The universe loves me

Hey there ladies!

I promise that this post won’t be as long as the last one, haha! No worries about that!

The title of this post is probably intriguing to you if you’ve read my sciency post on spirituality/philosophy but I’ll just head right on to it and maybe you’ll like it anyway.

There’s a YouTuber that I follow who calls himself Davey Wavey. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him or watched him before but during my very dark second semester last year I found him on YouTube and latched onto his sense of positivity. He’s very new aged in his beliefs, more along the lines of The Secret if you’ve ever read it, and believes that what you put into the world will come back to you. He chooses to try to put as much positivity into the world as he can because he believes that it will come back to him.

I’ve got to say that, while it seems a bit spacey and out there at first, there are obvious ways in which it can be seen as true. One of the easiest ways to see this is in social psychology where they’ve seen that, when someone is told that the person they will be meeting is horrible before they meet them, both people rate the interact as decidedly tense while, when someone is told that the person they are going to be meeting is funny and friendly, both people say that they really enjoyed meeting and talking with the other person in the significant majority of cases. This is a case where someone who is inclined could see that, when someone brings negativity into the interaction via anticipation of a nasty interview, negativity is given back. The same can be said of the positive scenario.

It’s certainly an interesting idea and there are other ways it works, too. For example, in order to make any money on the stock market you have to buy a stock first; putting money out is the way to get money back. Of course, it is also likely that the stock market could crash and you would lose the value that you’d put into the market but the fact remains that you would not be gaining or losing anything if you weren’t putting some part of yourself into that arena.

Back to Davey, in one of his videos he talked about how he collects money he finds on the street in a little bowl in his house and how he views each bit he finds as a gift from the universe. I particularly enjoyed this talkyblog because I love finding money on the ground and love picking it up to! Most people in university, as I’ve discovered since being here, like to think that they’re somehow “above” picking money off the ground. I’m not quite sure whether the money I find is a gift from the universe but something happened today that made me reconsider.

You’ve all probably seen my “dream board” that I keep somewhere near my study area. It’s a bit of corkboard that I pin things that make me happy to and it, too, was inspired by that dark second semester of last year, Davey Wavey and needing a way to stay positive.

The literal first thing I put on there was a page from a magazine I ripped out last spring which featured this gorgeous man who happened to be a piano player who had just come out this a new album. I kept that page because I love classical music and the guy was, as I might have mentioned, gorgeous and I had the intension of looking into his music.

Fast forward almost a year and there I was this morning walking along outside on my campus and trying to find the arts undergraduate office when I see that same exact picture of the handsome piano player staring at me from a card wedged into the snow beside where I was walking.

I did a bit of a double take because it literally was the exactly same picture. It was on one of those little free download cards that you get at Starbucks. I now have one song from the gorgeous piano player via iTunes that I have played on repeat while writing this and I love it!

Weird how things work out, isn’t it?

I hope you ladies are having a lovely day even if it wasn’t surprisingly filled with drool-worthy musicians!

Ciao,

Dina
