If you have read The Secret<\/a>\"\", or if you\u2019ve watched the DVD<\/a>\"\", then you know what it is trying to help us understand: that if we want something, all we have to do is believe we already have it and it will be ours. Sounds simple enough, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the problem: many people don\u2019t even know what the heck they really want. They think<\/em> they want a billion dollars. I used to think that was what I<\/em> wanted. Then I slowly realized a very important detail: why did I want a billion dollars?<\/em> Without the why, there really was no meaning, and therefore no passion or true belief that I would actually acquire the billion dollars. I didn\u2019t really believe it, and I realize now that it\u2019s because I really didn\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, how could I not want a billion dollars? Actually, it\u2019s pretty simple. The people that I\u2019ve researched that have billions of dollars deal with daily interactions that when I\u2019m being honest with my circumstances, and myself, I would never want to deal with. I want popularity, but I do not want to be a celebrity. To me, there is a huge difference. Celebrities are in the public eye even if they don\u2019t want to be. Every intimate detail of their lives is shared with the world; even before they themselves have really had a chance to absorb the circumstances they are experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know of any billionaires that aren\u2019t<\/em> in the public eye. They all deal with public scrutiny. I don\u2019t want to deal with that, really ever. I\u2019m a naturally introverted person. I\u2019m working on becoming more outgoing and friendly, but the fact remains that I more often would rather not be the center of attention. Being a social butterfly is not an innate skill for me. Having every detail of my life broadcast by other people without my permission, and without my having a chance to prepare for it first is just unappealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems counter-intuitive when considering the fact that I am revealing some very personal details on my own blog. But that\u2019s precisely my point; I\u2019m<\/em> the one revealing them. I have full control over what I say and don\u2019t say. I have the ability to leave details out. I\u2019m not in the public eye, and I can keep most of my life private when I choose to. Losing that choice is not something I would like to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So being a billionaire is not what I really wanted. What I really wanted was freedom, enough wealth to do the things in life that I wanted to do, and the ability to expand my horizons and help others do great things in life. I am a coach. It\u2019s the position I\u2019m good at. I\u2019m not a glory hound. I don\u2019t like being the star player, but I love<\/em> helping others be the star. It\u2019s where I fit. Knowing that and accepting it has allowed me to focus on how<\/em> I will apply that to my life and my goals. When I visualize my future, it is built around that as my foundation. It\u2019s why I started a consulting firm, and why I\u2019ve decided to expand my thoughts and writing here on my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There Are Two Types of Reactions to the Law of Attraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have read Napoleon Hill\u2019s Think and Grow Rich<\/a>\"\". I have read The Secret<\/a>\"\" and watched the DVD<\/a>\"\". I have watched What the Bleep Do We Know!?<\/a>\"\" and I have read Beyond the Bleep<\/a>\"\". I have read The Answer<\/a>\"\". I have read other books that base the foundation of their message on the Law of Attraction. I don\u2019t know everything about it, but I feel confident in the basic principles of the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, there are two types of reactions by people that are first introduced to The Secret or the Law of Attraction: 1) \u201cThis is awesome!\u201d and 2) \u201cThis is total BS, and you\u2019re a loser for believing in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first group typically tries to capitalize on the power of visualization and manifestation immediately. They will create vision-boards, and meditate for hours on end about the things they want. Most of them learn quickly that it doesn\u2019t work that way. Sure, those are elements of what it takes; but they are not everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second group is blind to the reality that this stuff does work; they are clouded by negative beliefs and by their own lack of success in the past. Interestingly, some of these people that say they don\u2019t believe in these principles still enact them on a daily basis. For example, there are some athletes out there that do not believe in these principles when you ask them about them directly, but when worded differently it will be found that they actually do. This is evidenced by the fact that virtually all athletes set goals for themselves, they see themselves attaining those goals, and eventually, they do. The marketing-savvy packaging of movies and books that talk about this phenomenon clouds people\u2019s ability to believe the messages contained within them \u2013 at least in the new-agey, feel-good way they are presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others in the second group have simply chosen not to believe in these principles. They have intentionally chosen to accept whatever fate lies before them. They don\u2019t make goals. They don\u2019t strive for anything in particular. They simply go through life, going through the motions, without any sense of purpose or direction. They often ridicule others for dreaming of bigger things, and many times they find themselves in disbelief when they see others improving their lives around them while they stay exactly where they\u2019ve always been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be blunt, I really have no desire to try and convert the non-believers. For me, that is not my place. Those that want more out of this life will naturally be drawn to these principles. If they happen to reach out to me, then I will share my experience and knowledge. Those that parade around trying to force these beliefs (or any beliefs for that matter) on others make the situation worse, and many times are pushing people further away from discovering their own truth and belief in the principles. No, I will share my beliefs with others, but I will never try and force those beliefs on them; that\u2019s just egotistical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fall into the first group. I believe in these principles. Especially because I have seen them work directly in my own life and in the lives of others around me. I have experienced small successes (and some bigger successes) by integrating the principles into my life and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Using The Law of Attraction Has Done For Me So Far<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using the Law of Attraction is still an incredibly new and scary thing for me. I still really have no idea what I\u2019m doing. I haven\u2019t learned yet how to really harness the power of belief. That said; I have experienced some amazing transformations in my life since I learned the basic principles. From the time I was first introduced to What the Bleep Do We Know, to now, I have experienced the following positive circumstances in my life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I started my first, second, and third businesses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I earned more in one year as a businessperson than I had ever earned before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I met my now best friend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. I met my wife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. I gained a son.