When we divert our attention from what we don’t want and focus on all the good we already have in our lives – magic happens. See the good—practice gratitude and make some magic today!
Can wearing “rose colored glasses” really change your life?
Everywhere you turn you hear people talking about being thankful, seeing the good in others and sending out loving thoughts.
We are told that when we focus on what we want rather than what we don’t, we create more of what we desire, meaning that “like attracts like.”
Is it all true though?
Scientific studies show that the greater the positive expectation we place upon people, children, students and employees to perform well, the higher the likelihood is that they will rise to the occasion and meet or exceed the expectation. Positive expectations between married partners results in happier marriages. This is known as the Pygmalion Effect.
It is also what we might call a “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
When you look at the lives of people who are negative, fearful by nature and focused on the “worst” happening all the time, you’ll notice that their lives seem bleak, monotonous, painful and challenging. They may even attract “accidents” and be embroiled in constant problems, difficulties and challenges due to their negatively charged thinking and emotions.
The negative tone of their thoughts and emotions acts like a “homing device” to attract and line up events and situations which resonate to the same expectation they are sending out.
You do become what you think about
Attune to the vibration of gratitude! Steep yourself in it and soon you will feel JOY flowing to you and through you!
Watch these two short videos to see how important it is to send out positivity with your words, deeds and actions.

Completely agree with your article, Angela! Personally, I prefer to be ‘stamped’ as naive and wear rose-colored glasses rather than live my life as a cynic. The law of attraction does work like magic if you know how to cultivate it in all your thoughts, actions, and your subconscious mind!
Hi Ashton,
Nice to meet you. I’d much rather see the world through a positive lens as well.
The law of attraction is modern day magic and works too. See what you want in life and you’ll surely get it.
Best,
Angela
This is so true Angela! I know some people that live their lives in negative thinking. Bad stuff just seems to happen to them spontaneously and without reason.
Little note of warning: if you hang out with people like that, it seems like you join their energetic vibration, and then bad stuff happens to you too – at least momentarily. Scary!
Hi Fred,
It is true, isn’t it? The people who are negative create so much negativity around them and in their lives. It’s really hard to be around that kind of vibration without it rubbing off on you. You’d have to be a saint not to be affected by it!
It is great to be constantly reminded about focusing on what we want instead of what we do not want. People may call it wearing rose-coloured glasses (which incidentally I own one) or whatever. It really does not matter because the evidence bears out. It is obvious that when we are happier and have happier thoughts, things happen magically.
Nonetheless, it is interesting that you mentioned about having positive expectations from children. I have been wondering if mine has been too high. Based on what you’ve just said, I should not feel guilty about having some expectations from my kids.
Hi Evelyn,
Being a parent is the hardest job of all. I never ventured there myself and can only respond based on my own experience of being a daughter. My parents expected a lot from me too especially since I was the eldest. If I didn’t meet their expectations I was shown disappointment, disapproval or punished in some way. I would say – and I’m sure you don’t do this – as long as they are not made to “unlovable” for not meeting your expectations it’s a good thing to have high expectations. Telling them they are smart and capable of doing whatever it is you expect is the right way to motivate them. If you believe they can do it – so will they.
Powerful visual of what we intuitively know! Wow!
Galen,
Yes, that’s why I was so impressed with the videos. I thought finally, I can back up what I saw with some visual proof!
After I saw them I said I will strive to make positivity my main “vibe!”
Angela,
The more I learn about the science behind the power of thinking the more able I am to start applying this to my life. Our mind has true power. The power to change our physical body, the power to actually rewired and change itself, and power to manifest our imagination into reality. I wonder where this type of research and science will take us in 30, 40, or 50 years from now?!
Hi Joe,
It’s wonderful to be able to apply it in our lives, isn’t it? When we see so dramatically how sounds creates it really puts things into perspective in our lives.
I too wonder where we’ll be with all this in 30, 40 or 50 years?
Thank you so much for visiting and commenting Joe. It’s always good to see you.
