The Law of Attraction

How To Get Everything You've Ever Wanted
WikiHow

You know how some days you just wake up in a bad mood, and then the rest of the day continually gets worse and worse as your mood gets more and more sour. There’s a reason for those sorts of days, and there is a way to change them. The Law of Attraction, to put it simply, is the idea that life will return whatever kind of energy you put out. It’s basically a fancier version of karma in the sense that you get what you give, except law of attraction focuses on energy. This means that we are responsible for every positive or negative influence in our lives, weather we realize it or not. It revolves around the idea that everything is connected to this greater power- what some people call the universe, others call source energy, and what it is most popularly known as- God. But the law of attraction, like most things, only becomes a religious matter if you turn it into one.
The voodoo-esque science behind the theory is that everything and everyone vibrates at a certain frequency. Things vibrating at similar frequencies are attracted to one another, i.e. positive vibes attract other positive vibes. These positive vibes don’t just mean being happier overall- but I mean who’s complaining about that?- it also means that the universe will give you the things that you ask for. For example, if you focus hard all week on getting a promotion and have a high frequency, you’re much more likely to get the promotion. Of course you’ll still have to do the work to get there, the universe isn’t a wish granting factory, but none-the-less you’ll still be promoted. So waking up unhappy and immediately deciding that your day will be crap means that the world will send you negative vibes until you change your attitude.
So how does one manifest these positive vibes? Mastering the law of attraction isn’t as easy as simply slapping on a fake smile; there are a few things you should do to raise your frequency and bring forth the good vibes. First, meditation. If you're one of those people who believe that meditation is a load of mumbo-jumbo nonsense, then you should seriously reconsider. Meditating strengthens and relaxes the mind, and even five minutes a day can seriously change the way you go about life. Another important part of attracting the kind of energy you want in your life is gratitude. Being consciously grateful for everything you have, even if it isn’t much, can make such a difference in your happiness. The last thing that can help you manifest good energy and take advantage of the law of attraction is trust. Trusting the universe to give you the things you need, not just what you want. With these life changes in mind, after a while you’ll be vibrating at a higher frequency and start being able to achieve more of the things that you’ve always wanted.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
