to record ONLY the wonderful things of my day in it. Now, at the end of each of my days, I get alone with my journal and start "looking" for the good, joyful moments I've been lucky enough to experience. Every little "miracle", every spontaneous smile, every beautiful gesture, kind word, inspiration are real TREASURES. And when one day, years from now, I find my diary, I would like it to bring me back to the miracles I was lucky enough to experience. I would like to make a little treasure, a library of "wonders" journal by journal.

And you? Did you go to the bookstore?
