Your Success Development - Does The Law Of Attraction Work

By Sharida Kuiken


According to the law of attraction you will get what you think about. If you think in a negative way, bad things will happen; if you think positively good things will happen. It can be taken even further by attributing all the good or bad things that happen to us to the way we think. Wikipedia gives an example of someone receiving an envelope in the mail. Positive thought will produce a check, negative thought will produce a bill.

Well, let's take a look at this from an economic perspective. Forget about morality or religion or anything like that. Let's just take a look at the basic mechanics of money and human action.There are only five ways to get money. You can find it, receive it as a gift, steal it, print it or earn it. I'm going to assume that when you meditate or visualize the LOA, you aren't stealing, finding, being given, or printing money. You are earning it somehow. You are trading your skills or products for cash.Now, let's consider the basics of human trade. We only trade things when we think we are getting the better end of the deal. When you buy a hamburger for a dollar, you actually think the hamburger is worth more to you than the dollar. Otherwise, you wouldn't make the exchange. That would be like changing a dollar for a dollar, which would be silly.Likewise, the person selling you the hamburger would rather have the dollar. Before the exchange, you have a dollar, but you want a hamburger. He or she has a hamburger but would rather have the dollar. After the exchange you are both better off.

The danger is, we can be led to believe all we have to do is to sit around thinking good, positive thoughts and our success development would be assured. In fact, our life would be full of only good things happening to us and we would achieve our goals almost without our doing anything. Does anyone really believe that? The only people I know of who have power, wealth or the good things of life without doing anything are those born into it. The rest of us have to work at it.Have you noticed how successful people talk and act? They generally have a confident, can-do attitude. It is not that they have not had to deal with plenty of challenges or they do not recognize the future challenges. It is simply that they have decided to meet these challenges positively with the expectation they will overcome them and succeed.

Finally, you must be ready to receive. The ability to accept, feeling great and receive graciously opens the door to unlimited success and wealth. The universe gives to people who are a good receiver. This means that you must keep a positive mindset, feeling deserve to receive and persevere to see the success in each area that you want to manifest in your life.In utilizing the law of attraction, you have the choice and consciously choose to think positively or negatively. If you remain positive you will attract good situations, but if you are negative you will attract despair. By being in positive state and ready to receive, you will automatically behave and act to change your environment to correspond to your desires. As outlined in the Secret, such law of attraction techniques will assist you in communicating positive vibrations to the universe. Above all, never ever give up trying to incorporate the law of attraction into your life to your advantage, and your circumstances will respond to you with your persistence.

Some people are turned off by the whole "Law of Attraction," metaphysical, New Age thing and honestly, I can understand that. Personally, I love seeing the magic and wonder of life and enjoy seeing things as miraculous, but that's just me. So, when you see me referring to the Law of Attraction, what exactly am I talking about? Let's just break it down for a moment. Law of Attraction followers generally intend, visualize, focus, look for signs, act, think positively, manifest, and stay grateful. Sounds a little "different" with "intentions" and "manifestations." But to put that in other terms, you set goals, visualize (as an athlete does), watch for opportunities to reach those goals, act, have faith, and are thankful when it happens. Doesn't sound nearly as mystical, does it? Let me expand a bit step by step.

An intention is another way of setting a goal. The difference I've found in intending versus goal setting is my attitude. When I set a goal I generally see it as something that has to get done. It is work. I'm dreading it a bit, but I have to get through it to get to where I want to be. Intentions on the other hand are exciting. I'm looking for opportunities for success, I have faith that they are coming and I get very excited at even the slightest thing that points to my success. Every time I have something to do toward that "goal" I'm excited.

It's important to understand that the law of attraction was referenced long before any new age movement and even before western civilization had even gotten wind of any of the universal laws.To the best of my knowledge and knowledge of others it is said that the Buddha had been the first to really introduce mankind to the underlying principles of the law of attraction, although never directly referred to as such.Buddha stated that "what you've become is what you've thought", a statement and notion that the eastern civilization had understood and acknowledged centuries before the western civilization had even heard of it, let alone really understood or practiced it.Karma also has reference to the law of attraction with their underlying belief that you'll eventually be revisited by that which you've sent out into the world.

The second step to deliberately attract success is to raise our vibration. We must always bear in mind that we do not get what we want but we get what we vibrate. We must therefore become a "vibrational match" to what we want in order to attract what we truly desire. One way to raise our vibration is to act as if we are already successful and start experiencing how we would be feeling if we had already achieved the success we wanted, how joyful we would feel and how happy and excited we would be as a result of achieving the success we desire. We can also use affirmations or use phrases like "I am very successful now." to raise our vibration to attract the success we desire in our life. We can also use visualization and see ourselves already experiencing the success we want.

The third step for deliberate attraction is to allow success to manifest in our life. Allowing is the absence of doubt and fear. If we have a strong desire to be successful but at the same time, we have strong doubts, we will never be able to attract what we want because we will be sending mixed signals in the universe. If, on the other hand, we have a strong desire and some doubts, we will attract success, but it will take a little longer. If we want to rapidly manifest success, we have to have a strong desire with no doubt at all.We all deserve to be successful in life and whatever dreams we have, we all have the potential to achieve them as absolutely nothing is impossible. We just have to follow the great advice of Walt Disney, who rightly said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."
