We have all seen or at least heard of the movie "the Secret". We have all heard of the Law of Attraction. But are we really making it work for ourselves personally? Are we living the life of abundance the movie promises us? Well, it is not really as easy as the movie makes it out to be. It's just a matter of changing our thought processes, but after living our whole lives to this point thinking one way, it's not so easy to do an about face and think in accordance with the Law of Attraction. But that does not mean it's not possible. Don't give up. Continue every day imagining the life of your dreams and the universe will unfold in your favor when the time is right. But you must believe to the bottom of your soul that it is possible.

For thousands of years, humans have been led to believe that they are spiritually poor beings and that they need salvation through church. The truth is we don't need a church or minister to tell us what to do or how to be. We only need ourselves. Listen to your own inner being. Do not let your friends, spouse or co-workers guide your life. Within each one of us lies our true inner being. Just be still and listen. And do you know who that inner being is? It's god. That's right, God resides within each and every one of us. As a matter of fact, we are God. We came from God and we'll go back to God. We are living these lives on earth so we can experience the negative aspects of planet earth and humanity. But our goal is to overcome the negativity. Our goal is to live joyous lives in spite of the horrid stories being pounded into us on the evening news. Turn off the television, do not let the negativity affect you. Learn to focus on the things that make you happy. The news is not going to change, but you can. Will it help the people having bad experiences highlighted on the news for us to watch and feel badly for them? No. It only brings us down. If we want to contribute to the overall uplifting of humanity we have to uplift ourselves. We must become joyous in our everyday lives. We can and will overcome the negative aspects of our lives in spite of the outside world. By loving ourselves, we become more capable of loving others.

Many of the speakers featured on "The Secret" have more to teach us about the Law of Attraction. Joe Vitale, Jon Assaraf, Bob Proctor among others. Each of them has books and/or websites that expand on the law. Find one that is right for you. Continue to educate yourself. Using the Law of Attraction in our everyday lives is paramount to making it work. But the key is never, never, never give up. Continue to visualize your hopes and dreams until they become a part of you. Even if it takes a while, feel the joy now. Learn to live with joy in your life every day. Develop laugh lines. Find the humor in all things. Even things that seem tragic can be uplifting, growing experiences.

A common and effective way to help transform your way of thinking is find a good set of law of attraction cd's and play them in your car on the way to work. Turn off the news radio and listen to them every day. When you get sick of them, find some different ones. Jerry and Esther Hicks have several fabulous books and cd's to make your journey through the Law of Attraction easier and more understandable. You can do this. Anybody can. Learn it and teach it to your children. Not everybody in your life will understand, but that's okay. If it makes you feel good then go ahead and do it. Louise Hay has made a movie called "You Can Heal Your Life, The Movie". It's wonderful. It's the same story told in a different, beautiful way. It features some of the same people featured in "The Secret". It's all about changing your thoughts and in doing so changing your life. At the very least it will make you feel better on a daily basis. Keep telling yourself how great you are. Repeat it over and over. Write it on the mirror that you look into to get ready each morning. Look yourself in the eye and tell yourself "I love you". You are a beautiful, fabulous, glorious eternal being from god. Remind yourself everyday. When someone brings you down (and they will) find a way to bring yourself back up. Concentrate on the thoughts that feel good. Replace the negative feelings with thoughts that can bring a smile to your face. People will begin to wonder what you're always smiling about. The more joy you feel, the more joy will be attracted into your life. The more prosperity you feel the more prosperity will be attracted into your life. The more love you feel, the more love will be attracted into your life. That is the Law of Attraction.
