The Secret Law of Attraction

The Secret Law of Attraction is one of the hidden natural laws of the universe. Whether you believe it or not, it is still at work. Just like the gravity, no matter if you believe in gravity or not the force is still working on your body to keep it planted on the ground.

So What is the Law of Attraction?

The book The Secret that Oprah talks about and promotes is based on The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is simply what you think is attracted to you. This is a powerful natural force and it puts the power to be whatever you wish back in your hands once your realize this natural law is in action. It also allows you the power to have whatever you desire and to do whatever you want. As a matter of fact since, like gravity, this natural law is always at work, you can now be aware that you have created everything in your life by attracting it to you.

Yes. It is true. You have created the life you are living right now. If you are struggling financially, don't like your mate, or hate your job, these are all things you have attracted to you. So instead of feeling bad about your circumstance or being frustrated, simply recognize the natural law of attraction and change your thoughts.

Thoughts Become Things

There is an old saying that goes something like this “thoughts become ideas, ideas become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits become your character and your character becomes your destiny.” Thoughts become your destiny. What power thoughts have in our lives!

So what are your thoughts? Have you really listened to the mind chatter going on in your head lately?

First pick an area that you would like to change then promise yourself to really listen to yourself just for the next 24 hours. Find out what you are telling yourself through your actions or your thoughts on that topic. For example, if you are working on prosperity issues, watch what you think and say about money.

Lack of Prosperity

Some common pitfalls to negative prosperity thinking are:

  • I have to work hard for money
  • I am always broke
  • I can't get a break
  • Oh I bet there are only bills in the mail again
  • I never will be able to catch up
  • I am too deep in debt to do anything about it
This kind of thinking simply attracts these beliefs into becoming your reality. It may sound simple, but transforming the beliefs you have had in place for many years, if not decades, takes effort. Don't give up though! Once you see the cycle, you can break the cycle, and from there it becomes easier and easier. The first step is knowing your own beliefs.

Law of Attraction 24 Hour Challenge

For 24 hours, pay attention to all the thought on one specific topic you desire to change. See what beliefs come up, find the words you use to describe your tasks surrounding the area. Quite often they are beliefs that were formed when we are young an come from our family. You can do the 24 hour challenge with any topic. The first step is knowing your own beliefs. So try for 24 hours to watch what feelings, and thoughts and words come up about any topic you would like to work on and see what beliefs come up.

Here are just a sampling of the topics worth working on:
  • Money
  • Relationships
  • Children
  • Specific People
  • Self
  • Work
Determine what beliefs you have about the topic by simply being aware for a 24 hour of period. Just a small example comes from a friend who is struggling with prosperity issues. She took the challenge and wrote down all the clues that came up about money. She found her mind would say negative things over and over about money. She would go to the mail box and instead of being expectant, she would approach it fearfully thinking "Oh man, what bills are now due." Later she hear herself saying "Money may come easy for you, but it doesn't for me."


By being aware of these thoughts and many more, she was able to stop the mind from this by using affirmations. She now approaches the mailbox with joy and she is finding she gets more than just bills, she gets cards from friends, and checks. Random checks. She wins stuff and those notices come in the mail too. After a few weeks of forcing herself to be excited to get the mail, it is now easy because the Law of Attraction has brought her good news via mail.

I just found the book The Four Agreements and boy is it fantastic. It relates well with the Law of Attraction for the first agreement is to be impeccable with your words. And one of my favorite passages is toward the end of the book “I want you to forget everything you have learned in your whole life. This is the beginning of a new understanding, a new dream. The dream you are living is your creation. It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time. You have the power to create hell, and you have the power to create heaven.”

I have believed this since I was a kid. We create our own world here on earth. What is heaven to me may be your personal hell. So if you now recognize that the power to create your own heaven right here, right now, then you can begin a transformation by focusing on being impeccable with your words and your thoughts.

Abundance


Out of The Secret and The Law of Attraction comes many way of working with this powerful force. You can attract anything to your life such as:
  • Wealth
  • A Soul Mate
  • Joy
  • Abundance
  • Self-Love
  • Healthy Relationships
All these topics are worth taking the 24 hour challenge. Besides you have nothing to loose except your old way of thinking!
