Law of attraction key: Stop counting and start living!

In the last post, I shared a law of attraction video from Michael Losier, who talked about setting goals with the law of attraction. One of the things he said struck a chord with me, and with several readers as well. He said we tend to ‘keep score’, which distracts us from our original desire.

This is important. If you are busy keeping score, if you are always counting to see how close to your goal you are, then guess what?

You are slowing your own progress because you are no longer focused on your goal. Now you are focused on that area of lack that exists where your goal will eventually go.

As with most things related to the law of attraction, this seems to be a paradox, it seems to be an impossible task.

But the letting go of your desires so that they can manifest is, in fact, a natural way to live. It is much more stressful to be constantly checking to see if you have those ten new clients that you want, than it is to simply move towards those new clients isn’t it?

When an author sits down to write a 1,000 word article or a 50,000 word book, he or she doesn’t count each word along the way. Sure, they might check once in a while, but not all the time. If they did, they wouldn’t get any writing done. And they don’t just stop writing the instant that they hit 1,000 or 50,000 words either, the story they are telling may flow beyond those limits.

How often in your life have you found success when you stopped counting, stopped keeping score, and just focused on doing the thing that moves you forward? A lot I bet!

It happens to us all. The difficulty comes because we like keeping score, we like knowing just how far we have left. But when you keep your attention on the gap between your desires and your reality, the gap only grows bigger.

Let go of your dreams and live as if they are already real!
