How Does The Law of Attraction Work?

I heard a story once about a farmer who was about to lose his farm, because of a continuing drought. They hadn’t had rain for over 2 years, so he was becoming desperate.

He decided as a last resort he’d kneel down and pray to God for rain which would save his livelihood. He said to God, "Please make it rain so that my crops will grow and I can sell them to the market and save my farm?"

God’s reply was, "Why would I make it rain? You haven’t dug the irrigation ditches yet, so you’re not expecting it to rain."

Don’t we all do this? We expect the Law of Attraction to work for us but we do nothing to make it happen. We’re really just "wishing" for something to happen.

To attract what you want in your life, you have to prepare the "ditches" first. No ditches, no rain. If you were going for a new job, would you turn up without a resume’? Of course you wouldn’t. You’d make sure your resume’ was up to date and professional, so that you had a good chance of securing the job.

The same goes for anything we want in life. For the Law of Attraction to work properly, you have to take the time and effort to know what you want and a plan of how you’re going to get it. Whatever it is you’re attracted to won’t just fall into your lap. It’s up to you to take all the steps necessary to achieve your goal.

Is The Law of Attraction Working For You?

Have you been struggling to get the Law of Attraction to work for you? Do you feel like you must have some severe inner blockages that prevent you from attracting the things you really want into your life?

You may have the temptation to view the Law of Attraction as some kind of mystical power greater than yourself. You may often feel like you’re "begging" the universe to deliver your desires.

The Law of Attraction works according to your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and expectations! If you’re not yet living the life you want, you’re probably not putting out the right signals.

Think about what you really want, and not what you think you can get or willing to settle for - but what YOU want! If you could create anything at all right now, what would it be? Write it down in minute detail and let the Law of Attraction work for you.

Then, begin focusing on it as often as you can - FROM the perspective of already having it. How would you feel if you already had exactly what you wanted? You might feel calm, content, happy, joyful, grateful, blessed, excited, or relieved. Several times a day, experience those feelings as though you already had it and get your positive emotions flowing.

Learn how to detach emotionally from problems, upheavals and difficult people, as they can take away your focus. In essence, try ignoring them as much as you can. It will take practice, but eventually you’ll be able to consciously CHOOSE where to flow your energy - toward the good stuff!

Once you have your mindset right, miracles and opportunities will come flowing into your life and you’ll finally realize that YOU held the power all along. YOU are the Law of Attraction! You have an inner power that will work with you providing you take the necessary steps to achieve your goal.

How To Attract A Perfect Mate!

Have you ever wondered how we attract just one perfect person into our lives out of the billions of people in the world? Is it by accident?

I don’t think it is an accident and I believe that the "Law of Attraction" comes into play. You’ve probably heard the saying, "To attract a perfect mate, you have to be a perfect mate". How true that saying is. If you don’t love yourself and value everything you do and have, then how can you attract a like-minded person?

The human body is like a high powered electrical instrument sending vibrations out into the universe. Everything we do like see, hear, smell, taste and touch throws off a vibration, because our bodies are in a constant state of motion.

Have you noticed that when you meet someone new you either like them straight off or you don’t? The reason you don’t like them is because they’re sending off a negative vibration which does not resonate with your positive vibes. It’s fairly easy to pick up on a person filled with anger. You can usually feel the negativity surrounding them. This is the "Law of Attraction" at work.

Did you know that the perfect mate for you is already here? It’s up to you to get into harmony with that person. What do I mean? Have an image in your mind of what qualities you’d like your mate to have. Do you want someone who is romantic, thoughtful, attentive and respectful to you? You may also want someone who’s attractive, well groomed etc. I think you get the picture!

Napoleon Hill "Think And Grow Rich" said, "The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself".

In other words reflect on the qualities that you have in order to convey those feelings to others in your search to find the perfect mate.

 

Discover The Power Within

We all have a subconscious mind which can be influenced by new thought patterns, and what we need to focus on is what we hope to achieve in our lifetime.

If our focus is on lack of money then that is exactly what we’ll get. We already have the mental tools necessary to create the scenario we want but sometimes we need to be shown how to use them.

Remove the lid to your mind in respect to how much you earn and understand that the wealth you are seeking is already there waiting for you. All you have to do is tap into it and discover the power within.

Start picturing yourself in possession of great wealth and then visualize how you’re going to spend it. Your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between you actually doing something or visualizing yourself doing it.

You cannot have something physically until you have it mentally. Once you achieve this then you are on your way to developing a prosperity consciousness.

You may think that this is all a game but what you don’t realise is that to discover the power within and to use it to it’s full potential, you are ultimately able to cause the idea to manifest into your life.

