Law of Attraction
Part I - This is the first installment in a series of articles on the Law of Attraction and how to make it work in your life.
The Law of Attraction and the power of positive thinking certainly are getting a lot of attention these days. The release of the book and movie “The Secret” has spawned hundreds of web sites, books, television shows, etc. Why do you suppose such a positive film about attracting positive things in your life, by focusing on the positive side of things, attracted so much negative controversy?
The problem with the Law of Attraction is that most people don’t believe it. We don’t believe in our own power. We don’t believe in our own abilities.
We don’t believe that there is simply nothing we cannot be, do or have. Most people scoff at that idea.
So the question is: Why don’t we believe in the Law of Attraction?
We have been programmed not to. For the most part, we believe what our parents believe. We believe what we have been taught. We’ve been taught to be “realistic”, that some people are just lucky, what we should be afraid of, that we should learn discipline, try harder, work harder, study more….and on and on.
We have also been taught through our experiences. Everything thing we have been taught, have done, and have experienced since childhood has combined to create all of our beliefs. The idea of repeating affirmations that you will become rich, and then sitting back and waiting for it to happen is just not “realistic.”
The bottom line is that we have limiting beliefs about the Law of Attraction.
Throughout your life, you have been taught all kinds of things. You were taught how to walk, how to talk, how to read, how to write, and how to tie your shoes. But no one ever taught you how to use the Power of Your Mind and your Subconscious mind to really achieve your goals in life. Before “The Secret” book and movie, who ever heard of such a thing? I suppose not many. After all, it was a “secret.”
The fact is, whether we believe it or not, the Law of Attraction is constantly at work in our lives. Working both to our benefit and to our detriment. Most people are simply living their life on auto-pilot accepting what comes to them. Most people live their entire lives without ever understanding anything about their subconscious mind. And because of that, their lives may be unhappy, unfulfilled, mediocre and generally missing any real meaning.
The key to making the Law of Attraction work DELIBERATELY in your life is to eliminate or change the limiting beliefs. It is simple. But it’s not easy. It takes discipline and desire.
And NO, you can’t just repeat affirmations that you will become rich and sit back and wait for it to happen. It doesn’t work that way….to be continued.
