Years ago, I learned a few Law of Attraction Secrets that changed my life. Today I want to write about one of them.
When I first read The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles I was presented with an idea that was completely foreign to me: “There is no lack, poverty or limitation in the world — there is only abundance.”
At the time, I must confess that I found this idea to be completely absurd. Like many people, I was used to looking at the world in such a way that I assumed that there was a limited amount of everything good — money, property, opportunities, relationships, success — and that my job on this planet (like everyone else’s) was to struggle and fight to get my share of it before the other guy took it away from me.
The truth is, most of us can be forgiven for falling into this lack-based point of view. After all, we are inundated by TV and other media that bombard us with the idea that we are hapless victims in this life, and will be lucky to get anything good at all.
But even though I did not truly believe Wattle’s assertion that there was only abundance in the world, I continued to read his book, curious of what possible justification he could have for making such an outrageous statement. Before long I began to (slowly at first) see exactly what he meant by this claim.
You see, Wattle’s pointed out that all of us choose how we will look at the world. Fearful people choose to see the world as scary; generous people choose to see the world as generous; hateful people choose to see the world as full of hate; wealthy people choose to see the worldas wealthy; and so on, and so on…
As I continued to study the work of Wallace Wattles and other Law of Attraction teachers, I came to see the truth of abundance in the world — and how all limitation, lack or poverty is simply illusion, albeit some times a very persistent one.
You’ve heard that old saying, “there are two sides to every coin.” Well, there are also two ways of looking at anything that happens in your life: you can look at something from the point of view of lack and poverty, or you can look at it from the point of view of wealth and abundance.
Many people do not realize that they have this choice — that they can consciously choose to see anything that happens in the world from a lack-based or wealth-based point of view. Understanding these Law of Attraction Secrets enable you to create the life YOU choose.
Now some of my students understand this point very clearly, but they will still object and say, “yes Jon, I get that; but even if I view something that happens from a wealth-based point of view it still does not change the reality of what is happening — for example, if I lose my job, I can view this from a wealth-based pointed view, but I still don’t have a job!”
I understand this objection very well, but here’s the important point to understand: when you choose to look at things from a wealth-based point of view, it will affect how you RESPOND to the situation. In other words, if you lose your job and you respond to this event from a lack-based point of view, you will likely feel desperate, and you may even accept the first position you are offered, even if it makes you miserable and is poorly paid.
But what if you lose your job and you respond to this from a wealth-based point of view? Your certainty of wealth and abundance will prevent you from accepting a poorly paid position that will make you unhappy — and your confidence and optimism will make you far more attractive to prospective employers who can offer you a good job, one worthy of your wealthy state of mind. You see how this works?
To create wealth in your life you MUST have a wealthy state of mind. This is one of the most important secrets of the Law of Attraction, so I want to say it another way to make sure the point is fully understood:
You can not get rich as long as you continue to have a poor state of mind.
The way you experience the world on the inside — your state of mind — will always be an exact reflection of how you experience the world on the outside. No exceptions. Remember, poverty is a myth–an illusion. Abundance is all. Use these Law of Attraction secrets to create the life YOU want and the wealth and success you deserve!
To your continued wealth and success!