Bob Proctor from "The Secret" once said: "You were born rich, and your abundance is contained in THOUGHT. So be good to yourself, choose magnificent ideas, and cease permitting your physical world to control your thinking".

Dress With Confidence

If you’re going for a job interview, before you leave your house, make sure you are dressing for a successful outcome.

Making a good first impression is the key to the interviewer wanting to know more about you. If you dress with confidence your self esteem will soar before you get in the door! If you turn up in old ragged clothes or clothes which haven’t been ironed, then your chances of securing the job are just about nil.

I remember years ago when I worked in a reputable bookshop with a handful of staff, a girl came in looking for a job, and it wasn’t so much her appearance which turned me off, it was the fact that she was carrying a dog! Do you think she really wanted the job? I don’t think so.

Even if you don’t have money to spend on a new outfit, there’s no excuse for turning up and looking shabby. Remember to dress with confidence! Make sure your clothes are neatly ironed and presentable, your shoes are clean and your hair is tidy. You’ll have more chance of securing a job if you take the time and effort to dress properly and show that you are confident of securing the position offered.

So, the next time you’re trying to impress a potential boss, remember to dress with confidence. It’s your best chance of being chosen for the position.

Will The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Be Successful?

If you look at the faces of the competitors arriving in Beijing then it gives you confidence knowing that those young people will put their heart and soul into winning for their country.

All of these athletes have been training hard over the last 4 years so that they can attend what is to them, the greatest sporting event in the world. We can only hope that steroid abuse does not spoil the Beijing Olympics, as we have been made aware in the last few days that steroids are readily available over the counter in Beijing.

What a disappointment it must be to those athletes who decide to stay "clean", to be beaten by someone dosed up on steroids. It must shatter their self confidence in their abilities when they are beaten by someone who cheats.

We’ve been told that there are going to be thousands of drug tests taken, but they are not always accurate and the athletes have found ways of concealing their abuse, as was the case with US sprinter Marion Jones, who admitted to steroid abuse during the 2000 Olympic Games. If steroids can be bought over the counter as easily as a packet of Aspirin, then how can we possibly say that the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be drug free?

We can only hope for the sake of honest athletes, that the authorities are vigilant, so that our athletes can be confident knowing that they will win on their merits rather than being injected with performance enhancing drugs.

Let the 2008 Beijing Olympics begin!

Can You Really Expect An Abundance?

The answer is definitely "yes". Many people live their lives with that old adage, "I’ll believe it when I see it", firmly transfixed in their minds.

But the visionaries of yesteryear have always known that the overriding principle is, "I’ll see it when I believe it". What a difference it makes just by changing the wording. Everything we see in our physical world today, has been built largely by image-makers. Men and women who had self confidence and knew what they could do, and EXPECTED everything else to fall into place, regardless of what the critics had to say.

Think about the Wright Brothers. If they hadn’t had an image of an airplane in flight, and EXPECTED it to succeed, then we wouldn’t be flying all over the world today.

Thomas Edison invented the first light globe so that today we don’t have to spend our time feeling our way in the dark. He had an image in his mind, and even though he had many failures, he was persistent because he EXPECTED it to work.

There are three steps you can take to expect an abundance into your life.
1. Build the image in your mind
2. Turn it over to spirit, universe etc. Whatever you wish to call it.
3. Expect to receive it with all your heart and soul and that you will be rewarded for your faith

To expect an abundance, you have to get emotionally involved and that means taking the three steps above to achieve it.

Do You Really Know Your Teenage Daughter?

Being a teenager in today’s society is not an easy task, and it affects girls a lot more than boys. 

Girls are much more likely than boys to become depressed, delve into self-destructive behaviors and damage their futures because of low self-esteem. The easiest way to help them develop a healthy self-image is by encouraging them to try and master new things. Of course, you’ll have to make sure they are listening first - and to you, not the cell phone. 

Talk with your daughters. Talk to your teen girls every day, just like when they were back in the lower grades. "What was the hardest class you had today?" "Have you studied WWII yet in history?" "How did the scrimmage go in basketball?" 

Maybe you’re looking at that list of questions and asking yourself, "which classes are my kids in at school?" If you’ve completely withdrawn from your child’s life, now is the time to get reacquainted. Meet with your child’s principal or school counselor. Find out what classes she’s taking and what extracurricular activities she’s in.  

Toss the grades out the window. Parents, it’s time to admit that short list of letters exists mainly for us. A, B, C, D … they don’t demonstrate how hard our kids work in class, just how many answers they get right. They might have worked hard studying, but they also might have had a lucky guess.  

You can’t test effort, but you can see it. Get involved with your daughter’s friends and her academics by offering to host club meetings and study groups. Being involved with your teen girl, and particularly being a good listener, will help her feel supported and secure. 

