<p>Okay, we are two weeks into the new year&#8230; it is time for a resolution round up.</p>
<p>The question is, how are you doing on all those fantastic New Year&#8217;s resolutions?</p>
<p>Are you still sticking with it? Are you still committed to making those changes that were so important to you just a few short weeks ago? Or have you fallen back into the same old routine, the same old rut, the same old habits as last year?</p>
<p>Far too many people have already given up on the biggest dreams that they had for this year. Yep, they have given up. It is so easy to let your dreams slide away as the excitement and optimism of the new year give way to the reality of your life.</p>
<p>It turns out that the new year<span id="more-1123"></span> isn&#8217;t that much different than the old one. You might have a brand new calendar on the wall, but everything else is the same. You get up in the morning and you face the same problems, the same fears, the same challenges that you faced last year.</p>
<p>Here is something that will help keep you on track with your resolutions and allow you to grow into your dreams.</p>
<p>The reason that you lose your excitement about your new goals so quickly every year is one of focus. As last year ended, you were THINKING about your dreams and goals. You were IMAGINING how different this year would look. You let yourself get swept away in the dreaming portion of the change process.</p>
<p>You were FOCUSED on your goals and dreams.</p>
<p>And do you know what you weren&#8217;t focusing on?</p>
<p>You weren&#8217;t focusing on your problems. You were focusing on solutions to your problems.</p>
<p>Rather than thinking about your lousy job, 0r the problems in your relationships, or your run-down car, or anything else that stresses you out, you were thinking about better jobs, better relationships, a better car&#8230;</p>
<p>You were thinking about a better life.</p>
<p>So what happened?</p>
<p>Life happened.</p>
<p>You changed your focus from dreaming about changing, back to the very problems that you want to escape.</p>
<p>So lets change it back! Because the only way that you are able to turn those dreams of yours into reality is to stay focused on them. You have to get yourself back into the mindset of change.</p>
<p>Try writing your top three goals on a piece of paper and put it on your nightstand by your bed. Read this goals list to yourself three times every night before you go to sleep. Then read it three times in the morning when you wake up. Do that for three weeks.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be amazed at the change using this simple technique will make in your mindset during the day. You will find yourself looking for solutions rather than finding more problems.</p>
<p>How are you doing on your resolutions so far? Have you reached some of your goals? Are you still struggling? Share your comments below!</p>
<p>Peace,</p>

<p>Here is a question that I hear a lot:  How can I attract love using the law of attraction? Is there a secret?</p>
<p>How to attract love into your life, or how to improve the relationships that you already have, are among the most frequently asked questions surrounding the law of attraction. It&#8217;s a question that many people have on their mind. I frequently get emails and online messages about how to attract love, and people post questions about love and the law of attraction in forums all the time.</p>
<p>Why? Because your relationships have a profound effect on many other areas of your life, and the quality of your relationships is often a reflection of the quality of your success at manifesting your desires in those other areas.</p>
<p>In other words, if you are struggling with love or with your relationships, you are probably experiencing struggle in other areas of your life as well.</p>
<p>One of the keys to a happy, peaceful life is <span id="more-695"></span>staying balanced, and when your love life is out of kilter, everything else seems &#8216;not right&#8217; too.</p>
<p>So how do you attract love? Do you just think about love?</p>
<p>Well, yes&#8230; and no&#8230;</p>
<p>First, as with anything else that you are trying to manifest or create in your life, you have to be crystal clear about what it is that you want. This is doubly essential when it comes to love or your relationships.</p>
<p>You have to look behind the idea of &#8216;love&#8217; and understand what love really means to you. Love is a very lofty term, and we throw it around in all kinds of different situations, but we assign different levels of meaning to it in each of those situations. My &#8216;love&#8217; for my mother is quite different from my &#8216;love&#8217; for my daughter, which is also very different from my &#8216;love&#8217; for my wife.</p>
<p>What does love mean to you?</p>
<p>A more important question to ask yourself when trying to apply the principles of the law of attraction in your life would be, how would your ideal partner make you feel? Secure? Comfortable? Empowered? Loved? Proud? You have to know what roles and feelings your partner is expected to fulfill.</p>
<p>So understanding what type of love you are trying to attract is the first step.</p>
<p>The next step to attracting love is where many of us struggle. We have to take a good honest look at ourselves and see if we are the type of person that someone with the qualities we are looking for would find attractive. And I&#8217;m not just talking just about the physical here. Are you attractive on the inside?</p>
<p>Are you the type of person that can allow a partner to share in your life? Are you the type of person that can receive those things that you desire from them?</p>
<p>Ask yourself what you can do to make yourself more likely to attract the kind of person you are seeking. Then listen to your heart and begin to make some changes in yourself. Clean up your act and step it up a notch.</p>
<p>Become a better quality person and you will attract a better quality person.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the essence of the law of attraction and love.</p>
<p>Peace,</p>

<p>p.s. Creating great relationships can be one of the most frustrating aspects of manifesting, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be. At its core it is no different than anything else. YOU can have great relationships right now, YOU can attract the love you desire!</p>
