If you're familiar with The Secret: The Law of Attraction, this is the first ever thing that was introduced to me 7 years ago when I was a newbie to the business venture I am in now. This is the first ever topic my coach has taught me before I learned about the success killers I shared on my previous article. This is what I like about the business. They don't focus on teaching sales. They help you develop the right mindset first and it makes sense. You won't develop the right skills if you have the wrong belief system and mindset after all. This made me realize how powerful our minds can be, powerful enough to attract what we want in life. It gave me goosebumps. The law of attraction is real.
What is law of attraction?
Simply put, law of attraction means "thoughts become things". You may be thinking you don't intend to attract bad things because you don't want them to happen but the law of attraction is not biased. It doesn't matter whether you want what you're attracting or not. It manifests what is dominant in your thoughts. You get more of what you think about. You attract what you focus on whether it is conscious or unconscious.
No one is exempted from the law of attraction. It happens to everyone. Think about the law of gravity. Whether you're a good or a bad person, it has nothing to do with it. You'll fall off the ground regardless of what kind of person you are. Same is true with the law of attraction. No one is exempted from it. The kind of person you are doesn't matter. It only responds to your thoughts.
The good news is that the law of attraction doesn't happen instantly so you have the chance to divert your thoughts and be on track in attracting what you really want. It gives you the chance to have another choice. So better destroy a negative thought the first time it appears while it is in its weakest point.
We can't monitor our thoughts everyday. We have tons of it and it's sometimes hard to tell which of them is dominant. The good news is that there is an alternative way for us to figure what is dominant in our thoughts. It's our feelings and this one makes sense. Our feelings give us a feedback on what our mind is focusing. The fact that you felt something means you think more about it at the moment. That will be the best hint that will make you conscious on what your mind is focusing.
Whatever you're thinking and feeling about today is creating your life. How does it work?
Our mentor mentioned a quote, "Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, they become your destiny."
The process happening in the law of attraction is similar to that.
How does the process of the law of attraction work?
Thoughts
Mindset is everything when it comes to law of attraction. Nothing came out that did not start from the inside. Fix your mind problem first before you’ll be able to fix your life problem, a negative mind will never give you a positive life. Feed your mind with positive thoughts and make it a habit. Another way to attract what you want in life is to make a dreamboard or vision board about it. That will always remind you, making it more dominant in your thoughts. Lastly, pray for it and claim that it will happen.
Words
What we always think about manifests in our feelings. This manifests in our words later on. Before you knew it, your thoughts have become the mantra you utter daily. Watch your words. It will manifest in your actions later on and you attract what you act on.
Actions
The more you think and say about something, you'll notice that it will manifest in your actions later on. You passionately act on what you focus on. When you get used to it, it becomes your routine. You develop a habit. Make sure it's a good one.
Habits
What you do repeatedly becomes a habit and it's hard to break. Make it a habit to turn negative things to positive ones so you can do what it takes to attract the results you want to get. Don't let worrying become a habit. It's like unconsciously praying for something you don't want to happen. Focus on your reward, your dreams.
What we Attract
Our character
Whatever habits we develop will always shape our character. It becomes the behavior that reflects who we are.
People
We attract who we are. We attract like-minded people. We attract people that manifest our thoughts. If negativity becomes a habit, we attract negative and angry people. If we have positive habits, we attract positive people. Our mentor also mentioned that we are the average of the five people we spend most of our time with. So we should choose the right people who can help us attract what we want in life.
Circumstances
Just like people, we also attract situations that manifest our thoughts. It is very important to make positive thinking a habit. It becomes a chain reaction that affects your circumstances. Good things happen to those who have a positive outlook while doing positive actions.
Cycle
Finally, we attract a cycle. Have you witnessed or experienced the same thing happening over and over? It's because the thoughts, words, actions and habits that manifest consistently become a cycle that is powerful and hard to break. This is the life we attracted.
My Personal Encounter with the Law of Attraction
Being aware of the law of attraction gave me goosebumps. I reflected on my past experiences and I realized that I attracted them consciously and unconsciously.
The negative situation I attracted
Way back 2009, I had the worst financial situation of my life. I always say "I don't have money." That feeling manifested in my actions. Feeling that I'm too broke, I acted like one. I always do cost cutting and I'm too afraid to take risks. I attracted situations that took away money from me. I lost my job. I lost opportunities to earn more because of this. Later on, I lost money. Nothing left, which makes my "I don't have money" mantra become a reality. It all started with one negative thought. Now I understand that it doesn't matter whether you want to attract something or not. The universe responds to your dominant thoughts.
The good things I attracted
Upon learning about the law of attraction, I started to change my outlook and mindset. This has opened opportunities that help me get the results I want. I attracted the business I've been looking for. God sent me angels thru the people who helped in my endeavors. I also attracted like-minded people who are artists and anime lovers like me and now I collaborate with them in my side hustles that lead to more opportunities. Everything started with one single thought, leading to a strong decision that is focused on my goals and I passionately worked on them. When you decide, it is where the law of attraction become the strongest. That's how powerful our minds can be. Let's harness the power of the law of attraction by having a positive mindset and outlook in life and have the strong decision to work on the life we dream of. Let's attract and create the life that we want.
Changing our thoughts and words are first steps, but what’s often overlooked in the law of attraction is feelings. Feeling what it would be like to already have what you desire is the key component. Also the reason why many people don’t do well, because they’re in fear. You can think and affirm money, but if you’re scared pf not being able pay your bills it is all in vein 💙
