Good day and I hope you are having a great week. Today I am
re-visiting some basic principles that will help you make the most of using
this thing we call The Law of Attraction (LOA).
I say basic principles because they are well known and are core principles
to the working of this universal law, however by no means does the word basic
mean that they are easily understood or used properly by everyone.
You have perhaps heard that, to be able to use The Law of
Attraction successfully you need to know and ask for what you want. When I talk
to people around the world, in my workshops, and training groups, it is amazing
how little people really know about what they want. It seems like a simple
question right? Try this for an exercise, write down 20 things you really want.
Do it right now. I will wait. Do it and then come back to this post. It is well
worth it.
Are you done? Did you even do the exercise or did you just
said oh yeah I know that stuff let’s just see what he is saying next. I was like you. I used to speed through the
blogs, and teachings, hungering for
knowledge and tools to get going with the LOA.
I DON’T BLAME YOU. I just want to point out that knowledge is NOT
necessarily power. More knowledge will not get you there quicker unless you
understand and PRACTICE the knowledge and can put it into action. Reading about
something without actually practicing the principles will give you very little
to no results. That’s right. You heard me right. I am talking about zero
results. So go and do the exercise.
Write down 20 things you want. Thanks.
Ok, now I am hoping most of you have done this. I can only
lead you to water, I cannot make you drink it. What you want to gain from this
post, and how much benefit you will receive is directly proportional to the
amount of effort you put into doing what I ask you to do.
If you are like most people the first 10 to 15 things came
easily and then you had to really think. That is good. You should do this at least once a month. Now
go through your list and see how many of the things you wrote about are
actually things that you DO NOT WANT TO HAVE IN YOUR LIFE. Do you have any of those, “I don’t want to
have any more credit card bills, I don’t want to be sick, I don’t want to work
at blank, I don’t want to have a
mortgage, I don’t want the car I drive”…?
It is so natural for most adults to go to the things we don’t
want when asked about what we want. It is a part of our cultural conditioning.
All the negativity and gossip you are bombarded with on a daily bases for the past
decade or so of your life has programmed you this way. I am trying to shine a
light and make you take notice of this habit. Whenever you write your goals or things you
want, make absolutely sure you are writing about what you want and not what you
do not want.
Recently I did a goal setting and vision board workshop for a group of 3rd
to 8th graders. What
surprised me the most was that unlike the adults that I work with, when I asked
them what they wanted, not a single one of them told me things they don’t want
or can’t have. How cool is that? Somewhere between early adolescent and
adulthood we get lost in the negativity of our world. The good news is that even
though that sneaked up on you, you can now do something about it and change it. Don’t be
too hard on yourself on this. It did not happen to you over night and it will also
take some time to change the way you think.
Recognition is a huge part of this process. Success is a journey. Learning to concentrate on what you want positively
in the present moment is a huge part of making the Law of Attraction work for
you. Remember when you are concentrating
on “NOT HAVING___” BLANK, you are actually sending the vibration of attracting
more of the Blank into your life. What you are giving your attention is brought
into your reality, because what you concentrate on is what comes back. Think of
it like a mirror, if you frown you will see a frown in front of you. If you
smile there is a
smile looking back at you.
I hope this was helpful. Please pass this along and share
this blog and its posts with anyone who can benefit. I also would love to hear what
you think, and weather this is useful or not on my Facebook page and Twitterfeed. Until next week, have a great time practicing what you want and to your
success.
