Sunday Law of Attraction Video: Michael Losier – Does Goal Setting Help or Hurt?
One of the big questions around the law of attraction is whether goal setting helps you or gets in your way as you manifest your desires. Michael Losier talks about this in this short video.
You can see that it is easy to get sidetracked when you begin talking about your goals. It can seem hard to let go of your desires when you are busy ‘counting’ and seeing how close you are to your goal.
But don’t give up on goal setting just yet.
Every desire of yours is in fact a goal. And a goal, by its very definition is something that you have not attained yet, something that you want, but that you don’t yet possess.
But the law of attraction teaches us that we should not focus on those things that we don’t have, that we shouldn’t focus on the areas of lack in our life.
So what are we to do?
Well, as Michael said in the video, goals are good for defining and clarifying our desires, but once you set a goal you must let go of it. To be in synch with the law of attraction you must live and breath as if you already possess the thing you seek.
Do that and you will find yourself reaching your goals with a lot less effort than you dreamed possible!

Great post, though I didn’t watch the video. I liked what you had to say about living as if we already have what we want! I agree.
I also think goal setting should be light and fluffy. I have light thoughts about what would be nice to experience and then, it starts to show up. When I concentrate too hard, I think I tend to worry.

Exactly! You can move towards something without focusing on the lack of that thing in your life.
