\"\"<\/a>I\u2019m still reeling from the horrific shooting in the movie theater and still cry when I think about it. It\u2019s scary to know how one person can ruin so many lives. Even more disturbing is why a seemingly normal person would spend so much money buying weapons and so much time planning to kill innocent people. We\u2019re living in a world where terrorism is a scary backdrop, which I wrote about in my Law of Attraction in Action: Terrorism post<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 That\u2019s scary enough! But now people are getting scared to go to the movies because of individuals with a grudge!<\/p>\n

Shootings now happen in malls, post offices, the workplace, etc. It\u2019s not just terrorism that unnerves people. One crazy person can ruin many people\u2019s lives. Our world is changing. We no longer live in a time where we can feel completely safe anywhere. It can make you paranoid and the worry can put a dark cloud over doing fun activities. People are hesitant to go to the movies. Should we just stay inside and try to avoid any chance of encountering a dangerous situation? NO WAY!<\/p>\n

Feeling this way attracts problems, and ruins your pleasure in life. Every fear, doubt, concern, worry you have tells the Universe you don\u2019t trust that you\u2019ll be safe.<\/p>\n

You attract what your vibration attracts. When you walk around with fear and worry, you cancel out the joy that attracts good stuff. When you expect to be safe, you’re likely to stay safe. The kinds of things going on will unfortunately probably continue to happen. But, they don\u2019t have to happen to you. When I go on a plane, I know the flight will get me to my destination in a good way. I may go to the movies this week if I can find the time but have no fear that something bad will happen to me.<\/p>\n

Fear attracts things to be scared of, if only in your mind, and keeps you from having the kind of pleasure you could if your faith was stronger. Faith in your safety keeps your life going on a positive path. Don\u2019t let these tragic incidents stop you from going where you want! After all, if you stay away from doing things you\u00a0 enjoy, is that really living? Trust that you\u2019ll be safe\u2014with all your heart. Let faith rule your heart and your actions!<\/p>\n

We need to keep hope for a better world alive!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I pray for the souls of those who lost their lives when they just wanted to see Batman. And I send strong prayers to those recovering from being shot. Please join me in sending prayers to everyone who was in the theater. Even those who weren\u2019t shot were deeply wounded. We need to support them with our hearts. Spread the word!

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3405"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3408,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3405\/revisions\/3408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
