The law of attraction is a two-way street!

You don’t have to look far to see a perfect example of how the law of attraction works – all you need to do is to take a look around your life right now!

When you do, you will see exactly what you have been manifesting up to this point. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

If you are anything like I was, you are quick to take the credit for manifesting the ‘good’ stuff in your life, and you are probably just as quick to avoid taking responsibility for those parts of your life that you don’t like.

This is a deadly trap, and one that snares a lot of people who begin applying the law of attraction in their lives. The truth is that the law of attraction is a two-way street. You create everything in your life by placing and holding your attention upon it. When you get good results you are happy and accept the fact that you created this result. But when you get results that are less than good, or less than you expected, you are unhappy, and you allow your ego to step in and take control for a moment. You tell yourself, “This couldn’t be because of something I did, it must be the fault of ______.” And you blame something outside of yourself.

Now, it is true that sometimes things happen out there in the world that seem beyond your control, but even when that is the case, it is your reaction to that event that either allows you to grow or to remain stuck. In either case you attract what you focus on.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that the law of attraction is only about getting good results. It is not. It is only about getting results. Period.

In the town called DESIRE, YOU determine the results you get by deciding which side of the law of attraction street you want to walk down. You can choose one side and walk toward all those things you want to create and manifest in your life… or you can walk down the other side and stay focused on your problems and keep blaming the world for your hardships… and keep manifesting more of the same.

Me? I will be on the side heading toward my dreams, only I won’t be walking, I’ll be running!

Which side of the law of attraction street will you choose?

Are you ready to apply the law of attraction?

Want to know the secret of the law of attraction?

Of course you do! We all love secrets. We love the mystery, we love the thrill of having information that not everyone else has. It makes us feel special. It makes us feel like we are tapped into a special group of people who are somehow different… or even better than everyone else.

If you have seen or read The Secret, you might have noticed the claim that this secret knowledge of the law of attraction has been kept secret for hundreds of years and that only a select few have been allowed to access powerful way to manifest your desires.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

When it comes to success and the law of attraction, the truth is that there really is no ‘secret’. There is no hidden knowledge.

The keys to success, the keys to understanding and applying these ideas have always been here just waiting for you to step up and take advantage of them.

Transforming your life requires two things:

1. Knowledge of how to change

2. Action that initiates the change you want

If you are struggling in any area of your life, this is your solution. Learn how to change and then take action and start making the change.

Learning How to Change

This is the easy part because so much information about the law of attraction is readily available today, just waiting for you to grab it. The bookstores are full of it. The web is overflowing with it. If information was all it took to create the life of your dreams, the world would be full of happy people.

But information alone is not enough!

I’ve found that the problem is seldom that clients don’t have enough information… usually it is quite the opposite, they have so much information that they don’t know where to start. They suffer from overload. They are so worried about the process that they get distracted from their original goals.

Has this ever happened to you?

Success will come when you release your need to master some secret technique and instead focus on the actions that will move you toward your desired outcome. Once you forget about trying to become ‘good’ at the law of attraction, or becoming good at manifesting, once you let go…

… that’s when the magic happens. That is when you will see your reality beginning to align with your desires.

It’s a process, and the process only works when you leave it alone. Remember, a watched pot never boils!

The message in this week’s law of attraction video is a simple one: You are in control of your direction in life.

I love it when Esther and Abraham talk about trying to paddle upstream. I’ve been guilty of this myself, and every time that I notice my resistance to the flow of life and I stop and change my thinking, things turn around pretty quickly.

Sure there are lots of things that can distract you from your desires, and you can find yourself resisting the very changes that you want to manifest… but in the end, you will find that you, and you alone, are the one that chooses your path.

This is key to manifesting your desires with the law of attraction. Stop resisting your own efforts!

You resist for two main reasons – either you fear the coming change or you aren’t fully committed to the desire you are trying to manifest and you are hanging on to your old familiar ways.

In either case, as soon as you recognize the problem, you can take steps to correct it and get back on track.

You control your own stream of manifesting, and your power comes from being aligned with your desires and being in the flow, not from resisting them or allowing yourself to be distracted by all that stuff that is ‘upstream’.

Sometimes you will look back upstream and see all those missed opportunities in your life, all those wonderful chances that you let slip by, and you desperately want to go back and do it again. This is resisting.

There are many more opportunities to manifest your desires downstream! Downstream is the whole universe just waiting for you to step forward and claim what you want.

Set your sights on your biggest, grandest dream and never look back!

Stop struggling! Eliminate the stress in your life! Love, health, and abundance can be yours for the asking!

Big promises?

Not really, manifesting your desires is the most natural thing in the world. Follow the steps in this video and start creating your own manifesting magic!

