What you think about you bring about. Want your life to get better in absolutely any facet – fitness, wealth or relationships? Have you ever put in effort and not seen results? Let me share how to make the Law of Attraction work for you. Not against you.
I have implemented this effectively in every area of my life. Initially, I was focused on a financial goal. I was an unhappy, over-worked mechanic earning $35K a year and whenever I thought things were looking up, the rug was always pulled out from under me. I just couldn’t catch a break.
After I learned the principles around the Law of Attraction and applied them, within six months I was earning $50K/month. Boom! A few years later I formed my own personal development company, which was valued at US$170m by its fourth year.
This all came about by tangibly applying the Law of Attraction to achieve results. I’m not talking about sitting on your couch with affirmations and manifesting $1m. That’s not how it works. Every material thing in our lives originated from a conscious thought, an idea, or mental plan. It’s all about what state of mind you’re in when you created that thought, as to what outcome you will attract.
The Law of Attraction is a universal law; it is already applying to you right now. You have uniquely manifested everything in your life, the good, bad and the ugly! So if you’re unhappy with certain areas, the good news is you have the power to change it immediately just be deciding you want your life to be different.
The key is to take control of your thoughts. Anything that pops into your mind that is counter productive to the outcome you wish to create, reject it on the spot. Hit the kill switch on that train of thought and the place where it originated. It will not service you or bring you closer to what you’re seeking.
Your past is not the reality at this present moment, so don’t approach future decision with your past mindset, it will just keep bringing you the same results. Every day, I focus my mind on what I want to achieve and the way I want my life to be, and every decision I make is from that standpoint so everything I attract is helping me move towards my vision.
If you’re not happy with what you’re currently attracting in your life, the first step is STOP. Stop what you’re doing, stop the entitlement mindset, stop expecting things without working for them, stop seeing life from a victim point-of-view. There can be no room for any ‘poor me’ thoughts.
The cause of my success was 100% mental and this is the key to the Law of Attraction. It all comes back to the model of reality in my mind, which dictates my attitude, my viewpoint, the way I see myself and other people.
If you show up determined to see an event through a ‘life sucks’ lens, then that’s what you’re going to attract, that’s how this phenomenon works. If you take the view of the affluent successful guy, you see things from a different perspective and will attract similar things into your life. But if you don’t back them up with physical action, then nothing’s going to change. Your super fit body is not going to transform itself sitting on the couch and visualizing.
Create a new image of yourself and observe from a fresh perspective. By doing that, you’re creating space, a void for a new reality to exist. You’re no longer defending or justifying where you’re at now, and the lack of what you have or want. You’re seeing it from a ‘how can I?’ standpoint, instead of ‘I can’t!’
It helps to have people you can model yourself on, luckily the internet makes it easier to find those who have achieved what we desire, so we can emulate their values and actions. When you hold the point-of-view and mind space of a person who can do it, then you will attract only what you created that space to contain. If you find yourself slipping back into old thought patterns, STOP. Find something that gets you back to a positive mindset – PD podcast, singing, animals, whatever works for you!
Success is a 100% inside job. Open yourself up to the possibility that you can achieve anything you want, create the space to see things from the perspective of your future self, and watch the magic that is the Law of Attraction start working FOR YOU.
