Some people seem to have luck in everything they undertake, while others are haunted by bad luck and fail all the time. After a long series of unfortunate events, both personally and professionally, Rhonda Byrne, author of the famous book ‘The Secret’, claims to have discovered what distinguishes the lucky ones from those who are less fortunate. It’s all about the way in which people apply the law of attraction.

It seems that the law of attraction works for perfectly for millions of people around the world, who can talk you for hours about miraculous changes that took place in their lives. Most of them were able to solve problems, to find love and to heal themselves. The secret lies probably in the power of autosuggestion.

But what are the principles on which the law of attraction is based? How does it work?

Every thought you have is a form of energy that emits a vibration, a signal. This signal attracts the same rate of vibration on the same frequency. Your thoughts are messages to the Universe, becoming a form of energy. This is what we call the law of attraction, one of the most powerful laws of the universe and the basis of creative visualization. In the same way a magnet attracts metal, your mind attracts energy. Unfortunately most people care more about what they don’t have or about what they want to change in their lives, wondering why nothing goes well. The law of attraction ignores the nature of your thoughts. So if your thoughts remain stuck on the fact that you have can’t have a certain thing, your energy will focus on failure and not on success.

Start by thinking about what you really want. You must focus on what you desire and to forget about lacks. You should always read and write positive affirmations, avoiding expressions like ‘I don’t want’ or ‘I can’t have’. Your statements are detailed images that you project to the universe.

Love yourself! Love and positive thoughts attract positive energies. The easiest and most effective way to accomplish your desires is to imagine that you have already obtained the object of your desire, that it is part of your everyday life. When you want something, you should focus your thoughts and attention on it; by thinking intensely, you are emitting vibrations that attract positive things to your life.

Everything around you has a different effect on your life: books, magazines, music, people and information that feed your mind and spirit. Start doing things that make you feel relaxed. All these facts influence your way of thinking and feelings, being in fact, your messages to the universe.

You attract exactly what you’re thinking about and people who think and feel like you. Eventually, your whole existence is determined by your thoughts and feelings.

A journal is a good tool to make you realize how many beautiful things are in your life. Amazing sunsets, birds singing, wild flowers, the laugher of a child, a walk in nature, the smile of a another person- these are all examples that melt your heart. Be grateful and enjoy everything you. Many people have lost the loved ones or don’t have the possibility to enjoy the world around them. Try to see the best part and stop thinking that something bad can happen to you.

Years ago, the idea of creating one’s dreams by using the power of intention manifestation was reserved for religious intellectuals and folks on the New Age fringe. Nowadays, the idea of taking charge and creating a full and rich life by tapping the power of the unconscious is becoming a possibility in wider circles. The once opposing worlds of physics and metaphysics are finding some common ground, or at least both sides seem to be realizing that the more truth that is discovered, the more mystery it creates.

Perhaps it isn’t far-fetched to imagine that the power of the subconscious mind has more to do with our reality than we once realized. Even something as simple as preparing the evening meal must first be visualized, mental lists created, imagining the tasks involved and the materials needed. It might be a healthy notion to take responsibility for our own realities in broader areas, to be open to the possibility that we are creating our worlds through our attitudes.

Many books have been written about visualization, positive thinking, affirmations and the like. For some, they lead to disappointment when they don’t return an instant return. For others, it develops a habit of using the mind as a tool to see the world in a more positive light. Setting goals and imagining them to be achieved can be a powerful tool for shining a finer light on one’s life.

This can sound overly simple, and perhaps it it. But for many, the act of taking responsibility for the results in their lives has led to personal empowerment. They have a feeling of success, however they define it. For many, it has nothing to do with material wealth; success is defined as having a full life on their own terms. Taking charge and achieving what one wants from life can be a scary idea, but when it works, it is a positive concept.

For so many more, taking responsibility for their lives seems daunting. They feel no control in their lives and no power to change them. The ways to turn this attitude around could fill a book store, and if it were easy, we would all be living the lives or our dreams. There doesn’t seem to be a magic trick to all of this, as each person’s life unfolds in a unique way.

So what is the key? Perhaps there is more to this life than we know, deeper levels of meaning that we have yet to discover and understand. Or perhaps there is not deeper meaning and it is all random. There is no way to know, but to improve one’s outlook on life seems to be one way to improve that life. The old adage “attitude is everything” rings true.

Maybe the key lies in learning to tap into one’s intuition, to take action based on that quiet inner voice. Maybe the key is in developing a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. Maybe there is no key, and we’re searching for something that doesn’t exist.

Whatever the key, learning to develop the power of intention manifestation is alluring. An easy way to create our dreams is likely not going to drop out of the sky, but developing the discipline to better understand our own minds and to create a positive attitude in any situation can only be a good thing.

We are raised with ideas that love has something to do with how we express ourselves toward others. We think that when we love someone, we will compromise and make them feel better and will sacrifice ourselves and do anything for the object of our adoration. While this is true to a point, it is backwards. You can not love another until you fully embrace yourself.

The notion that you must cater to the needs of others in the name of love creates internal conflict and it is really the furthest thing from love. We are taught that we must strive to “be good” but that implies that we are inherently “bad” or that there is something we must achieve or do in order to be good and loved. We set ourselves up for lives of unhappiness and Self-sacrifice, feeling that love comes from an external source and to attain it, we must cater to the perceived needs of others.

