What is the Law of attraction?

First let's clean up some misconceptions about the Law of Attraction that have gone haywire in the hands of some clever marketing gurus...

The Law of Attraction is not some big "Secret" that was etched on tablets, buried by a secret society, and now is finally discovered and revealed. It is a simple and basic principle taught openly for hundreds of years.

You can't just sit on your tush in your living room imagining checks coming into your mailbox. You won't have that living room for long. You have to ACT on your thoughts. You have to walk out your door and be pro-active in making things happen to get what you want in life. "Doing" has to follow "Thinking."

It's not some mysterious, esoteric voodoo, as it sometimes sounds like it is being described.

This is how the Law of Attraction works:

What you think you are drawing (or attracting) into your life has always existed-you are now just seeing it. Example: If I ask you to recount the number of Volkswagen Bugs you have seen on the road in the last week, it would probably be very few, if any. If I CHALLENGED you to see how many VW bugs you can count in the next week, I bet you would be shocked at how many you would see. Here's the Million dollar question-did you attract VW Bugs into your life all of a sudden, or did you start FOCUSING your attention on something that has been surrounding you all the time?

We are surrounded with billions of sensory (visual, audio, physical) inputs of information each day. To keep ourselves from going insane, we ignore 99% of them. You only really see, hear or experience those you focus your mind on. This is why when you "Think" something, it appears that you are miraculously drawing it to you, when actually you are just seeing what is already there. In essence, you ARE "ATTRACTING" it into you life because it wasn't there or accessible TO YOU until your thoughts Focused your mind to see it. Make Sense? It's not mysterious at all, It's actually quite logical. That's why what you think about is important-it will be percisely those things, circumstances and people you will now see, thus attract and experience, to validate those thoughts.

So in closing, start by becoming clear about what you really want to do (direct your mind to see what's around you to achieve it) and go out and do something to act on your ambition. Read, study and practice what you need to know and go meet the people you need to meet-the clues will be all around you, once you focus your mind on your objective. Your key will be taking action on what your newly focused thought process brings to your attention.

Go make something happen...
