The Law of Attraction is the Key to Everything….

And understanding how it works and what surrounds it is essential. I haven’t posted in quite a few months because my every waking moment was spent either at work or training for the New York City Marathon which is in two weeks now. But I have been listening over and over again to Abraham and have learned so much that I am going to begin to share with you all. I’m also getting ready to have another webinar and another coaching class after the marathon is over. We had such a successful inaugural class that I want others to have that opportunity as well. I will open up for coaching hours in November too so it’s going to be busy at Getting Unstuck, LLC because I want to help you all “Get Unstuck” and get moving toward the goals you have.

This is a short “welcome back” type post today but I just wanted to remind you of the three basic concepts put out by Abraham in “Ask and it is Given”, the Teachings of Abraham.

First, you Ask – you do this with every desire you have and you do this when you come across things you do NOT want in your life. Because immediately you know what you DO want. So, you have now put out into the Universe what it is you want.

Second, it is Given – this is the work of the Universe, not you. The Universe hears your desire (what you asked for) and it immediately goes to work to provide it for you.

Third, you have to ALLOW it into your life – this is where people say that the Law of Attraction does or doesn’t work. If they are good at “allowing”, all things come to them and they agree that it works. If they have resistance and do not “allow” the Universe to give them what they have asked for, then they do not get their manifestation and they say the Law of Attraction does not work.

The Law of Attraction ALWAYS works. Your job is to figure out what it is you are allowing into your life – resistance or acceptance. If you’re always focused on the lack, the absence of what you want, the “not having it”, then you will receive more of that but the Law of Attraction is working because it is bringing you more of what you are focusing on.

My job as a coach and leader is to help you stop focusing on the lack but to allow the things you have asked for – the things you want – to come into your life.

We all need coaches. As the weeks go by, you’ll see how that plays into your everyday life.

How The Circle of Influence Concept Applies To The Law Of Attraction

Have you heard of Stephen Covey’s concept of Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence (from “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”)? This is a great way to focus your efforts when working with the Law of Attraction. The Circle of Concern contains all those things of interest to us essentially. It includes everything that happens in the economy, at the PTA, what others do at work, etc. The Circle of Influence is within the Circle of Concern. However, it contains those things about which we can do something. Let’s see how that applies to the Law of Attraction.

The Circle of Influence is where you actually have influence on things. You can change your life by concentrating on what’s in your Circle of Influence. When you veer outside of that circle and start talking about or worrying about everything in your Circle of Concern, your focus is dissipated and the energy you need to put on to things and events you can change is also spread around. It’s like trying to light a fire on a desert island by hoping the sun will find the right branch and then it will light on fire.

On that island, you stand a much better chance of starting a fire by using a magnifying glass (or your own eyeglasses as you’ve seen in the movies). That glass pulls the energy of the sun and compresses it down to one single area of concentration where it can point all its heat and start your fire.

Working with the Law of Attraction is similar. Remember that the Law of Attraction is always working – whether you’re aware of it or not or whether you believe in it or not. Many people think they are “working” it but they flounder around from thinking ‘this’ to thinking ‘that’ depending on the day or on their moods. That is why we teach that you have to identify your own goals and then define them in tremendous detail. That way you have impressed your subconscious mind with exactly what you want.

Once you’ve embedded this goal in your mind, your primary job is to continue to focus on achieving it and never waver from this focus. How do you do that? Well, you concentrate on the things that are within your Circle of Influence, NOT those that are outside of this circle. Being overly concerned and obsessed with things in your Circle of Concern will keep your energy and vibrations from pouring out to the Universe like a spotlight. If you stay within that circle where you actually have control of what happens, you will be able to bring about your desires and do so more quickly. For this is the location where you have influence and control.

Apply focus in everything you do. Stay within your Circle of Influence and let things happen as they will within your Circle of Concern. Do everything you can to ensure that your Circle of Influence is powerful and positive to set the stage for the Law of Attraction to work to your advantage.

This is only a taste of the Law of Attraction. Did you know that the Law of Attraction is only one of many universal laws that control our lives? Find out how to create the life you want. Visit The Art of Making Things Happen.

Applied Psychology

This is from Napoleon Hill’s Golden Rule but it is so pertinent to us. Pay attention here….

The human mind is an intricate affair.  One of its characteristics is the fact that all impressions that reach the subconscious portion of the mind are recorded in groups which harmonize and which are apparently closely related. 

When one of these impressions is called into the conscious mind, there is a tendency to recall all of the others with it.

