A definition of the Law of Attraction

First, here’s the definition provided by Abraham through Esther Hicks: “The Law of Attraction says: That which is like unto itself is drawn.” In other words, like attracts like. This is not a new concept, nor a secret. For example, Matthew 9:29 says, “It is done unto you as you believe.” Scientists working in Quantum Physics have discovered that everything in our Universe sends out vibrations of a certain frequency. They have found that we are essentially vibrational beings in a vibrational environment. The Law of Attraction says that all vibrations are drawn to other vibrations of the same frequency.

Physicists have learned that our thoughts are vibrations too. As thinking beings, we are emitting certain vibrations all the time. At any given moment we may be emitting thoughts of happiness, sadness, frustration, joy, etc. Every thought has its own frequency. So whether we like it or not, we are always emitting some type of vibration all the time, attracting the same frequency back to us.

What you focus on expands

If you are thinking about the lack of money, a scarcity of clients or frustration with your work, you will attract more of the same. Conversely, if you are thinking about abundance or success in your business, you will also attract more of the same. Doesn’t it make sense to spend more time focusing on things you want to attract—such as new clients, more opportunities or more money—rather than focusing on and complaining about those you don’t want?

Change your focus; change your business; change your life

In our society, sometimes we are conditioned to focus on lack, scarcity, things we don’t want and problems we want to fix. Many adults have spent their lifetimes complaining about their current situation and building negative belief systems. To some, it may sound odd or foreign to turn this around and focus on what you DO want. One of the techniques I use is to keep a “Dream Board” in my office. I actually have two. One is a large color print with a collage of stock library photos of things I want to attract into my life. The other is a digital photo frame with more photos and slides with “I am” statements. For example, one of my I am statements is this: “I am attracting the right people into my business.” You can also write these statements down on 3 x 5 index cards and carry them with you. Take them out and read them to yourself several times a day.

An important part of this process is to FEEL the essence of your I am statement while visualizing what you want. Find a way to dig into your emotions and feel how you would if you already have what you wanted. For example, if you are in the network marketing business and you wanted a big organization with thousands of distributors, how would it feel to be leading, coaching and training your team? How would you feel when one of your leaders is promoted, or when a new distributor sponsors his or her first distributor?

Another idea is to send a dream card to yourself. Find a photo of something you really want —for example, your dream home—write your I am statements inside the card along with a vivid, passionate description of how you will feel when you are enjoying your dream home.

Your emotions are your guides

Your emotions are your guides for letting you know whether you’re vibrating in harmony with who you really are and what you want. When you feel bad, overwhelmed or frustrated, your emotions are telling you that you need to change your focus. There are a number of ways to do this. I recommend stating to yourself what you really do want. Then focus on that. Make a determined effort to catch yourself and deliberately change your thinking. This may be a challenge sometimes, so you may have to bring up a good feeling memory first. For example, I’ll remember something funny that my puppy did, and that memory will shift my emotion slightly and then it’s easier to make the deliberate change in my focus.

Express your appreciation

One way to start feeling good so you can focus on what you want is to make a list of everything you appreciate in your business right now. Start somewhere, no matter how small. For example, think of one customer you appreciate, one job or project that gave you satisfaction, or one client who gave you a nice referral or testimonial. Then send a heartfelt card of appreciation.

When you follow these recommendations you’ll be using the Law of Attraction to your advantage. Your business success will be a reflection of your new positive and deliberate creation. Be consistent and practice every day because this is an on-going lifelong process.

Using the Law of Attraction

I know that using the Law of Attraction to create her next business opportunity would be a wise way to open herself up to the good that can happen to her. I think of this Law as the invisible power behind all that happens in our lives. I know that harnessing its power to create what you want, to have your own desires manifest in the way that you’d most like, is eminently doable. It’s simply a matter of observing and then governing the manner in which we think. And if you’d enjoy creating a Law of Attraction career, understanding how your thought makes this law work can be most important.

Defining the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is today’s name for The Law of Cause and Effect. It sometimes looks as if things, events, and people come into our life from the outside of ourselves, in. The truth is, that we are actually creating those things with our thinking and they are being expressed (or, pressed out) from inside of us with our thought process.

It’s true that “what you think is what you get.” The words may seem trite but they pack a wallop of a message, because they contain the meaning of the Law of Cause and Effect or today’s Law of Attraction. Each of us is a thinker. We have been from the get go. Our thoughts have evolved from a simple “I am alive” to the more complex processes we go through now as adults.

We think in a three-step process, and this is the reason you’ll find so many things in our earth experience appearing in a trinity. They’re manifesting from what is our nature, out into our daily lives. When this trinity of thinking begins, you have a desire that wells up from inside of you. Instantaneously, the second part of the trinity happens – you begin to think about your desire. As you think through the process, you eventually come to a conclusion and this is the third part of the trinity. It’s also the part where the “magic” of the Law of Attraction happens and what you wanted in your desire, plus what you thought about it and came to a decision about, actually appears in your life.

You Can Only Think One Thought At A Time

One of the nicest, easiest parts about the Law of Attraction is that you can only think one thought at a time. It is our nature for things to happen easily, and only having to think one thought surely is easy. But the next nicest thing is that we can choose which thought to think! We can choose to think happy thoughts, sad thoughts, loving thoughts, angry thoughts, etc. I realize that you may think those thoughts happen automatically, but if you look more closely, you’ll see how your choice is in there. And that’s one of the greatest parts about the Law of Attraction: you can choose which one thought you will think! So if, like my retiring friend, you want a part time job, you can choose to think “I am attracting the perfect part-time job for retirees right now.” There is no limit to what you can choose to think for or about yourself.

What You Resist, Persists

I know how doubt can insidiously snake it’s way through your heart and mind. I know how you can craft arguments as to why the Law of Attraction can’t possibly work for you. I want to share this with you: whatever you are absolutely convinced about is what you get in your life. So, if you think this Law won’t work for you, it works by not working! And if you think it will work for you, it works by working. I cannot imagine why you wouldn’t want to test this and see if I’m right about this. Why not use a tool that can make your life easier – find that new job, gain a group of clients whom you’ll love – rather than hunkering down and be fiercely determined this doesn’t work? If you are able to reason about your doubts, and if you can tell yourself that it is okay to be successful, you will be, and I would personally love that.

Be Appreciative Now

If you want a wonderfully practical way to test The Law of Attraction to see if it has any validity, I’ve got a great proposal for you. Begin today to meander through all the areas of your life and jot down some notes for things for which you are grateful. Go ahead. It’s painless! How about that nice toaster that made you toast for breakfast? Aren’t you grateful for it? And the convenience of having a pantry in your kitchen? And the love of your pets when you feed them? What about the afghan you have on your leather chair so the shock of sitting down on these chilly mornings is eliminated?

Do you see what I mean? Just the everyday things that are there that you don’t normally think about, but you use them all the time. If you will make a list of all that you are grateful for, here’s what will really be happening:

* You’ll be thinking thoughts of gratitude.

* You’ll become convinced that you have a great deal to be grateful for.

* Your conviction will begin to formulate into more things for which you can then be grateful, and if my experience is anything to lean on, one of those things will be your new part time job for as a retiree.

If you follow my suggestions, you’ll be putting the Law of Attraction into use toward your career. Your business opportunities will blossom into that part time job for retirees you so desire, and I know that many other opportunities to use this law will occur to you in the process of your life itself.
