With everybody’s eyes slowly being opened to the vast and limitless potential that lies in front of them, it is no wonder that for some, the Law Of Attraction and the possibilities that it offers seem like some form of ‘magic’.
The Law Of Attraction isn’t a case of simply wanting something and it falling into your lap as a result of positive thinking.
Instead, it is about keeping your mind open to positivity. In addition, you must have faith in the universe to provide you with what you want most in life.
The Law Of Attraction is no wishing-well or form of witchcraft. It is, alternatively, a way of opening your eyes to the very best aspects of life.
Despite it being true that visualization plays a very crucial role in training your mind to ‘attract', it is not the visualization itself that is manifesting what you want.
You may really, really want a new house. But, spending all of the time in the world picturing this dream home of yours can do nothing to make it a reality.
Visualizing something helps to reign in your thoughts and focus on what it is that you want most. However, it is your beliefs and emotions surrounding what you visualize that control whether your dreams become a reality or not.
Turning your ‘thoughts’ into concrete reality requires extreme faith. Believe that what you want most is already yours, and immediately feel grateful for it.
It is an unfortunate misconception that in order to reap the benefits of the Law Of Attraction and obtain your ‘ideal’ life that the Law Of Attraction has to be ‘learnt’.
Many people often forget that the Law Of Attraction is not some quick-fix scheme.
Plus, it is not a recently discovered formula for happiness that must be studied and applied. It is a never-changing, ever-present part of life. Before you had even heard of the term ‘the Law Of Attraction’ it was already at play within your life.
It is a continuous process that is forever responding to the emotions and thoughts that you are knowingly or unknowingly sending out into the universe.
Therefore, you cannot ‘learn’ the Law Of Attraction; it is already working for you. The key is to become more aware of it and understand the control that you have over your own life.
Essentially, when people begin to learn more about the Law Of Attraction they are often left open-mouthed when they realize that they are being taught to try and be a bit more selfish.
However, if learning how to prevent the moods of others from affecting your well-being is selfish, then everybody ought to try it a little more often. Especially for the sake of their bodies.
In a society, we have been taught to put the needs of others before our own. It has become more important than ever to learn how to once again put your own happiness first.
However, many have misconstrued the Law Of Attraction teachings on encouraging your own happiness as ‘selfish’ in its negligence of the misery of others.
But what good is one miserable person to another? By learning to find happiness in our own lives we can have the confidence and strength to be of better service to those that really need us.
Instead of rejoicing in the realization that through thoughts alone they are able to become the masters of their own universe, some people learn about the Law Of Attraction and become terrified that they will have to control every thought that they have or risk a bad thought becoming a reality.
The fear that every negative thought that you have can come into manifestation is completely unfounded. There is no need to fear your thoughts. A small thought alone does not have the power to become a reality.
Firstly, you have to be telling yourself something over and over again with conviction in your mind for the universe to pick up on it.
Secondly, every impatient person might point out to you that the things that you want (or don’t want) won’t come to you straight away.
Time is a great helper in providing you with an opportunity to reflect back on what it is that you want. Plus, it eliminates any negative emotions that you may have harbored throughout the day.
A fleeting, unchecked thought can result in nothing. However, it is the all-consuming thoughts that you spend time pondering and feeling strongly about that should come into effect.
