Trust The Universe.
Do you remember the time when you were really, really, really in "love" with someone that you would do anything to get that person to "love" you back?
Oh, come on, you know what I'm talking about.
The moment you see that person your heart starts racing, and you get very nervous. Then you saw or heard something that gave you a hint that the feelings might be mutual.
And the more you thought about that person, the more you wanted him or her as your boyfriend or girlfriend.
So you went for it and pursued the person. Just random "Hi"s at first, then lunch's
together. Then maybe you asked for a dinner date but the person declined, so you decided to call the person every single night and then SMS-ed him or her every few hours asking "What are you doing?" until he or she stopped replying your messages.
Did you realise that the more you wanted and needed that person, the more he or she tries to run away from you?
The Law of Attraction works the same way.
Every single time you need an outcome to happen as opposed to wanting it but being able to go without it.
This is one of the paradoxes of life, and you have to fully understand this concept before you can truly realise the power of the Law of Attraction.
When you want something but can still be fulfilled and happy without having it, the faster the Universe will bring what you asked for to you.
Does that make sense? No?
All right, remember in step 3 I gave you a tip that you can get the Law of Attraction to work for you simply by asking for something and having gratitude for what you already have.
When you are grateful you are telling the Universe that you appreciate what It has given to you, and that creates more room in your life for more.
more things and experiences that will bring you even more gratitude i.e. what you asked for.
This is almost like there's a Law of Attraction working inside the process of getting the Law of Attraction to work for you.
So you can say, it's (Law of Attraction) squared, which makes manifesting something much faster.
Now you may be asking yourself "But how do I have gratitude? My life is not really where I want it to be – I just failed my Math Exam, I recently lost my hand phone, and to top it all off, my hamster died!"
OKAY, don't rub off that negative energy on me now, just kidding. I mean, it's not like you could even if you wanted to.
Here's the secret: As soon as you realise that what you want is not really what it appears to be, you can choose to be happy and grateful now.
What we asked for in Step 2 is really wearing a disguise that can take the form of grades, money, cars and even people.
So when we take the masks off, we realise that what we want is at times importance, at others approval, usually appreciation and more commonly, success.
But the common denominator of all the above is happiness and love.
And the sooner you realise this is readily available ALL AROUND YOU now, you can choose to be happy, loved and grateful NOW.
If you have a hard time doing this, start small.
You can start by saying thanks for having the ability to read this.
You can start by saying thanks for being able to walk.
You can start by saying thanks for having another day on God's Green Earth.
You can start by saying thanks for being able to spend time and laugh with your loved ones.
Whatever it is, feel grateful for the life you have now and all will be fine.
STOP: Before we get to the next profound concept, I want you to get this crystal clear:
"Yes, I Did That!"
"Yes, I Did That!"
In the "Attractor Factor", Dr Joe Vitale recollected an event that occurred at the grave of P.T. Barnum, one of America's first millionaires.
He found 7 words engraved on Barnum's tombstone that would radically change the way you look at the Law of Attraction and the speed at which it will work for you.
But before I do, where do you think your desires and goals come from?
Would you agree with me if I told you that your goals come from your Ego?
They come from your need to feel loved, accepted, important, appreciated, and for attention – everything that's self-serving.
Now what does that mean to you?
It means that you goals need to come from a place of Higher Self. The Law of Attraction would work for you more effectively if (going back to step 1) your goal is aligned to what your purpose in life is.
So, if your natural Gift comes in the form of Teaching, then your intention for Step 2 would be "Helping 10 more students get straight A's in their final Exams by enrolling them into my tuition programme" and not "Earning a higher income from my tuition programme by enrolling 10 more students."
It's quite easy to see why the Universe would bring to you the former intention.
Which brings us back to the 7 words on P.T. Barnum's tombstone that will rapidly change the way you look at the Law of Attraction.
Can you already guess what it is?
"Not My Will But Thine Be Done"
Read that again. Let it seep into your mind.
I might not know what's your religion, or even if you have one for that matter. But I believe you know that there's a Higher Power, a God, a Divinity, The Universe or whatever you might call it.
Remember in Step 2, we added the line," this or something better"?
That is to signal to the Universe that although we might have tried our best to align ourselves with what It has planned for us, in the grander scheme of things, we might be
wrong and sometimes we don't get what we want.
Instead we might fail drastically and that could be a signal from the Universe that It has something better planned for us.
Napolean Hill said it best when he said "Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage", in his classic "Think & Grow Rich".
In Jack Canfield's "The Success Principles", his first principle revealed the formula E + R = O which stands for Event + Response = Outcome.
So that means that if we look for what is good in a potentially crippling experience, we will find the good in it no matter how bad it truly is.
We can use the same formula here by looking for opportunities when met with failure.
For instance, when my Achilles Tendon ruptured November last year, I was very upset at the thought that I can't enjoy a game of soccer anymore.
However, the 6 months when I was bedridden proved to be a transitional time for me as I started looking for ways to earn an income from home. It proved to be a catalyst for improving my business knowledge and financial IQ which will definitely be a life skill.
something better.
Not getting too attached to the outcome and open to receiving the outcome we request, we will receive it or something better
