These are stories of people whose situations were beyond their control and only changed by connection with God. In a Law of Attraction context, you could say that these people went from living under negativity into positivity.
They chose to accept a hand out of their circumstances, made a U-turn away from negativity and thrived in their newfound positive environment. Don’t be mistaken and think that every Law of Attraction story is about winning the lottery or getting a new luxury car.
That’s not true. Yes, you can ask for what you need, believe it and receive it. You can also ask for many unseen needs such as confidence, boldness and willingness to move forward. These are the requests that take a grieving widow with three young children and no job from bankruptcy to redefining her self-image, seeking training and securing a financial future for her children.
A man gambles away his money, loses his family and goes to jail for fraud. While he is there, he can see ‘bars or stars’ outside his cell. When he’s ready to grasp the law of attraction as a force for good, not something else he can scam, then he can move forward.
No, the prison doors don’t suddenly spring open. He serves his time while visualizing and reframing his future. Once he leaves prison, he leaves his old self behind and is ready to claim his positive self in a new life.
Those are the kind of stories you’ll read in any collection of Law of Attraction experiences. Are you ready to re-write your story? Will you allow the Law of Attraction to work in your life?
You can make the turn away from negativity, lack, loss and other deficits that hold you back from where you want to be. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by practicing the law of attraction. Rewrite your story, and then share it with others.
Remember – energy is an amazing force. You can't ‘see’ electricity but when you plug your toaster into the power outlet, it has the power to toast the bread. Positive energy is there for you to plug into by using the Law of Attraction.
But nothing happens to bring change into your life until you plug in. Just like an electrical plug, it has to make full contact with the power source to operate the appliance. A poor connection will not transmit the power.
In applying the Law of Attraction, you have to plug in all the way. You don't try attraction – you apply attraction. That's a connection to what the universe has to offer!
I recommend Heather Mathews’ Law of Attraction program ‘Manifestation Miracle.’
Why Doesn't the Law of Attraction Work for Everyone?
As soon as you say that you practice the Law of Attraction, you'll hear the detractors coming at you. ‘I tried it for two months and got nothing.’ ‘Yeah, I won a vacation in a contest – but the taxes were huge!’ ‘Who can be positive all the time? That's just foolishness.’
That's what you'll hear from people who claim to be Law of Attraction dropouts. The fact is, they never really dropped in. They heard or read something about the Law of Attraction, but they didn't really practice it.
No wonder they didn’t get the results they wanted. The Law of Attraction works. What doesn’t work is a half-hearted attempt to use it like a catalog ordering form. It's not a ‘blab it and grab it’ concept.
If it were magic, then you could call out what you want, wave a magic wand and it would appear. The Law of Attraction is not magic – it's energy. Energy can be redirected, but that takes focus and effort.
The Law of Attraction does nothing for pessimists who hold out their hand while snarling at the process. Let's say a person decides to test this by proclaiming, ‘I want to see a Ferrari in my garage tomorrow.’
That person did not sincerely ask, is not sure if he believes in this, but would gladly receive if it happens. The next day, he sees his dented old truck in the garage and says, ‘See? That didn't work at all!’
Of course the Law of Attraction didn’t work – because it was not applied properly. What if you have a sincere desire to learn the Law of Attraction and still don't see results? Look around at what has come into your life.
Did you ask for tranquility, only to lose your high-pressure job? After losing that job, you found the courage to walk away from the corporate world and take a lesser paying job in an art museum.
In order to bring tranquility into your life, you had to lose first before you win. Because energy is fluid, you had to get out of a negative, stressful path in order to receive the tranquility you desired on a positive, calming career path.
Belief is the center point on which the Law of Attraction balances. The universe holds endless opportunities – whether or not you believe you are worthy of them. If you don't believe, the opportunities will not invade your life.
It's only when you believe that you can have a new opportunity and you deserve that opportunity do you actually put yourself in a position to receive it. Putting yourself in a position to receive takes time and effort that is sometimes ignored and never engaged.
If the ideal mate for you is in Atlanta and you’re not confident enough about your abilities to accept the transfer to the Atlanta office, then you’re not in a position to meet that person.
Your energies may connect in a future time and place when you really focus on it, but look at the time you waste by missing the opportunity. The Law of Attraction is part of an orderly universe that at times must set up the circumstances by delaying one opportunity until you are in a position to receive.
That's not a denial – that's an orderly transition.
Over the centuries, possibility thinkers have added to the ways that you can tap into the energy of the universe for what you want or need. These are more than techniques – they’re proven methods that you can practice and refine as you choose.
The key is separating the right motivation from the wrong one. The wrong motivation is to become something that you are not and think that people will be fooled. That can be done with deceit and acting, but a motive so negative is in complete opposition to the Law of Attraction.
The right motivation for applying the Law of Attraction is to become the best person you can be by fully exercising your potential. There are some ways you can support the right motivation.
Personal Coaching is ideal for connecting with another positive thinker. Your coach can show you other techniques to use in practicing the Law of Attraction. You may also need a personal coach to help you make the transition into new opportunities that opened up for you because you attracted them into your life.
The Wrong Way to Use the Law of Attraction
A big mistake that people make with the Law of Attraction is found in their expectations. They fail to completely understand how the universe works and they expect results from what they want to change in their lives to happen right away.
A mistake is thinking that the Law of Attraction is magic. You must understand that the Law of Attraction is not a genie in a bottle. You don’t change the way you think, focus on what you want, let go of the negativity and then suddenly everything is exactly what and how you want it to be.
The place you are in life and what’s going on in your life right now is a manifestation of the Law of Attraction that you’ve already lived. In other words what you have today is part of the cause and effect for the day you already lived.
Another mistake is to focus on what you don’t have. I want a big house because I don’t have a big house. My house is too small, etc. You’re focusing on
