Our thoughts, emotions and feelings act as a powerful magnet that attracts circumstances in our lives. Circumstances these are positive or negative, is entirely dependent on how we think!

Law of Attraction

Simply put, the law of attraction says that we attract into our lives when we place our dominant thoughts. In other words, if we focus mainly on the abundance, solutions and successes so that’s exactly what we will attract back into our lives. Nice!

And ‘dangerous to the other side of this law, however – if you focus on the lack of problems and negative effects, so that’s what we’re attracting.

You may have heard of Earl Nightingale. Now known as the father of modern day self-help, Earl, while working in the insurance industry in the mid 1950’s, cut a disc titled “The strangest secret.” The purpose of this record was to train their staff during a business trip. Earl’s strange secret was simply this:

“We become what we think most of the time!”

This “secret” hit the perfect Law of Attraction and is a constant reminder that we must learn to control our thoughts. It is true, our thoughts are the only things in life that we completely control. The challenge is to keep them under control and let them run rampant and negativity.

For an example of the power of the law of attraction, look no further than your own life. Ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? The cold shower for the toast burned the traffic ticket on the way to the office, the boss in a bad mood, difficulty for the customer, we have all experienced those days. Everything starts with our thinking. Our thought patterns attract the first negative experience. This experience, then put into a negative attitude that works to attract more “bad” situations. The more we focus on the “bad day” we have, things get worse!

The solution is to change the framework. Take the negative emotions and change, positive or neutral. Find a lesson in every situation. Learning to laugh at ourselves is another great way to change the reference point. If we break the negativity, things began to turn almost immediately.

What you can do

There are two things you can start doing immediately that will help you leverage the incredible power of the Law of Attraction:

1. Ask yourself the question: “Should I focus on the absence or abundance (or said differently,” Am I focused on the problem or the solution-oriented “)? If you answered, “Deficit / problem” and then began to instantly change your frame of reference. Change your habits and ways of thinking to be more positive and solution oriented.

2. Takes full responsibility for what happens in your life, whether good or bad. You drew the good and bad, to take responsibility will allow you to make the choice to change your mindset.

Positive thinking alone can not solve all their problems, but is part of a series of things we all have the power to implement that will drive us how to live the life we want.
