For most
people who learn about the law of attraction and start using it in their life, the biggest challenge
is to take responsibility for the things manifesting in our life that we really
don’t like much.
We often fall into excuses like, “Well, I might have attracted some bad
things to me, but he/she did so and so, so it definitely wasn’t all me!”
I know these excuses as well as anyone, I find myself doing it too sometimes,
but I personally believe that there is no “but” when it comes to
the law of attraction. Whatever bad you have in your life, you single-handedly
attracted. If this situation involves another person, they might have been attracting
bad things to them as well, making them play a “role” in your negative
attraction, but their actions are not part of the reason why you’ve attracted
bad things.
Other people do not attract in our life; they can happen to be an extra, or
even a supporting actor in our life “movie”, but you are the writer/director,
and you can not blame an actor for something that’s wrong in the script
you’ve written.
It doesn’t matter if we are talking about people we are very close to
or mere acquaintances, the people around us are never to blame when we feel
bad. If your spouse did something that made you feel bad, you attracted a situation
where your spouse was going to make you feel bad. Of course, your spouse attracted
the same situation, but the part where you got hurt would not have been there
had you not attracted it.
We have a neighbor that is very loud at times. The interesting thing is that
this neighbor didn’t use to be loud, I never heard him and didn’t
really think much about him until one day he was playing very loud repetitive
music that could be plainly heard from my home office. This was a one time event.
But I became stressed because I had a lot of work to do, and responded to it
as if it was a long-running, non-stop annoyance. I even visualized going next
door and telling my neighbor exactly what an inconsiderate jerk I thought he
was.
What do you think happened? After focusing with passion on what a loud and
inconsiderate neighbor I had, what do you know; the neighbor started being loud
more and more often, day and night. As pre-programmed, I got more and more annoyed
until I realized the loop I was in.
I had to start visualizing the opposite. I tried to notice all the times I
didn’t hear the neighbor, and focus on all the times he had bee really
helpful and considerate. I still heard some noise every now and then, but I
didn’t let it bother me. Rather than seeing him as an inconsiderate jerk,
I tried to imagine that he was loud because he decided to do something good
for himself, like was working out. Or maybe he was cleaning the house before
his wife came home. He was listening to loud electronica because music was his
passion etc.
Gradually I stopped noticing the sounds all together, and not just because
I was blocking them out; my neighbor is simply not loud anymore! The law of attraction is truly the gift that keeps on giving; as long as we focus on something,
we will continue to attract it to us. It’s up to us to decide what the
gift is going to be.
