One possible stumbling block you might encounter is the temptation to view the Law of Attraction as some mystical power greater than yourself. Do you often feel like you're "begging" the universe to deliver your desires? Do you worry that you're not "good enough" and your requests will be denied? Do you believe that you have to behave in a certain way for the universe to deem you worthy of what you want?
This kind of thinking can create big problems because it automatically disconnects you from your own inner power!
It's important to understand that the universe only mirrors back whatever you express to it:
- The universe is not withholding the things you want - YOU ARE!
- The universe is not blessing you with joy and abundance - YOU ARE!
- The universe isn't causing things to go wrong in your life - YOU ARE!
- The universe isn't forcing you to remain in difficult circumstances - YOU ARE!
- The universe isn't doubting your creative power - YOU ARE!
It ALL comes from within you, because YOU are the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction works according to your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and expectations! If you're not yet living the life you want to live, you're probably not putting out the right signal to bring it forth.
Which leads us to the million-dollar question: how do you use the Law of Attraction to stop experiencing the stuff you don't want, and begin attracting the stuff you DO want?
First, take some time to get clear about what you really want. Not what you think you can get; not what you're willing to settle for; not what other people have said you can have - but what YOU want! If you could create anything at all right now, what would it be? Write it down in minute detail.
Then, begin focusing on that quality or experience as often as you can - FROM the perspective of already having it. How would you feel if you already had exactly what you wanted? Here are a few possibilities: you might feel calm, content, happy, joyful, grateful, blessed, excited, or relieved. Several times a day, bring that quality or essence to mind and allow yourself to FEEL exactly as you would if you already had it. Imagine that you do have it, and get your positive emotions flowing as powerfully as you can! Let feelings of awe, joy, excitement, and gratitude take over your entire body. Let them flow over and through you until you're nearly buzzing with ecstasy!
Finally, begin shifting your attention away from things you don't want. This is easier said than done, granted. But it's SO necessary if you want to stop attracting more of it into your life! Learn how to detach emotionally from problems, upheavals and difficult people you encounter. In essence, try ignoring them as much as you can, even if you have to engage in some self-talk like this, "I'm not going to get upset because I choose to direct my energy toward more positive things." It will take practice, but eventually you'll be able to consciously CHOOSE where to flow your energy - toward the good stuff!
If you can do these three things on a consistent basis, you'll be blown away by the results! Miracles and opportunities will come flowing into your life in a great rush of joy - and you'll finally realize that YOU held the power all along. You didn't have to wait for someone or something else to decide the direction your life would go - you just needed to remember that YOU are the Law of Attraction.
I know, I know, it's hard to take in isn't it?
After all, like many people you've probably been pinning all your hopes on 'attracting' success and happiness and wealth into your life by thinking positive thoughts, by focusing on what you want from life and by 'intentioning' the life you want for yourself.
If you're a true believer in the 'Law' of Attraction you've probably also been practicing gratitude, telling yourself that 'thoughts become things' and reminding yourself as often as you can that you 'become what you think about'.
In short, you've been doing everything you're 'supposed' to do to activate the law of attraction but, well, where has it got you?
If you're healthier, wealthier, wiser and happier as a result then congratulations. You probably don't need to read on any further.
You've obviously found a way to make the law work in your life.
However, if you're like the bulk of people who follow the law of attraction philosophies and yet are still struggling to find the happiness, contentment and success you're seeking then read on because I'm about to reveal the REAL 'secret' to the law of attraction and show you how you can apply it in your life to achieve dramatic, often immediate results.
But before I do, let me tell you what the Law of attraction is NOT, that way you'll stop wasting your time and energies on things that don't produce results in your life.
The Law of Attraction is NOT:
You become what you think about.
I know, I know, I'm going against what practically every motivational and self help guru has been telling us for as long as we can remember.
In fact, I myself believed this until recently and often taught this principle to anybody and everybody who would listen. But I was wrong.
You DON'T become what you think about at all. If you did then most teenage boys would turn into pretty young girls!
A silly comparison I know, but no less silly than the idea that we really become what we think about.
There are many, many things we think about every day and some that we feel strongly and emotionally attached to but we don't become that thing.
What about 'Thoughts become things'? Right or wrong?
Well, in the truest physical and even metaphysical sense, thoughts are made of energy and energy is a 'thing' so I guess it's right, but that's not what most success gurus are talking about. They're telling us that by shaping a thought we can manifest that object into the real world and truly make the thought a thing.
Certainly, true of many things. We have ideas and, once we take action on them they 'manifest' in the sense that we build or create them either with our own hands or in factories.
BUT...
Not always.
In fact, not even often.
We have thousands of thoughts a day but they don't all turn into something in the way that Law of Attraction supporters tell us they will.
Why?
Because, what you think about is only a tiny, tiny portion of attraction.
Thoughts DON'T become things.
Thoughts, if thought often enough and with enough intensity, tend to become feelings... NOT things.
Feelings, if felt often enough and with enough intensity, tend to become emotions... NOT things.
Emotions, if felt often enough and with enough intensity, tend to drive us to take action. (E- Motion!)
And action, no matter how small, if taken consistently, allows you to BE, DO and HAVE.... Things!
It's no surprise that the law of attraction contains the word ACTION. Nor is it a surprising that the word satisfaction contains the word ACTION either (In fact, satisfaction literally means 'enough action')
The real power behind the 'secret' law of attraction is simply getting yourself to think the thoughts and feel the feelings that make you want to take action. You do this by following your dreams and pursuing the goals that you REALLY want to happen rather than those that others tell you are realistic.
In other words, you get them by getting your butt up off the couch and DOING SOMETHING about them rather than thinking about them. Not what most people want to hear, I know, but true nonetheless.
Test it out for yourself.
Try putting some action into your attraction strategy and see how much more successful you are.
