A lot of people when they first hear about the law of attraction seem to think it means they can just sit on their couch and imagine good things, such as a lot of money, and it will just fall out of the sky.
Opponents particularly bring this point up and like to point out how no one got rich sitting on their couch dreaming without doing some work.
Well they are half right. You can’t just sit and dream about being rich. As I mentioned last week you need to start acting on purpose. To start feeling like you are already there, or if this is difficult for you to feel then try feeling like you are moving towards it. That you are making progress.
It’s when you make a decision and start to take action that the Law of Attraction, The Secret, starts to kick in. In my life all of the goals I have achieved, all of the successes I have experienced, were not directly attracted to me. What I mean by this is that they didn’t fall out of the sky into my lap.
What I did attract without fail every time I was acting on purpose was the resources I needed to allow me to achieve my goal. I still had to reach out, take the resources, and use them. e.g.
- I would meet the person I need to help me, but I still had to follow up and maintain that relationship.
- I would get the job interview despite everything weighted against me, but I still had to attend and put in a good performance.
- I would get offerred the opportunities to do what I wanted, either directly or I would miraculously find the information I needed, but I still had to take them.
- I would find the books I needed, but I still had to read them.
And so the list goes on.
This to me has been always how it worked, I didn’t attract the end directly, but rather the means to that end. I still had to take the baton and run with it.
This is where most people let themselves down. They fail to act or even make a decision until it’s too late or they decide to always play it safe all the time, never stepping out no matter how many opportunities come their way.
Without action, the only thing you attract is stagnation. Everything is always in motion and it is either growing or disintegrating. If you do not act to grow your life. It will slowly disintegrate around you.
