Like attracts like


For some strange reason I have a sudden desire to visit Bhurban, Muree, Nathia Gali or even living there permanently; huh! strange wishes I have these days. I also have few other crazy ideas which I would be working on in the coming days.

I somehow want to challenge myself, my comfort zones. I am re-organizing my law practice and to begin with I am re-doing my website. Yes surprisingly I have an official website dedicated to my legal work.

In 2008 when I first started my work I made my website, at that time it looked perfect because I did everything which every other law firm in the world has done. I bombarded it with lots of unnecessary information about my work as if I was giving a short course on my practice areas.

Even after hundreds of meetings, thousands of promotion letters /brochures nothing significant happened.  I made this website, published book-like brochures, decorated my office with all the money I earned from my job as the legal advisor at a local securities brokerage house.

Struggling for 3 years and getting work occasionally I got frustrated and forgot about it all together.  Then there were people who always told me, that “you are never going to make it. It is a big bad world out there and as a God-fearing female you will never be able to fulfill those demands”.

Many voices told me to drop the idea all together, get a job at a good multinational and live a peaceful life.

So by the end of 2010 I left it all in a status quo position, followed my instincts learned reiki and alternative medicine.

Since 2004 till 2008 I use to maintain my personal diary in which I wrote every little detail of daily life, my thoughts about future, my fears my insecurities, my work and my personal life.
 
One day as I was going through my diaries I had the shock of my life as if someone has made me of stone. It struck me that everything which happened to me and my law practice between 2008 & 2009 was exactly the way I wrote in my diary. As if I was the script writer, the director and the heroine of my life. I designed the blue print of my future in blue and white.

In 2009 when I saw Secret, the movie and read New Earth new dimensions opened up; as if I woke up from deep slumber. I realized and still realizing that all my life I lived by my thoughts and emotions and whatever my mind told me about my life and people in it.

I am the living, breathing example of “Law of attraction” or the statement that “like attracts like”. Our persistent thoughts about anything will definitely manifest in some form in our lives. If you have loving peaceful thoughts or if you have negative fear based thoughts, the law is as definite as law of gravity. You are rich, poor, good or bad you will fall down from stairs, no exception. 

So after this waking up, the first thing I noticed is that my website was filled with clutter which in those days appeared to be highly informative for the audience. The first step is now to get rid of all the clutter both inside and outside.

I met a lady on Friday who out of the blue asked my about my profession. When I shared my story, she said "being a female it is enough if you have the courage to take such a big step on your own, don't give up hold on!". 

As I am removing all my mind-made obstacles and clutter I am now meeting people who are encouraging me & my efforts, guiding me the best way that they can.

I still have my goals but today more than achieving them I am enjoying the journey towards them. I don’t want to degrade this journey by making it a means to an end.

Cheers to our journeys!

Good Night!

Sonya. (Day 259)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...

3 January 2019

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

Magic or Miracles..continued

"Sadia Saleem   Another good one...ur blogs have always uplifted my spirits in some way, but this one being totally different gives us a small grasp at just how powerful our Almighty is...our praises are just a measurement of our faith in Him and our worships are a manifestation of that measurement...ur blog actually took me in d flashbacks and I remembered when we actually landed up at a babas astana for d sake of fun...at times those carefree days are deeply missed       keep up the best work    " This one is especially for my best friend Sadia who has always shown me her love, appreciation and encouragement. And of course, how can I forget all of you for always blessing me with your affections. Sadia and all of my Dear Readers, I thank you so much from my heart for responding so beautifully for my post “Miracles & Magic? I wonder…” .
