Irony Or the Law of Attraction? Lessons From Spitzer’s Spotlight

Many have commented that the former New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer – aka “Mr. Clean” – who resigned after his involvement with a high priced call girl became public last month, is ironic.

That’s not irony.

That’s law of attraction.

Apparently Mr. Spitzer had a reputation for high ethics and was known as “Mr. Morality.” Just a few years ago he took part in an investigation of a New York City escort service that led to the arrest of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution. As a politician he practically made ethics his calling card.

What we resist, persists.

Anyone remember Oprah’s Child Predator Campaign? And how she recently discovered the head mistress of her girls’ school was charged with several counts of sexual abuse?

Yeah, it just doesn’t work that way.

My dad’s currently engaged in a battle with a raccoon. You know when it started? After he vehemently told me I was crazy to think I wanted raccoons at my new house. (I shared with him that I hoped there were raccoons in my new neighborhood.) I argued I DID want raccoons. And mice too.

He assured me no one in their right mind wants a raccoon around, and listed all the reasons. Just a few days later he phoned to say he discovered a raccoon eating his bird food.

What we fight against, we add energy to. We draw into our lives.

Which is exactly why I took down the hornet traps that were left here at the new house, and told the little fly right before I helped him escape a curious cat at the screen window to spread the word that there was a new sheriff in town. I’m vibrating friends with hornets – we’ll live and let live. No battles here because I know how those turn out.

To give dad credit, I think he’s actually having fun trying to outsmart the raccoon. (Although I doubt Eliot and Oprah would chalk their experiences up to fun.)

The key for us to recognize that whatever we focus on we draw into our lives. So we would do well to watch where we point that thing.
