The Basics of the Law of Attraction :-)

Good day. I hope you are all having a great day. From tooday I wanted start a series of discussion and to really get into the basics of how I used the Law of Attraction to help with goal setting and success focus. I want to clarify again this is how I USED IT, because again I am by no means an "Expert" on the topic which is the whole point of this blog. I think we can learn from each others every day, real life experiences.

For those of you who are new to the Law of Attraction let me give a brief description of how I understand it to be. Just like gravity, and thermodynamics the law of attraction is a fundamental universal law. Not knowing it or understanding it or studying it and becoming an expert in it has nothing to do with believing or not believing it. The most common thing I heard from my own family is that "I don't believe in it." Well that  is great for you, but saying I don't believe in electricity does not mean that if I stick a metal rod into those 2 tinny holes in the wall of my kitchen I won't get shocked or killed. 

So lets focus on the positive. Law of Attraction states that what ever you concentrate on, you will bring about into your reality. It is said in terms of "like attracts like". That terminology though had me a bit confused because in magnetism like repels like. And we all have heard how "opposites attract". But the key is that what ever you are concentrating on that evokes an emotion, positive or negative, will be created in your reality. You can use it or go about being a victim of it by default.

That is at first a bit scary because it forces us to take responsibility for the way our life is now. That is a great point of focus that Jack Canfield mentions in every one of his seminars and books. Again just because it scares us does not mean by ignoring it we can avoid it. Most people in fact are going around by default when it comes to the law of attraction. The first think I asked when I heard this is "if we can create our future by what we concentrate on then why is there so much pain in the world? or does the child ask to be born with Cancer?" Those are very tough questions. I don't pretend to have an answer but let examine the law together and see if it makes sense. Through out the world we are bombarded by different forms of media and news. Is most of that new positive? I wish I could say yes, but the fact is that good news does not get much attention. So when all of our waking life is spent concentrating, in most cases unconsciously,  to negativity is there any question why there is so much pain?

When I heard about the earthquake in Haiti, I wondered if there was a concentration of publicity on some natural disaster around the world just prior to the earthquake? Some thing to think about.

There is good news however. By the fact that you are now learning and concentrating on this you can filter what you see and what you actually PAY ATTENTION TO.
