Dolan's Law

Advertisements are ubiquitous, all around us. They are insidious. And most people think they are immune. Not so. How do you spell relief?
Plop-plop ______ _____.
Coke, it’s the _____ thing.
If you said R-o-l-a-i-d-s, fizz-fizz, and real, the advertising succeeded. You’re correct. You’re normal. And you’re not immune to the effects of advertising. I am researching this topic right now for a presentation in August, called “Verbal Impact: Can Words Hurt You?” It’s going to be fantastic, insightful and dynamic. U biq ui tous means seeming to be everywhere at the same time; omnipresent. Ubiquitous is the adjective form of ubiquity, existence everywhere at the same time, from New Latin, “everywhere.”

Commercials do influence us. They mostly convice that we are not complete or happy unless and until we buy whatever it is that they are selling. But popular songs also promote a certain point of view and influence large groups of people.

This morning I was listening to the radio, and I heard “You had a bad day!” Then I heard the news. Now I’m in a bad mood, contemplating my bad day, which hasn’t even happened yet.

Bad Day
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day

What is this song about? What is meant by “carrying on?” It is a deceptively negative song. It is not full of catastrophes, just clichés about hitting a new low, being off line, and losing the magic.

What a bummer.

I hate to hear this song in the morning!

Which song is about hitting a new high, being on line, and spreading the magic?

I don’t want to influence my life negatively. I have to say many affirmations after I hear this. After all, Good things happen to me every single day. I lead a charmed life! I am very fortunate. Everything good that can happen, will. This is the opposite of Murphy’s law, let’s call it Dolan’s Law. That’s my maiden name, actually my father’s last name. But it’s short, easy to spell, and Irish, like Murphy. Dolan’s Law can be the opposite of Murphy’s Law.

So if you believe in the law of attraction, which law mentioned above is it better to focus on?
