The Other Shoe Doesn’t Have To Fall

Unless you choose for it to

Some people believe very strongly that they are followed, no, chased by bad luck. You have heard it before. “If it weren’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

“Bad things always happen in threes. I have had two bad things happen already today and it isn’t even noon yet. Wonder what and when the next bad luck will occur.”

So, you spend the time from then on, looking for the third piece of bad luck to strike you. Or, “Waiting for the other shoe to fall.”

Let’s go back to the Universal Law of Attraction. What you put into life is exactly what you get back out of life. Put in thoughts of gloom and doom and you are doomed to be surrounded by naysayers and negativity.

Insert thoughts of joy, happiness, and success, and joy, happiness, and success appear in your life, as if by magic.

So, when you are knocked for a loop of any kind and are looking for the “Other shoe to fall,” duck! Because it will. And another, and another… until you have had enough.

Enough of feeling like you are the victim just because things do not always go your way.

Do you remember when much Sunday entertainment was reading the Comic Section from the Sunday newspapers? Where Al Capp penned Li’l Abner? Li’l Abner had a character, Joe Btfsplk, who was featured many times.

Wikipedia describes Joe as “The hapless Btfsplk means well, but he is “the world’s worst jinx” and brings disastrous misfortune to everyone around him. A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over his head to symbolize his bad luck.”

Most probably either know a Joe Btfsplk or are Joe. Haven’t you known someone who would regularly say something similar to “I just seem to be chased by this black cloud?”

Going back to an old farm phrase, because of The Law of Attraction, we reap what we sow. If you choose to think and act positively, you will attract other positive thinkers and actors.

If you choose to think and act negatively, you are going to have to borrow Joe Btfsplk’s black cloud because some stormy people are heading into your life.

The next time that something happens that you wish hadn’t don’t wonder when the other shoe will fall, do something positive and break this miserable chain of events and tell Joe Btfsplk “Bye, bye.”

The other show doesn’t have to fall if you catch it first. The choice is yours so choose wisely!

Thank you, God!
