That is a good point you have made about being happy and conditions of happiness. We often think our happiness depends on circumstances but yes it doesn't have to. Although of course it's easier said than done sometimes! :) Hi Katrina, glad you got something out of the article! That is a good point you have made about being happy and conditions of happiness.

People like Guy Finley, Byron Katie, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Deepak Chopra demonstrate that pretty well. For example, Byron Katie has a degenerative eye issue that makes her nearly blind every morning and will eventually take the rest of her vision. She claims she enjoys and appreciates nearly every minute of it. That being said, people who have life plans that don't immediately involve attracting abundance in all arenas do have an option, like you said. Make lemonade out of lemons. Ask the universe for clarity, guidance, understanding, appreciation etc. Sometimes just knowing the universe/God/your guides are there to answer any question you have brings about the deepest sense of peace even when your external circumstances are going crazy. (Easier said than done sometimes). And it makes sense that we choose challenging life situations. How rich would a college education be if you took the easiest credits the whole time for straight A's? Not very. But challenging, frustrating classes where the highest expectations are imposed on you are often the most rewarding and insightful in the end. I could be wrong, but I assume the same goes for life on earth.

If they're not related to law of attraction then that makes me more inclined sit back and enjoy the ride a little more and stop worrying about it. (And trust divine order). I was in the middle of writing you in the "contact me" section asking if you would be able to make a blog about that topic to help other people wondering the same thing.... And then the title of this blog caught my eye on the side of the page and it ended up being exactly what I've wondered for soo long. (years). Thank you. :) I am a little creeped out because today I asked the universe to give me clarity on my question of relationships being luck, law of attraction, or destiny/fate/karma.

no shame in wanting things, that’s not what I’m saying — just make sure it is YOUR want.

And thanks for this article, Anna, it really formed questions in my head and in the end reinforced my beliefs along with the current discussion. I feel less adrift now.
