Law of Attraction
Law of Attraction
Our thoughts, emotions and feelings act as a powerful magnet, attracting circimstances into our lives. Whether these circimstances are positive or negative, is completely dependent on how we think!
This is the sixth of seven articles in our continuing series covering the core seven Universal Laws. The focus of this article is the sixth Law “ the Law of Attraction.
Law of Attraction
Simply stated, the Law of Attraction says that we attract into
our lives, that upon which we place our dominant thoughts. In other
words, if we focus predominantly on abundance, solutions and positive
outcomes then that is exactly what we will attract back into our
lives. Nice!
There is a dangerous flip side to this law however - if we focus on lack, problems and negative outcomes, then that is exactly what we will attract.
You may have heard of Earl Nightingale. Known today as the father
of modern day self-help, Earl, while working in the insurance business
back in the mid 1950Ās, cut a record called "The Strangest
Secret". The purpose of this record was to provide some training
for his staff while he was traveling on business. EarlĀs strangest
secret was simply this:
We become what we think about most of the time!
This "secret" aligns perfectly with the Law of Attraction
and acts as a constant reminder that we must learn to control our
thoughts. Truthfully, our own thoughts are the only things in life
over which we have complete control. The challenge is to keep them
in control and not let them run rampant with negativity.
For an example of the power of the Law of Attraction, you need
look no further than your own life. Have you ever had one of those
days, where everything seems to go wrong? From the cold shower to
the burnt toast to the traffic ticket on the way to the office,
to the grouchy boss, to the difficult customer, we have all experienced
those days. It all starts with the way we think. Our thought patterns
attract the first negative experience. This experience then puts
us in a negative frame of mind which works to attract further "bad"
situations. The more we focus on the "bad day" we are
having, the worse things get!
The solution is to change our frame of reference. Take the negative emotions and change them to be either positive or at least neutral. Look for the lesson in every situation. Learning to laugh at ourselves is another great way to change our reference point. If we break the cycle of negativity, things will begin to turn around almost immediately.
What You Can Do
There are two things that you can start doing immediately that will help you to harness the awesome power of the Law of Attraction:
1. Ask yourself the question: "Do I focus on Lack or Abundance"
(or stated another way, "Am I problem-focused or solution-focused")?
If you answered, "Lack / Problems" then set out to immediately
change your frame of reference. Change your habits and thought patterns
to be more positive and solution-focused.
2. Take full responsibility for whatever is happening in your life, be it good or bad. You have attracted the good as well as the bad, so taking responsibility will allow you to make the choice to change your thinking.
Positive thinking on its' own will not solve all of your problems,
however it is one of a series of things that we all have the power
to implement which will get us on the path to leading the life we
want.