One single act or word that causes a feeling of doubt to arise in a person’s mind is sufficient to call into his conscious mind all of the experiences which caused him or her to be doubtful.  Through the law of association, all similar emotions, experiences or sense impressions which reach the mind are recorded together so that the recalling of one has a tendency to bring out the others.

Just as a small pebble will, when thrown in to the water, start a chain of ripples that will multiply rapidly, the subconscious mind has a tendency to bring into consciousness all of the associated or closely related emotions or sense impressions which it has stored when one of them is aroused.  To arouse a feeling of doubt in a person’s mind has a tendency to bring to the surface every doubt-building experience that person ever had.

That is why successful salespeople endeavor to keep away from subjects that may arouse the buyer’s “chain of doubt impressions.”  The able salesperson has long since learned that to “knock” a competitor may result in bringing to the buyer’s conscious mind certain negative emotions which may make it impossible for the salesperson to neutralize.

The principle applies to and controls every emotion and every sense impression that is lodged in the human mind.  Take the feeling of fear, for example.  The moment we permit one single emotion that is related to fear to reach the conscious mind, it brings with it all of its unsavory relations.  A feeling of courage cannot claim the attention of our conscious mind while a feeling of fear is there.  One must supplant the other.  They cannot become roommates because they do not harmonize.

Since every thought held in the conscious mind has a tendency to draw to it every other harmonious or related thought, the feelings, thoughts and emotions which claim the attention of the conscious mind are backed by a regular army of supporting soldiers who stand ready to aid them in their work.

If you place in your mind, through the principle of suggestion, the ambition to succeed in any undertaking, you will see that your latent ability is aroused and your powers automatically increased.  Positive thoughts attract other positive thoughts and give you the confidence to overcome failure and achieve success.  If you neutralize your negative thoughts, replace them with their positive equivalent and reinforce them through the power of suggestion, you can reach any goal you set for yourself.

No one ever becomes a “doer” without first becoming a “dreamer.” The architect first draws the picture of a building in his mind and then places it on paper. And so we must all see the object of our labors in our minds before we can see them in reality.

How does this apply to your everyday life. I know it hit home for me.

What do you think? I bet most of you can apply it in a negative way but can you call forth a way this has affected you positively?

Take positive action: Write them down. Then start dreaming yourself!

What Are You Giving Life To?

What Are You Giving Life To?

Do you really understand that you are where you are because you created the life you have? I know that’s hard for many people to accept but you have the power, you have the control and you have the ability to create things.

Since you have this power, why not harness the power in a positive way and produce what you want. “The Art of Making Things Happen” is your study guide, your handbook for creating everything you want.

Scientists tell us that everything, visible and invisible, is energy. This energy permeates the Universe. We can clearly see this in our physical world where everything has a molecular structure of basic elements.

The closer we come to understanding the Universe, the better we understand its oneness. The energy that permeates the Universe is called “Substance.” It is the foundation of all existing things. It contains the seeds, ideas, wisdom and intelligence that inspire and stimulate us to think, desire, dream, have faith and make things happen.

All things are created from and are comprised of this Substance. This energy works in and through the minds of human beings. When we ask for ideas, we receive the wisdom, understanding and inspiration we want. As we imagine and picture our goals and desires, we mold the Substance of the Universe to that thing we have chosen.

Our thoughts, beliefs, words and actions mold the invisible Substance into its visible form. The invisible Substance or energy molds itself to our choices and beliefs, and then presents itself into our visible world.

One of the first things you learn in Metaphysics is that we are life-giving, spiritual beings. You give life by thinking, feeling and believing. You give life knowingly and unknowingly. You become the qualities you give life to.

You give life to praise and appreciation. You give life by condemnation and criticism. Even unwelcome conditions would not have come about if life had not been given to them. Whatever you think and feel strongly about, believe in and react to is what receives life.

It can be something you want, just as well as something you don’t want. Fear gives life to and strengthens that which you fear. Hatred gives life to and strengthens the nature of the person or character of the thing hated. Anger gives life to and strengthens the individual to whom you direct your anger.

When you give life through love, praise, appreciation and happy attitudes, you reap a harvest of blessings. When you give life through anger, worry and criticism, you reap a harvest of misery.

Even more importantly, by giving life to the negative qualities in another person or situation through criticism, anger or condemnation, those qualities are strengthened in them. You also strengthen those qualities within yourself.

When you know how energy lives, you have no excuse for not having everything you want. You have no excuse for not being happy.

Whatever you give life to is manifested in our world. If there is something you would rather not have, you can stop giving it energy by taking your mind off of it. You give life to anything you choose.