There is really nothing hard about this whole process. Time and time again the principles contained within the law of attraction have helped transform lives and yours is no different!

The key is to actually apply the principles! It is not good enough to read a book or watch a DVD and get excited for a day or two. You have to DECIDE that you want to change, and then go out and BE the change that you want to create.

Ghandi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

It starts within YOU.

Once you decide the direction you want your life to head in you can step onto the path that will lead you there. But you can’t start until you DECIDE to.

You can want change, you can wish for change, you can even have a burning desire for change, but until you make that decision, and until you put the full force of your intention behind it, you will remain where you are.

So go ahead, make today the day that you decide that your dreams matter, that your future is too important to leave to chance. Decide to take control of your life.

Manifest your desires without causing pain!

Are you manifesting your desires easily? Or do you find yourself struggling every step of the way?

Learning how to manifest your desires without causing yourself pain is simple… once you know how.

If you are struggling right now, even a little, it probably means that you are finding it hard to let go of something in your life right now. The problem is that it is not always easy to see what this something is, because it does not always relate directly to what you desire… which is why you struggle and feel pain.

Now, you might think that learning to let go of the things that are holding you back would be the solution to this problem, but you would be wrong.

Letting go is not the answer!

The answer is to stay focused on those things you want, and not on what you do not want. The second that you take your eyes off of your desires you begin moving away from them, towards something else. This is especially true when you are attached to something.

Don’t focus on losing weight…

Let’s look at an example and you’ll see what I mean. Let’s say that you desire a lean, healthy body, but that your craving for those $1 fast food burgers is expanding your waistline a little too much.

You might look at the situation and say, “All I have to do is give up eating so many cheeseburgers.” But the reality is a little harder, isn’t it? Because quitting or giving up something is never enough. Everything in your life is there for a reason, a purpose.

A better approach, and one that I take with all my clients, is to look at the change you want to make and focus on actions you can take that move you forward, toward your dream.

In our weight loss example, you would create change quicker and easier if instead of ‘giving up’ something, you added better choices to your life. Focus on the good things you want to eat and don’t worry about the cheeseburgers.

Where is your focus?

Understand that you can only focus in one direction at a time, and the more you pay attention to the positive changes you are making and the less you worry about quitting or giving up things, the better off you will be.

This means you will wind up creating less pain for yourself!

Letting go seems like a good idea, at least at first, and you’ll hear lots of talk about how important it is to learn to let go of this emotion or that attachment, but unless your goal is to become an expert on letting go, you will manifest your desires much faster if you stay focused on achieving them rather than stressing over what to let go of.

Your life is a constantly changing, constantly evolving experience and you can manifest your dreams and desires without pain, simply by choosing the right things to focus on.

p.s. Remember, the only way to successfully manifest the life of your dreams is to keep at it, until you succeed! There is always more than one path that will bring you to your dream. Don’t give up!

The law of attraction should really be called the law of creation because the truth is that you create much more than you attract. This short Sunday morning law of attraction video talks about this crucial difference.

If you are struggling, if you are trying so very hard to attract all those things you want into your life, if you feel ready to give up on your dreams and throw in the towel… STOP!

The key to successfully manifesting your desires is to approach things from a mindset of creating rather than attracting. You are not a magnet, so stop trying to be one! Magnets are mindless, and have only one ability. You, on the other hand, are a powerful manifesting being who is capable of creating just about anything you desire.

Once you stop trying to attract your desires you will free yourself from your struggle. Attracting implies waiting for something outside yourself to come to you. How long have you been waiting already? Forget that! Instead, focus on taking action, on moving yourself towards what you want, on creating the opportunities that you need.

You’ll see the difference in your results almost immediately!

How to make a vision board - That really works!

Do you know how to make a vision board? One that really works? Vision boards, sometimes called dream boards, are fast becoming one of the most popular manifesting  and law of attraction tools available. This is because a well made vision board can help you attract your desires faster and easier than you may have thought possible. You have probably heard about the power of vision boards, or you may have even seen them in use, but if you are not personally taking advantage of this very powerful law of attraction tool yourself, you are missing out on an awesome opportunity to shorten your path to success. Follow the simple steps outlined below and you will learn how to make your very own vision board – that really works!

1. Choose Your Theme – Start by choosing the theme of your vision board. Will it focus on all of your dreams and goals? Or will it be about one specific area of your life that you are trying to create change in? For your first vision board you might find it easier to focus on just two or three of your biggest dreams or goals.