Thanks for posting these videos! I finally got around to seeing them tonight and was not surprised but amazed at the great visual he put together to demonstrate the effect sound frequencies have on physical form all around us and within us. Really great. I wonder if anyone will ever be able to create a measure for the frequencies of thoughts and also whether this is parallel to light waves. The color/light spectrum goes way beyond what humans can perceive, so I wonder if it has a similar impact on physical matter. In other words, he states the entire physical universe is created and maintained by sound, but could other frequencies impact it as well? Since my job involves listening to sound 8 hours a day in the form of doctor speak, I wonder whether this has reshaped and addled my brain? : )
HI Erin,
Yes, I found the videos amazing also. When ever I’ve heard that quote from the Bible, “In the beginning was the word…,” I always identified it with thoughts but, after watching the videos I wonder if we’ve all been misinterpreting that quote? So, it seems like the Universe was “spoken” into creation with sound waves. From what I’ve read our thoughts create a frequency that can be recorded and measured like sound. We know from EEG machines that the brain produces different rhythms that can be recorded. And that these EEG patterns have an electro magnetic resonance that travels much like a light wave or sound wave so I would have to say yes, that while we might be able to illustrate this most easily with sound waves our thoughts are creating our world too.
Hi Angela,
The videos were amazing. I agree that what we put out there comes back to us. When we expect a positive experience, that is what we receive. I plan on creating a little magic with my words today. Thanks for sharing.
Cathy,
I’m so glad you liked the videos. I too thought they were amazing. I feel they give proof to the adage that we do create our reality.
If we send out negativity our vibes will align themselves in negative patterns just as surely as the salt did in the videos.
I’m glad you’re going to create some magic with your words today!
Thank you Angela for reinforcing my belief. We bring on what we believe. I have recently learned that – the hard way.
Dawn,
You’re so welcome. I so happy that you found this post helpful to you.
I know you’ve had a rough time of it. Look for the “silver-lining,” it’s there and know it won’t last forever.
All my best to you,
Angela
We are mingling minds this week, Angela! This certainly bolsters the significance of the words and tone we are injecting into the atmosphere. We are constantly broadcasting forces of energy that can cause healing or dis-ease in the world. We must be willing to take it that seriously for our own well being and for universe at large.
Rob,
Yes, we are truly “mingling minds” this week. The positivity we inject into the world the better!
Did you watch the videos? I think they are perfect illustrations for how our vibrations create.
Every word we utter carries a vibration. We must be ever vigilant about our words, thoughts and deeds as they are creating the life we experience through their vibrations.
Thank you so much – I couldn’t think of a better mind to “mingle” with!
Fabulous…always great to see science prove the effects of positive vibrations. We know this is true. Great to see proof.
Angela, this is one of the best posts yet. I fully agree with you – I see this at work all the time, even in small things in life. I know there are those who advocate being “realistic” read pessimistic because life is full of ups and downs. But I prefer to wear those rose colored spectacles (not hard, since I am already visually challenged *wink*). I do believe that thinking positively, anticipating a positive outcome and expecting the best often results in good things. The best example I can think of is how we encourage children. Tell them they will succeed and their efforts are directed towards success. When we express doubt, it definitely reduces the impact of their effort.
Very very lovely post, Angela. My son, who’ll be 14 this month, also enjoyed this post 🙂
Hi Vidya,
I’m so glad your son enjoyed the post too. How marvelous!
He’s lucky to have you for a Mom.
I’ve always focused on the positive and I do think it has made all the difference in the world.
Thank you for your kind words about this post too!
Angela
Angela,
These videos are good reminders that often what we think about becomes our reality. We can create a positive, kind world by thinking it is true!
Alex
Hi Alex,
I thought the videos were amazing. The truly show how vibrations we emit form pattern.
If we spend out life creating negative vibration patterns – no wonder negative things befall us, right?
I love your attitude! I hope you’re doing well Alex.
Angela
Hi Angela,
Our thoughts sure are powerful…that’s for sure!!
And today…I’m grateful for you, and for the energy and love you bring into this world. Thank you, dear friend, for shining such amazing light…
Hi Lance,
Oh, how sweet of you! Thank you. I’m so grateful to have met you while traversing the “jungle of life” too!
I hope you’re doing well.
Angela
Hi Angela,
I am creating “magic” all the time. Thank you for sharing.
be good to yourself
David
Hi David,

I hope you’re having a marvelous weekend.
All my best,
Angela