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. I doubled my income every year and am on track to double it this year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. I have increasingly narrowed in on my true passion and purpose in life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. I learned how to let go of my own disbeliefs (still working on this one).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. I went from living in a one-bedroom apartment and an old beat-up truck to living in a nice house with a nice car and other goodies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. I went from having no ability to pay for insurance to being fully covered without fear of how I\u2019m going to pay for it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There are many, many more positives, but these are the first ten I could think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These Principles Are Not Just For \u201cNew-Agey\u201d Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Regardless of your personal belief system, these principles can be found through religious and philosophical texts. The bible describes this in multiple passages; the most common of which is paraphrased as \u201cask and you shall receive.\u201d I\u2019m not familiar enough with other religious texts to describe this principle being used in them, but I\u2019ve been told it can be found fairly easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even so-called atheists have the ability to believe in these principles. Though they require some level of faith, they are principles that are driven by the human spirit, by our conscious desires and actions. Many misconstrue the idea of belief and faith into something that has to be spiritual or religious. It doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Real Secret: Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If I sit and dream about making $75,000 by March 1, 2011, but I don\u2019t do anything else, chances are pretty solid that I won\u2019t<\/em> see anything near $75,000. However, if I put a few powerful components into action, I\u2019ll have a pretty good chance of making it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First, I find a way to visualize myself already having the money in my hand. This can be challenging to accomplish. Short of knowing a drug dealer with $75,000 just sitting in his closet that he is willing to let me near, I have to come up with something a bit more creative. For me, the solution was to write myself a check for $75,000 and date it March 1. In the memo, I reference how I made the money. Notice something important here, the memo is written in past tense (made \u2013 not make).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Second I write down the story of how I went from January to March 1 and made the $75,000. I write the words that will become the real-life story. I write it in past tense. I highlight all the details of the story, including the challenges that I faced and how I overcame those challenges. I write about what I did to earn the money and how it started coming in. I write about the work I had to put in to make it all happen. Then, I read my story every day, reminding myself how I did it, and then play out the actions in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Action is the key to any success. We cannot simply wish things into existence; we have to make them happen ourselves. Even Aladdin couldn\u2019t just wish himself a prince; he had to learn how to actually be a prince to be successful at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But It Doesn\u2019t Work. (Without Belief)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I can already see the nay-sayers shaking their heads and I can hear them proclaiming, \u201cyeah right, I tried that crap, it doesn\u2019t work.\u201d There are usually two reasons people don\u2019t experience success with this: 1) they didn\u2019t really believe (similar to my experience with wanting a billion dollars), or 2) they visualize something unrealistic. The Law of Attraction isn\u2019t magic. It isn\u2019t a genie in a bottle. It is the belief in an idea. Through that belief, we are able to motivate ourselves and pursue the idea without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s the Worst Thing About Believing The Law of Attraction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Other than the silly looks I might get when I share that I believe in this idea that seems so new-agey and full of boloney, the worst side effect I\u2019ve experienced so far is a mildly better life. Even when I don\u2019t get the things in life that I visualize myself getting, I\u2019ve figured out I still get closer to those things when I focus on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cShoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you\u2019ll land among the stars.\u201d \u2013 Les Brown<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Les Brown had it right. That is a great way to aim in life. I have found that my personal rendition of  this perspective works really well when discussing the Law of Attraction and goals\/visualization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Shoot for the stars, and you\u2019ll probably at least get to the moon.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s my point: the worst thing that I\u2019ve experienced with the Law of Attraction is not hitting the goal I went for, but I have always been better off for going for it. By aiming high, it doesn\u2019t really matter if I actually hit the goal. Sure, that is what I really<\/em> want to happen; but if it doesn\u2019t, I realize that there is something deeper holding me back \u2013 my own disbelief, my own lack of focus or intention, or something else. Setting goals, writing them down, and visualizing their achievement really yields nothing negative when pursued with the right mindset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
