The Law of Attraction

The answer to the question “what makes one happy” has as many answers as there are people in the world.  For one, happiness may be enjoying a juicy steak.  For another, happiness may involve becoming wealthy and taking control of their life. 

For yet a third, happiness may only be attainable with the love of a perfect mate.  Yet, no matter what your definition of happiness, the Law of Attraction is the perfect tool for manifesting the conditions in your life that will allow you to obtain your happiness.

Before you can work towards attracting happiness into yourself, you need to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror.  What makes you tick?  What really makes you happy?  What do you enjoy, and what do you not enjoy?  What do you feel would make you happy?  Would that be temporary happiness, or long-term happiness?  What would it take to be happy all of the time?

When you can answer even a few of those questions, you are ready to begin working on your visualization exercises.  Find some concrete answers to what will make you happy and begin working to manifest them.  Be it finding a mate, finding a car, or finding a lost bag of potato chips, work on attracting things to you that you believe will make you happy.

Don’t be discouraged if you find that upon receiving your desires after they manifest, you still are not happy yet.  “What makes me happy” is a difficult question to answer, and your current responses will be hit and miss.  Hopefully you will have more hits than misses, though!

When the more concrete items on your list begin manifesting, start working on the abstract ones.  Find a way to break them into concrete lists, if possible.  For instance, freedom of time and resources could be worked on by attracting various situations that help to free your time.

Always keep a feeling within your visualizations of having already obtained that which you seek.  Keep a light, happy overtone to your imaginings, and the energy you emit to the universe for attraction will be positively radiant.

Remember, attracting happiness, piece by piece, can be a very hit and miss type of thing.  Do not be discouraged when you successfully manifest something only to find it is less than you hoped for. 

Also do not be overwhelmed when you manifest something you considered small and insignificant which turns out to bring you loads of joy.  Such is the way of the universe, and through these surprises will you truly begin to attract real happiness into yourself and into your life.

Welcome back!

Have you ever been in a true gridlock situation? Frustrating, isn’t it?

You see where you need to go, you feel you have what you need to get you there, however you just can’t move in the right direction. To add torment to your trouble, what if you ran out of gas during the gridlock?! Now even when the gridlock clears up, you will be unable to reach your goal without some aid.

Many of us go through life as if we were in cars stuck in a perpetual gridlock. We really believe we know where we need to go, and we are certain we have what it takes to get there, however we just don’t seem to be making any forward motion. Why is that? Well, often, even if we think our plan has been thought out, and we have acquired the skills and tools necessary to proceed with it, there really is something blocking our way.

Our own negative emotions and feelings, translated into energy that crosses time and space, is blocking any positive force waiting to come into our realm. May I suggest a simple tool for your positive thinking path to all the riches the universe can offer you through the Law of Attraction? Begin today keeping a Victory Journal.

Of course you have heard countless times the value of journaling. This is different, though, in a vitally important way. Nothing, no hint, not a single word, nothing at all negative ever goes into this book! This is strictly a volume for you to keep track of and celebrate your daily victories.

For some, this may be foreign soil. Perhaps you have always given more credence to the disappointments and disasters in your life than the wonderful and marvelous events surrounding you. For you, I say, breathe deep, this is not going to hurt a bit! Letting go of your negative viewpoint will open doors to the greatness of the life awaiting you. Start small with a child’s smile, a faithful dog’s wag, a beautiful flower in an unexpected location. These, and a myriad of other delights have always been yours for the noticing.

Soon, as every day brings new peace, joy, and satisfaction to your realization, you will naturally begin to experience and truly notice with pleasant astonishment the bliss your life consists of. Get out of life’s gridlock of melancholy and situational sorrow, and spend today and all of your tomorrows on a path way destined for delight. To sum this all up, here is a lovely quote from Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, younger sister of former President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt and an aunt of former First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt.

An accomplished poet and also the first woman to ever speak before a presidential nomination convention, Corinne reminds us to: `Stretch out our hand’s and take the world’s wide gift of Joy and Beauty.’ May you experience true joy today and always.

Have you always been the type of individual who has to know “how” things work?

Congratulations, people like you are constantly coming up with inventions to improve the world for those of us who are content to know that something does work, and not why! The simplest example is electricity, I have no real idea how it works, however I certainly do appreciate and use it daily.

The Law of Attraction is very much like electricity, in that many of the people who are using it daily have no real conception of the power behind it.

Think back to your high school science class. Remember learning that energy, in any of it’s many forms, can not be destroyed. Also, energy, in and of itself, has no propensity for perceiving `good or evil’ it simply is.

Without getting too deep into the atoms, and molecular level of energy, suffice to say that the Law of Attraction is a law of nature, as real as gravity, and whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, and put it to good use in your life, or not, it will not cease to be real.

Does the Law of Attraction mix science and spirituality too much for your taste? Well, consider the words of Carl Sagan, arguably one of the greatest scientific minds of the twentieth century, on this subject: `Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.’.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a conciseness of the `vibes’ one was giving off. Good vibes meant you were in tune with nature and your fellow man. Bad vibes, on the other hand, was a sign you were out of balance, uptight, and not with it. Even the Beach Boys, wildly popular singing group of that era, were in tune to the power of the vibes, as their song, Good Vibrations  showed.

