Law of Attraction
Some will have you believe that The Law of Attraction simple means if you think long and hard about something you want, you could have it through the power of thoughts. Although we certainly understand that the human brain can be a powerful resource but aquiring things through the power of thought alone would bring skepticism to most.
Lets look at some scenarios:
Scenario 1
Jane is a long time player of the lottories, Jane has bought this weeks lotto ticket and for some reason unknown Jane believes she is going to win big. The feeling is so strong with in Jane that she starts making plans on what she will buy when she wins.When the results are announced Jane is very dissappointed to learn she did not win.
Was the Law of Attraction at play? Maybe it was, Just not for Jane.
Scenario 2
John has a final exam approaching in the weeks to come, john goes about his way to gather as much information realting to the test possible. Over the comming weeks John studies endlessly, learning as much as he can to prepare himself for the big test. The test has finally come and gone and today is the day John finds out the result, John is anxious as he has thought about nothing else other than getting the outcome he desires. John is happy to learn he was awarded top marks in his class, a perfect score.
Did Law of Attraction play a part with John receiving top score?
Lets Review The Scenarios – Was Law of Attraction envolved
In Scenario 1 - Jane bought a lottories tcket, Jane was absolutley certain with in her mind, body and soul she was going to win the big one. Jane did not win and was very upset. So was this Law of Attraction or was it just bad luck?
When you consider how many millions play lotto each week the chances of Jane winning was basically a zero chance, or was it that the winner wanted the money more?
In Scenario2 - Personaly i do not believe this is a result of Law of Attraction, yes John was positive he would get a great result, but to get that result John consciously had to study very hard to achieve it. Through studying hard it would be expected John would get a good result.
So What Is Law Of Attraction then?
To get a real understanding of what the Law of Attraction is, lets look at the famous author Robert Kiyosaki.
Robert T. Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. This is the #1 personal finance book of all time, which has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money today.
Robert Kiyosaki was born in Hawaii and has an estimated net worth of $80 million. An entrepreneur, investor, author, and motivational speaker, Robert Kiyosaki is most widely recognized as the author of the fifteen books that make up the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” series. The books have sold 26 million copies, as well as spawning numerous spin-off products including software, games, and audio books. Robert was taught from a young age not to work for money but better yet have money work for him.
Now do you think when Robert was growing up he had dreams? Absolutely. Do you think early in his quest Robert had self belief? Of course he did or he wouldn’t be where he is today. See Robert Kiyosaki was rich and successful way before he was actually rich and successful, it just hadn’t happened yet. Robert knew he was going to be successful because he had the belief, he had a plan that he followed and did not divert form, he was so confident with in himself. People could see this in him and opportunities came his way (LAW OF ATTRACTION).
I remember reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and one thing Robert Kiyosaki wrote in the book which i think about almost on a daily basis. Robert basically said if you want to be successful in life you have to do something for nothing, meaning do good for others and you shall receive goods things back 10 fold. I heard Robert say in an interview that he has made a lot of money by simply helping others out, not for money but just because it was for a good course. That is what Law of Attraction is really all about.
Law of Attraction isn’t always about fame and wealth, look around your work place and compare the people you see walking around depressed and hating their job, and look at the people in the work place who are always smiling, acting confident and getting the job done. These are they guys who generally go places because they are vibrant and exciting to be around, their positive outlook on life rubs off onto others around them and others feed off people like this because they make them feel better about themselves. Who would you rather associate yourself with, a happy person or someone who is an absolute drag in life with a terrible attitude? Not really a hard answer is it.
Confidence Helps – My True Story
About 15+ years ago before the online world really took off i was introduced to a off line Multi Level Marketing (MLM) Business in Sydney, it was your typical pyramid scheme set up but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I seen people making serious money off other people and all i had to do was recruit people myself and i would too be making money.
I was assigned my own mentor who was quite a good, he showed me the ins and outs of the business and what needed to be done to succeed.
One Saturday night i had a party to attend but during the day prior to the party i had to attend a coaching session. At the time i wasn’t really a confident person so i had trouble talking to people about the business model and getting them to hear my business presentation (or BP as they called it). At that time i had only manage to sign up two people and that was because i had my coach do the presentation.
In the coaching session that day my coach and i were going over my plan of attack on how i was going to get new members to my business. He told me to do something that i have never forgotten and urge anyone to try.
He told me when i attended the party later that night, he wanted me to dress up in a casual suit. I thought to myself at that moment that their was no way as most people at the party would be wearing jeans and and a t-shirt. After further discussion i thought what the heck i’ll give it ago.
When first arrived at the party that night i had a few weird looks from other guest and people i knew at the party but i noticed after a short period of time people started approaching me and wanting to talk. Initially i thought to myself it wasn’t because of the way i was dressed, but after meeting new people more then i normally would i started to think maybe this is really working. I have to say i was now feeling very confident and feeling really good about myself, so i started talking about the business model to party guest.
Two hours later i had 5 people booked in to hear the business presentation, out of the 5 who listened to the presentation 3 had signed up and i was now a believer.
By dressing up a little more then the rest of the party and putting out a positive vibe i actually started to feel very confident, therefore i was engaging with others more easily and naturally. I was listening to what they had to say and they gave me their full attention in return.
By sending out a good vibe to others about who you are or if you help others out (do something for nothing) people see this and in return will repay you the favor and opportunities will come your way more than you could imagine.
By being a positive, happy and helpful person in life i have no doubt that you too can decode the Law of Attraction and bring success and happiness to your own life as well.
