AttractAnything! (the blog)

Is the law of attraction always working, or only working every now and then when you want it to? When asked, most people will answer that of course the law of attraction isn’t only working when you want it to, but if you look at their lives, they might just live as if it did.

It is easy for us to look at other people and see what they are doing wrong when it comes to the law of attraction, but much harder to take the same look at ourselves. One thing that is repeated over and over again in almost all the material dealing with the law of attraction is the importance of taking responsibility.

We accept this concept in theory, and we might even be able to look at our past and admit to attracting to us the bad stuff that happened. Our problem comes when we are asked to do this in everyday life. It is hard to stop pointing fingers around at other people, blaming them for causing us problems or making us feel bad.

It is hard because we have years of experience with the finger pointing, and a lot of us still have a hard time taking responsibility without feeling that there is something wrong with us or blaming ourselves for the mistakes we made.

As hard as it might be, it is important to take responsibility. The finger pointing and blaming other people only attracts more things to place blame for. As harsh as it may sound, it is never them and always you. Whatever problems you have in your life, you created, and only by doing something different can you create something else.

The first thing you need to do in order to get a better life is to stop pointing to others when something goes wrong or you don’t feel good and start owning up to it. Rather than focusing on what someone else did or didn’t do to you, try to focus on what you can do for someone else.

If it’s been a while since you first heard about the law of attraction and stared implementing it in your life, you might find that you have hit "the slump." "The slump" is my word for that period of time that comes after the first excitement over the discovery of the law of attraction has settled, and you start feeling a little disillusioned
because your millions have not manifested themselves.

If you are anything like me and a lot of other people, when you first started using attraction, you were baffled and exited at how it actually worked. After a while though, it may seem like it got harder to use the law of attraction, or like it somehow stopped working.

It is very common for people to hit "the slump" and give up on using the law of attraction all together. What happens when we get to this point is usually that attraction is not as new and exiting to us anymore, and we don’t dedicate as much time as we used to on the practices that will help us create the life we want. We gradually slip into our old, comfortable habits, and forget that as much as we might like them, they could have a negative effect on our lives.

If this is where you’re at, it is time to do a restart and go back to the basics! When was the last time you made or even looked at a vision board? When was the last time you meditated on money coming your way? As with almost anything else, after the novelty of it all wears off, we tend to not put the same amount of energy and attention to what we want to attract.

I suggest you start your back to basics approach by writing a gratitude list. Looking around you and listing what you are grateful for will steer your mind off negative feelings of discontent (and we all know what they will attract to you).

Here are a few more things you can do to get back on track:

1.Write a new set of goals. You might want different things today than you did when you first started.

2.Make a new vision board. You’re probably so used to the old one that you no longer even really see it.

3. Pay attention to the negative influences you get from the media and the people around you, and change what you focus on.

4. Set of time to meditate on wealth and visualize money coming your way.

5. Study the people you want to be like.

6. Read the books written by the old masters of the law of attraction like Wallace D. Wattles and Napoleon Hill.

These are just a few tips to help you get back on the horse. If you hit “the slump,” don’t waste time on doubt or worries; take action to move forward instead.

Stop looking at what you think is reality, and remind yourself that what you see around you today is the past, not the future.

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!