Our own emotions, either positive or negative, are the energy that fuel our vibrations. The Law of Attraction responds to our own energy, our moods and emotions, and simply mirrors them back to us, in a sense. Responding to our vibrations, the Law of Attraction gives us back what we are putting out, and multiplies it.

Attitudes of gratitude, contentment, joy, pride, and peace, will be returned to us in greater degrees, however, unfortunately, the reverse is just as true.

Send out bad vibes, anger, ingratitude, resentment, hatred, and so on, and that is what you will be receiving back, again, in even greater force than you put out.

It is vitally important for you to be aware of the vibrations you are sending out. Dwell on things that please, excite and inspire you, and give no room in your mind for the negative.

Think of your heart and mind as a dinner plate. There is a buffet, and you can go through as often as you like, however you must eat everything you place on your plate each time you pass through. Are you likely to choose spoiled, sour and foul smelling foods, or will you choose the sweet, tender, and freshest things available from the abundance?

The latter I hope! Well, that is how our hearts and minds are, there is only room for so much, so please don’t waste space, and therefore energy, on that which brings no pleasure.

As you begin to be more aware of your own vibrations, and how to consistently adjust them towards the positive, you will invite the power of the Law of Attraction to perform mighty acts of  benefit in your life.

As you read this, someone in your sphere of contact, is going to begin, very soon, a journey on a path of imaginable joy and fulfillment! What are you going to be doing today, that can’t give way to join in this incredible life experience. Work?

Family responsibilities? I realize the list can seem insurmountable of reasons why you can’t devote yourself to a brighter future today, however if you allow daily stress and struggles to have control over your life, your future will never be what it was meant to be. Your tomorrow, when you are going to have the time to really look into this `Law of Attraction’ phenomenon will never occur. The years will go on, but positive change will never materialize for you.

Stop swimming upstream! Everything you are trying to accomplish in your life, from finding your car keys to becoming the next `American Idol’ is as close as your next breath. Imagine owning one of those beautiful stainless steel and glass refrigerators. There are special drawers and temperature settings for every type of food and drink. It has every feature you ever dreamed a fridge could possess.

You go to the store and buy all your favorite items, the freshest produce, chesses, eggs, and meat. You can’t wait to experience how terrific this new fridge is going to serve your family in preserving your food. You fill the fridge, and go out for the day. When you come home that night, prepared to serve your family a great meal from the items in your terrific new fridge, you are dismayed to find everything in the fridge is spoiled, and is of no value.

Now imagine you continue to do this every day, for years on end, never wondering what is wrong, and wasting all the resources you put into the fridge every day. If only someone had told you to plug this amazing new fridge in!!!! Well, silly as that sounds, that is exactly what you are doing each day you try to succeed in life without being `plugged in’. All your efforts, resources and labor has no effect on what you are trying to achieve. You feel as though your job is going nowhere, your health is fair at best, and your family and friends don’t appreciate all you go through each day, just to survive.

Isn’t it time to stop surviving, and begin thriving? When will you take the power of the universe and claim it as your own? Will today just be another day of barely getting by, or will today be the start of a lifelong adventure of soaring with the eagles? Do you want to run and not grow weary?

Do you want to walk and not feel faint? Mount up to fly with wings of eagles. The eagle does not thrash about, attempting to fly, he majestically soars.

There are no struggles for those who do what they were meant to do. You were born for greatness, for a time such as this we must stop trying to operate without the power to do so. Plug in to the Law of Attraction, and never again feel as though no matter what you put into your efforts, nothing good comes out.

If not today, than when? Why not now!!!

When you describe success, what words do you use? What does it mean to you? Who is living a life that you, in your personal view of the word, exemplifies success? What separates `you’ from `them’? In reality, nothing. Nothing in this world can stop the person who conceives, believes and chooses to receive success.

Consider this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, great poet and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early nineteenth century:

“To laugh much; to win the respect of people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition, to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

Does anything Emerson had to say on the subject of success ring true in today’s complex and highly consumer influenced world? On the surface, it would seem not to, but look deeper with me. What is missing in this passage from Emerson’s extensive writings?

There is no negativity listed at all. No thoughts of `Not hurting anyone, not littering, not being selfish, not being wasteful’, and so on. What is the difference? The difference is quite simply this: Success is not the absence of `bad’, since we live in a world tainted with people and their processes that are intent on evil `bad’ will not disappear from our lives, regardless of our success. Success is not the absence of bad, then, but the actual embodiment of good.

Stop, immediately, thinking what you don’t want in your life. Begin to purposely dwell on those things that, for you, spell success. Are the personal relations in your life in a shambles? Does your bank balance show more coming out than going in on a regular basis? Is your physical health so poor you don’t believe you can bear another day of suffering?

All these issues, and countless others all await the Law of Attraction for positive direction and healing. The universal Law of Attraction does not see `good’ or ‘bad’, it only answers to the force calling. Therefore, if all you think is, `I don’t', `I can’t', `It won’t', you will be right every time. The Law of Attraction is not interested in making a fool out you, if all you think about is what’s wrong with your life, that is all you will continue to see and realize.

When, however your perspective changes to the positive, it is as if the floodgates of heaven had opened upon you, and you won’t be able to find buckets big enough to hold all the blessings that pour down. So, allow your self to be positive, allow your heart , mind and soul to join together with the Law of Attraction and begin today towards a more successful tomorrow.