Encourage self-exploration by paying attention to your teen’s hobbies. If your daughter is already an ace at computer games, ask her if she’s ever tried programming one of her own. Buy her some tutorial guides, or invest in a summer camp program. Encourage her habits in healthy ways by helping her set realistic goals for herself, and praise, praise, praise when she follows through. It doesn’t matter if she succeeds. It matters if she gives it her all.

Friends Can Help Boost Your Self Confidence

The very act of having friends can inspire confidence. You’re someone who is worth being around. Friends can bring so much more to your life, though. You should be able to count on your friends for support. When you’re feeling low, they’re there to tell you about your good qualities and make you feel better about yourself. They can remind you of the times when you’ve lacked confidence in the past while telling you that they know you can bounce back once again. They can help you put it all in perspective and perhaps serve as a source of inspiration if they’ve faced their own struggles with self-confidence. While it can be good to compare yourself to your friends for inspiration, you should never do so to the point that you start to feel bad about yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re friends with a Nobel-prize-winning supermodel; there is no reason to discount your own positive qualities by making unnecessary comparisons. Your friends shouldn’t make you feel bad about things that they do "better" than you, either. If you read these descriptions and find yourself thinking that you have friends that don’t fit these qualities, you may want to think about the role of these friends in your life. Are they having a positive influence on you? Are you feeling low on friends? As the years pass, we sometimes drift away from our friends when someone gets a new job, gets married or experiences some other major life change. It can be a blow to your confidence when you look around and realize that you don’t have as many friends as you once had. First, if you have some friends you have drifted apart from but would still like to stay in contact with, don’t waste any time. Send an e-mail or make a quick phone call as soon as possible to let your friend know that you still want to stay in touch. Try to set up a time when you can meet for a lunch date, movie night or sporting event. It will take extra effort, but it may be possible to preserve a friendship that has started to falter. Be willing to let a friend go, though, if it just isn’t working out. You’ll feel worse about yourself if you continue to have awkward conversations and disinterested meetings. Sometimes two people change to the point that they’re no longer a good fit for each other, and it would do more harm than good to try to preserve the friendship. Look back on your happy memories whenever you’re feeling down and take heart in the fact that if you’ve made new friends in the past, then you can certainly find new friends again. The simplest step towards making new friends is to be friendly. If you’re welcoming to everyone you meet, people will feel more inclined to get to know you better. If you want to make new friends, you can’t be afraid to make the first move. Start with some small activity that the two of you can do together. You can ask someone new to sit by you at lunch or ask a co-worker if he’d like to work out with you. If this sounds too daunting, then consider putting together a group activity like a dinner party or a girls’ night out. Then you won’t have to feel like you’re singling out any one person as a potential friend while expanding your social circle and paving the way for future friendships. If someone else makes the first efforts to start a friendship or invites you to a group event, take advantage of every opportunity. Even if the activity doesn’t sound too interesting at first, it’s probably worth a few hours of your time to scope out a potential friend, as long as he or she isn’t asking you to do anything that goes against your morals. If you keep an open mind and stay on the lookout for social opportunities, you should have new friends in no time.

Do You Need To Be Perfect?

Perfectionism relies on a person avoiding areas in which they need improvement. You’re likely to hear them say, "I’m not perfect, but…" while talking about the actions of other people. Clearly their goal is to be beyond criticism. That never happens. In fact, it stunts your potential. Self-confident people realize, the need to improve, is the key to an enjoyable life. No guilt. No fear. No self-criticism. As perfectionists take the beginning steps to improve one thing, they slowly build their sense of confidence. As their lives become more enjoyable they will see the need to take risks. They - more than anyone - will appreciate the knowledge gained through mistakes. Ironically, those people who aren’t so perfect can spot a problem a mile away. If you are teamed up in a relationship or business venture with someone consumed with quality, your self-confidence may also be taking a hit. You learn early on you’ve got to set boundaries. Don’t be a venting board for the mistakes your partner sees in life. The constant criticism will force you to doubt how the person really feels about you. Make your own decisions. Emotionally it may hurt your friend to see you try and fail, but it’s important for you to build confidence. Let them know you appreciate their ideas, but you need to do some things on your own. Demand respect. "I told you so," is an ugly thing to say, and it’s even worse to hear. The people close to you should be able to congratulate you on a job well done and encourage you to try again, not brag about how if they had tried, they would have succeeded. Make sure your perfectionist partner knows you need their support, and be sure to point out when you aren’t getting it. Whether you are the perfectionist or you’re just close to one, this mindset can wreak havoc on your self-confidence. Focus on actions driven by dreams, and break tasks into smaller pieces to boost positive, realistic improvement in your life.
