I hear this complaint from time to' time – "I like your books, but the' truth is, none of it works for me."' Have you heard that before? Have' you maybe even said that before?' So what's the truth? Does the Law' of Attraction (LOA) work or not?' Do all these ‘feel good' books' and movies actually work or not?' Why do they seem to work for' hundreds of thousands of people,' but not for you?
Let's explore this. Consider… If you drop a ball from the roof' of a building, does gravity or your letting go make it drop?' Think about it. When you toss a horseshoe, what makes it' land on the other side: gravity or your toss?
Well? Which is it, gravity or your action? Obviously, it's both. It's' the same with LOA.
When anything happens in your life, you can say it was LOA that' made it so or you can attribute the result to some other cause and' pretend LOA doesn't exist or doesn't work.
You can even say, "I don't believe in LOA." You can even say,' "LOA doesn't work for me." It's your choice. But what's the truth?' What's real? What's most helpful?
Why do most sports coaches tell their players about the laws' of physics? The coach believes the more you know about what is' happening when you are playing the game, the more you will be' conscious and will work with those laws of physics to win' the game.
For example, I've recently begun racing my exotic sports cars.' While I could just get behind the wheel and drive, the trainers teach' me about geometry and physics so I have a better understanding' about how to successfully drive the car at high speed.
In short, they want me to know about all the laws at play so I can' accomplish my goals better. That makes sense, doesn't it?
The idea is to become more awake and aware so I can get more' of the results I prefer, even on the racetrack.
The same is true in the gym. I've trained with famous' bodybuilders like Frank Zane, Scott York and others. These athletes' don't just tell me to sweat more or lift more. They also teach me to' be aware of gravity, for example, because working with it can help' increase muscle mass.
Are you starting to get the picture? The Law of Attraction is the' same as the Law of Gravity or any other law: it's working whether' you give it credit or not. Knowing about it can help you achieve the' results you want.
In other words, if you're one of those who say LOA doesn't' work for you, then you might as well say gravity doesn't work for' you, either.
LOA is always working. Gravity is always working. That's why' they are both laws.
You can dismiss either or both if you like. But does doing so help you' or limit you? If I can become a better driver by knowing the invisible' laws at work when I race, and I can get better results in the gym with' an understanding of the universal laws at work, and a sports figure can' achieve his or her goals better by knowing the hidden laws underneath' the game, doesn't it behoove you to know about the other laws' operating in your own life?
Given the above, what can you actually do to get better results in' your life even when the Law of Attraction doesn't seem to be working' for you?
LOA is working and you are working it, probably unconsciously.' Instead of saying it doesn't work for you, own that it does. This is' far more empowering than being a victim. Assume you are doing' something inside yourself to attract the results you are getting. It all' begins with accepting responsibility for your life.
Instead of being bounced around by circumstances, start to direct or' at least request where you want to go. You turn your inner radar on' when you make a decision. You begin to steer the ship. Intention helps' align your body and mind to go in the direction you prefer.
Nothing happens until something moves. As I've said many times, the' universe likes speed. Money likes speed. Take inspired action ASAP. It'll' give you instant feedback and instant results. As your actions bring you' new information, you then take new actions based on it.
I'm constantly saying that you must get clear of the limiting beliefs' within you in order to attract your intention. Counter-intentions will' always trip you up. Be aware of your thoughts when things don't work' out for you. Those are what you need to get clear of. Those are the' beliefs that attracted what you got.
How do you get clear? One easy way is through zero Limits. Basically,' you say "I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me and I'm sorry" as you' address the Divine while feeling the inner blocks. This easy method,' explained in the book Zero Limits, can remove the blocks to allow' anything you want the freedom to come to you.
Happiness is what you really want. Be happy now and you'll have' your ultimate goal and you'll send out a vibe to attract more moments' to be happy about. The best way to be happy now is to be grateful' now. My hypnotic story about the pencil in the movie The Compass is a' great reminder of the power of gratitude. Basically, you find something,' anything that will help you move into feeling grateful right now. For' me, 30 years ago, when I was struggling, I picked up a pencil and' found reasons to be grateful for it. Being grateful for it changed my' inner being so I could attract more to be grateful for.
The point here is this: LOA is always working. If that's so, how are' you attracting what you are getting (or not getting)? It's deeper than' your conscious thoughts. But it's not hidden.
Look and ye shall find. Ask and ye shall receive.
