How Do We Know We Can REALLY Attract What We Want?…

April 14, 2008 on 4:45 pm | In Law of Attraction

Do you sometimes wonder if the Law of Attraction really exists? Or perhaps if it applies at all times, to all situations?

Paradoxically, we know that it is our doubts about things that keep those very things from coming to us…and which perpetuate the state of doubt and uncertainty.

So what to do with the ‘catch 22′? To KNOW that it works before we KNOW that it works?

Ask & It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires

I once heard a very good point made, and cannot credit it to anyone in particular, but will paraphrase it here. Pretend you want to make yourself feel deathly ill by next Friday. If you don’t, there will be dire consequences; you’ll be fired, or something you consider ‘bad’ will happen. If you were to really concentrate on this thought and intention night and day, do you think you could do it? What would you do? Lower your head and slouch your shoulders, perhaps…furrow your brow…start to think about how horrible you feel…each moment you would ‘make’ yourself feel worse and worse, until you could not even remember that it was YOU that caused this, and it might even be difficult to pull yourself out of it after a while. I’ll bet you could think yourself into one sorry state by next Friday.

Actually, I’ll bet you WOULD NOT DO IT. Because you KNOW you could…you KNOW that you can think yourself sick…we’ve all done it. So why do we know with such certainty that we can ‘create’ negative situations, but not positive? Where does this doubt come from?


We have been told since we were little that we had better not want too much; don’t get our hopes up; we can’t have it all; there is no such thing as perfect; who do we think we are?…The list goes on and on of things we were told so we would not end up disappointed…but hasn’t that led to even greater overall disappointment? Even those kids who were lucky to have someone tell them they could be or do whatever they want received mixed messages from the authority figures in their lives…is it any wonder we grow up and have long ago sold out on our dreams, considering them way beyond the reach of reality?

It is not ourselves we distrust, it is the Universe, because we have been taught to. Once we realize this teaching was fear-based masquerading as love-based, we can let it go. Once we see that something meant to protect us is not doing so, we can break free of the limiting thinking and CHOOSE new thoughts that serve us.

Accept responsibility for your creations just as you know that you can create illness if you CHOOSE. Then choose what you believe, and hence what you consciously create, from this moment forward. You may have to work at remembering to think this way… there are lots of ways to do this. Enjoy!

Law of Attraction: Always at Play

April 14, 2008 on 4:36 pm | In Law of Attraction


As you begin to learn about and consciously implement the force of creation inherent in Law of Attraction, you may find that you have times when you feel this stuff ‘works’ and others when it ‘doesn’t work’. This is a misconception, and getting past it is a big piece of your puzzle that may be missing.

Why are we so quick to recognize an amazing coincidence and call it Law of Attraction, and yet deny the Law of Attraction exists or at least works when things don’t go the way we thought they would?…

Think Right Now! Instant Inner Power

The truth is the laws of the Universe are at work - or play! - independent of your beliefs. Your beliefs affect how you experience and perceive things, but do NOT affect the existence of the laws.

One of these is the principle of abundance, which goes along with the ‘always there’ concept. If you are having trouble conceptualizing abundance, especially when it comes to money, try using nature as an analogy.

cloudsAs an example, think about lines of rolling clouds; the waves on a beach; ripples in the vast desert…you will notice they all have similar patterns. The vibration of the wind has caused movement and pattern, and it is a never-ending cycle. Every day you will see different combinations of patterns - no two alike, ever - yet the overall phenomenon continues to exist and play out endlessly.

mudWithout movement and change, there would be no life.

Notice that when you are standing in the ocean or sitting in a warm bath, the water does not pick and choose where to touch you - it envelops and caresses you according to the laws of physics. There is no thought on the water’s part that says ‘this person is not worthy so I will stay away’.

waterMoney is like this as well…money is just an energy, like everything else. It is not separate from nature - it is a part of it, just like we are. It flows endlessly all around you. If you take a moment to consider the financial transactions just in your small corner of the world, you will see that the enormity is staggering; from gas stations and stores to internet transactions and automatic payments; money is literally moving all around you, in an endless flow…just like wind, and just like water.

If the experience or thoughts of ‘not having enough money’ are a part of your life, then by your own thoughts YOU are keeping money from yourself. Picture yourself in a grocery store or a mall…as you walk around, and you see food or clothes or shoes that you like, what does your mind instantly say: ‘I probably can’t afford that. How much is that?’ OR ‘Wow! That’s awesome! I love it. Yum!’…

There is a BIG difference in mentality in those two reactions - one is based in lack, and the other in abundance and joy. It has nothing to do with whether you can really afford it at this moment or not.

You have heard that the Universe is abundant, and that there is more than enough of everything for everybody, but only when you start really letting that thought in and living that truth will it become true for you.
