AttractAnything! (The Blog)

You email says very emphatically that you “want SO, SO much more than the common everyday stuff.” I hear comments like this often from my coaching clients, and to be honest, there are two BIG problems with this kind of thinking (not trying to give you a hard time – just giving it to your straight). Here’s what I mean:

1. There is an old proverb which I find to be ALWAYS true. Not sometimes, but ALWAYS. The proverb says, “The hungry don’t get fed.”

This means that people who are “hungry” (desperate for something), will NOT get what they want. When you want something so desperately, you send out a strong vibe of “wanting.” But wanting only attracts more wanting–not having. If you really desperately want a girlfriend (for example) you will find it really hard to get one. People are not attracted to wanting (desperation)–they are attracted to “having.”

You’ve heard the saying, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” It’s another way of saying the same thing. The hungry don’t get fed–the FAT get fed (those that have plenty already will get even more). This is HOW the Law of Attraction works. You attract more of what you already have–and whether you physically have it, or just mentally “have” it doesn’t matter at all.

So my first tip to use the law of attraction better is to stop “wanting” anything, and to begin “having it.” This requires you to use your imagination and to suspend disbelief. Practice visualizing yourself having those things. NOT wanting them, and work on keeping that attitude throughout your day to day life. It takes time to make this a habit, but once you do, your life improves about 1000%. I speak from experience here. I had many years of “wanting,” and it wasn’t pretty ,-)

2. You say you want “more from my life than the common, everyday stuff.” I could be wrong, but this sounds like you are not appreciating the “common, everyday stuff.” If so, that could also spell trouble when it comes to using the Law of Attraction (again, I speak from experience, having lived like that for years — I just wish I’d known about the law of attraction or any of these tips back then!).

When we appreciate, we accumulate. And the more you appreciate and are grateful for the simple, everyday things, the more good things you will attract into your life. Graditude is to the Law of Attraction what fuel is to a car — we can’t go anywhere without it!

One of the best law of attracion tips I can give you is to begin practicing gratitude as a way of life. Make a gratitude list every day (maybe 2-3-10 times a day). Keep your mind focused on what is good and right through gratitude. The more you do this, the more it becomes your habitual way of thinking, and it effects the decisions you make, and the “luck” that comes into your life–in business, relationships, everything (we make our own “luck”).