2. Decide on a Format - Making a vision board is a very personal experience, and the more creative and involved you are in the process, the better your results will be in the long run. Your creative choices begin here. Your vision board can be any size or shape that you want. Poster board works very well, and is available in many wonderful colors. You can also use plain cardboard, or sheet paper, or anything at all that you can tape or glue things to. You can also buy empty picture frames for a dollar or two and use that for your dream board. The possibilities are endless!

3. Find Images of Your Dream – Now comes the fun part! Go find pictures of the things that you want to manifest or create in your life. You can look in old magazines or search online for images of whatever you want. But be specific about the images that you choose. If you really want a silver Jaguar don’t use a picture of a red one or a white one or anything else. The images that you choose must match your desires exactly. This is important.

You’ll find it pretty easy to find pictures or images of the material things that you want, but what if your dreams aren’t about ‘things’? What if, for example, your dream is to attract a happy, loving relationship? No problem, simply look for images that you feel represent your desired situation. Perhaps an image of two lovers enjoying a candlelit dinner, or perhaps a couple walking arm in arm along a  tropical beach. Use whatever works for you.

4. Add Dynamic Words – Words are very powerful, and adding some well-chosen words and phrases to your vision board will increase the power of the images that you use. What words should you use? Well, what personal qualities are you trying to develop? Put them on your board. You can also use words to create titles of different sections of your board. If you can’t find just the right phrase you are looking for, you can always print them yourself and then cut them out!

5. Lay Out Your Dream – Now you simply take all those wonderful images and powerful words that you chose and start laying them out on your board. Be sure to work on a flat surface, and don’t glue or tape anything down until you are happy with the layout. Move the images and words around, try different patterns and combinations of words and images until you are happy with the result. Then go ahead and tape or glue everything permanently into place.

6. Envision Your Future – All that remains is for you to hang or place your new dream board somewhere that you will be able to see it often. Be sure to look at your board, really look at it, every time that you get the chance. When you do, allow yourself to pause for a moment and envision your future, a future when every one of your dreams on that vision board have manifested into reality. Let yourself feel that future for a moment, and then simply continue on with your day.

Now that you know how to make a vision board you can create new ones as your current dreams come true and you set your sights on bigger and bigger dreams!

Is the law of attraction frustrating you? Do you want better results in your life? It is easier than you might think! You can turn up your manifesting power simply by getting good at a few law of attraction basics. A good place to start is by looking at what you want!

In this video you will discover the crucial elements of deciding what you want. If you are struggling to manifest your desires, this law of attraction basics step is the first place you should look. Far too often, the stresses and struggles in your life are caused by not having a crystal clear vision of the future you want. Watch and see!

Is your vision of your future complete and detailed?

It really needs to be. The more you know about your dream ahead of time the more likely you are to create those EXACT dreams.

Remember, you can’t complain about your results if you haven’t set a clear and conscious intention to manifest a specific result. Well, you CAN complain, but it won’t do you any good, because once you start complaining… where is your focus?

Here is a clue: It is NOT on your dream anymore!

So, no complaining.

Instead, focus your attention and your intention on creating a vivid, detailed picture of what it is you want.

1. Be certain that you want it.
2. Know WHY you want it.
3. Know exactly what you want.

Do that, and your manifesting ability will go through the roof!

I have several more in the works and I’d love to hear exactly what aspects of the law of attraction you would like to learn about. So go ahead, leave a comment and tell me what about the law of attraction or success in general is giving you the most trouble.

p.p.s. I almost forgot! Happy Spring!

Are you ready to reach those BIG dreams?

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Remember when you were little and adults were constantly asking you that question? I bet you had an answer for them, didn’t you? I bet you had BIG DREAMS! Oh, your answer might have changed from time to time, as your interests came and went, but you probably had an answer. In that moment, when they were asking you, you KNEW what you wanted to be.

And what you wanted to be was directly related to what you liked to do and the dreams you had. You might have dreamed of becoming a ballerina, or of blazing a trail through uncharted territory, or of raising a family, or of piloting a spaceship to a new planet… the sky was the limit, wasn’t it?

Back then you had the freedom to dream any dream, but you didn’t have the resources to make those dreams real. You couldn’t, you were just a child. All you could do was dream and pretend.

But now, now you are grown up. So now I ask you the same question, just framed a little differently: “What do you want to BE, now that you are a grown up?”

You see, those same dreams, those same wild fantasies that fueled your imagination back then, are still within you. They still want to come out and play! But now you have something that you didn’t have back then! Now you can make those dreams a reality by tapping into your manifesting power and creating changes in your current life.

You can begin shaping your life, you can begin moving in the direction of those big dreams and goals!

How?

Start by opening your mind to the possibilities for growth that exist right now in your life. They are there, just waiting for you to take advantage of them.

Be brave. Be bold. Learn to ask for the help you need.

But most importantly, be committed to living your dream!
