Is the Law of Attraction Working For or Against You?
BySimply finding and deciphering all the pieces to the Internet marketing success puzzle is quite a challenge. Besides the fact that there is a LOT to know, there is also plenty of worthless information out there. Filtering and categorizing all the knowledge is no easy feat. Reading about list building is one thing; implementing a profitable list building strategy is another.
Likewise, studying PayPerClick is much easier than enjoying anything greater than a negative Return-On-Investment with AdWords. …and so on. OK. You know reading and studying won’t cut it. You must take action of course. But WHERE do you focus your action? How do you know what action to take?
Your time is limited. You probably have a full-time job in the beginning. I’ve already told you how important Relentless Focused Action is. I’m sure you believe in and understand the concept wholly. But action is wasted effort unless you KNOW where to focus it!
Where to focus IS the sixty-four thousand dollar question of course. Allow me to veer off the path here a bit and help you in a way you may or may not subscribe to at the moment. If you do not yet embrace the theory of “The Law of Attraction”, I suggest you consider the following:
The Law of Attraction will guide your focus and efforts for you. Instead of fretting and stewing about what to do or how to do it, there is an easier way! Honestly, I am not going Zen-do on you. I am the most logical and scientific thinker there is, but there is more to this world than logic or science can sometime explain.
The Law of Attraction won’t do your work for you. You still must offer up the blood, sweat, and sometimes tears. The Law of Attraction simply helps you choose the correct road out of the thousands of possible dead-ends.
Here’s how to tap the Law of Attraction: First you must limit these kinds of thoughts:
“I don’t like what I do.”
“I never have enough time.”
“I’m always tired.”
“I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck.”
“I worry about how long my old car will last.”
“I can’t afford the health insurance I need.”
“My retirement account is not enough.”
It’s likely your list goes on and on…
The Law of Attraction states that our thoughts direct our lives. Just thinking how much you hate living “paycheck to paycheck” all but insures “paycheck to paycheck” is how you will continue living.
The negative energy of those thoughts perpetuates that way of life. Instead, notice when those negative thoughts begin and replace them with outcome based positive ones. For example, instead of “wanting to quit your job”, imagine working for yourself.
The Law of Attraction’s power is leveraged by imagining self-employment instead of fretting about your current boss. But we’re not finished yet putting the Law of Attraction to work. We can fine tune it further. The process is much more powerful if you focus on not just “what” you want, but also WHY you want it.
For example, instead of only imagining a larger bank account, focus on how your life will change with more income. Think of the peace of mind it will bring, the ability to travel, how it will feel to pay off all the bills, the satisfaction of giving to charity, etc.
Thoughts of those outcomes will create the mind set required to achieve them; it’s just that simple! Actively try this technique for a few months and see for yourself how things begin falling into place for you. Your road becomes clearer! It rather amazing how well it works!
Ah yes, The Law Of Attraction. Lucas Boyce, foster kid, son of a prostitute on drugs, declared three goals when he graduated from high school: Work at the White House, Fly on Air Force One and work for the Orlando Magic. Now in his early thirties, he is Living Proof, as his book is called, that is can happen. So we think, gee, just make a declaration and it will happen…..and when years later we are still waiting, still saying our positive affirmations, looking at our Vision Board filled with all the Stuff we want…….we wonder, “What is wrong with me!” In fact, so many thousands are disgruntled and feel left at the alter of Law of Attraction that Bob Proctor has come up with 11Forgotten Laws to swage people’s regret and being a failure in the attraction factor.
What Lucas had was CONVICTION that it was possible, plus taking action, equalled bringing circumstances into his life and, by being his authentic self, that allowed it to actually happen. Our subconscious drives the bus not our conscious mind. Conviction lies in your subconscious – what you really believe about yourself and whether or not you believe you deserve to have your dreams come true. What you see that you have in your outer world is what you believe about yourself in your subconscious – prosperous? poor? in a relationship? alone? Take an honest look at: What do you value about yourself? What are your Talents and your Abilities and using those, what Gifts do you give the world by expressing who you are? It is NOT, “Seeing is believing.” It really is, “Believing is seeing.”
To do that, it is a matter of aligning with your feelings – all feelings are is information to tell you what your next best step is. E – Motion – energy in motion. They are not a threat to our very being that we have to avoid or get rid of. Feelings – particularly – Not Good Enough, Insecurity – are there to give you vital information as to what is needed for you to know you are enough and what to do to be secure in who you are.
When you value who you are and when you take action, then you will begin to attract into your life people and circumstances to bring your goals to fruition.
I Wish a Colorful Journey. Marty