When you can embrace yourself, exactly as we show up, (whether you like the characteristics or not) you then allow yourself to be Self-loving. You cant help whether you feel anger or love in any moment, and you cant control other people and their perceptions. All you can do is surrender control and accept yourself and what you feel in any given moment, whether that feeling is of wanting to kiss someone or whether you want to kick them. You dont have to act on anything, merely accept that you feel it and once you accept it, you can then change it if you desire. You cant change something you are unwilling to see.

When you can accept your feelings in any given moment, you will eventually find that you are happy to be you and can remain steadfastly true to yourself by honoring your feelings. When you can be true to yourself and other peoples opinions hold no power over you, then you can truly love without condition. You find that your approval and acceptance is the only validation you need and little by little, your attachments to how other people respond to you melt away. You find that it makes no difference whether your love is reciprocated; you love because you feel love for yourself and nobody can take that away from you. You find that it feels wonderful to share yourself and your love with whoever will receive it, in whatever form it shows up; whether it is helping a stranger with groceries or being present with your kids or giving yourself over to your lover fully and completely.

When we release the need for external approval, we find our own validation and approval is the only one we need. We find that our love is expressed in everything you do and you free yourself to be completely and steadfastly true to ourselves. We also find that in loving the Self, we cant help but love every aspect of our lives because we see and express our own Love of Self in everything we do.

I endured abuse as a child. I’m sure most people today have some scars from some sort of dysfunction in their early family life. My purpose here is not to tell horror stories, but I will tell you about how it has affected my life.

My father was and still is an alcoholic. I was never angry at him for it. Alternately I felt sorry for him. He is a good man who loved his children and tried to teach them values. His addiction and relative lack of social skills led him to be distant, unreliable, and angry. My mother who felt guilty for what we had to go through because of his alcoholism and their relationship was very emotionally distant. I was the oldest of 6 and felt responsible for everyone’s happiness and well-being. I’m not looking for sympathy. I am actually grateful for my trials and the empathy and determination I have learned through them. I will say that I had some serious scars.

My fist marriage was ruined by my lack of self-love and trust issues. Then, the divorce, nearly killed me. I had sworn that my children would never have to endure divorce, but didn’t know how to do anything different. The truth is that we only know what we live until we learn something new, and we either change or cave. The pain made me cave, and then change.

Getting rid of the insecurities and fears of my ego will be a lifelong process. But I can say that I can talk about my past now without tears. And, in contrast to the average 2nd marriage stats, mine is going really well. I credit this to being willing to look at my own faults.

I have always been aware of my deep-seated insecurities. I felt unlovable and insignificant. Though I knew there must be a better way and that I was meant to feel joy, I couldn’t find tactile answers. I looked to my religion, and was open to any new teaching or method that didn’t conflict with my beliefs.

If I were to share each of the things I have found to help me, I would have to write a book (maybe someday). Yoga, meditation, service, endurance athletic events, a business that helps me reach goals in every area, and loving 8 great children unconditionally have been helpful in my healing journey. My business which has to do with the Law of Attraction has taught me a lot about finding joy. Sometimes I wonder why I hadn’t heard of these principles earlier. Maybe I wasn’t really ready to implement them. It’s interesting how life gives you things when it does.

The bottom line in getting out of my mind and into my spirit was quite simply the decision or acceptance to be happy. Yes, it sounds too simple. So, why so hard to implement? I think that we get some “peanut payoff” for being miserable. Like sympathy or revenge. We don’t want to let our offenders off the hook. Well, guess what? We didn’t put them there. they did, and they’ll have to get themselves off. Healing only takes a decision.

Yes, we all have something to be grateful for on any given day, and probably any given hour. When you start thinking negatively again, think of the 5 billion people in the world right now that you wouldn’t trade places with!

You are a human being, not a human DOING. So, stop trying to do things to make yourself feel better. Just BE. We learned more about what this means when visiting Ethiopia to get our two youngest children. In the face of poor living conditions, lack of food, and an orphan epidemic due to AIDS, most people were happy. They had discovered through tough circumstance that it is not circumstance that determines happiness, it is your mindset (or soulset), and a decision to be happy.

Believe me, I am not judging anyone who may be depressed, or has gone through difficult circumstances and is not happy. I have been there. I know that pain, and the work it sometimes takes to get through. I’m just hoping that my experience will help someone get to joy a little faster. It is how life was meant to be lived. “Men are that they might have joy.

The Law of Attraction scares some religious people. They think of it as looking for a divine Santa Claus or an excuse for wanting more. Those are both wrong impressions. The historical roots of the Law of Attraction are distinctly spiritual.

Early Hindu writings are claimed to be the first written evidence of the Law of Attraction. Since so much is handed down by oral tradition, the actual concept of attraction likely began well before the first written evidence.

These ideas were used, ignored and rediscovered over and over. Whether you believe in God or some other name for a Supreme Being, there are forces at work around us that make amazing things possible.

Miracles, signs and wonders are just some of the spiritually-oriented words we use when the impossible becomes possible. Clearly the power exists for miracles and other amazing occurrences.

Since it’s there, we need to ask in order to meet our needs. That’s another Christian concept, as the Bible reminds believers to “ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.”

At the time of asking, seeking and knocking, you don’t have what you need. To ask, seek or knock means that you believe what you need exists and you have claimed your right to ask for and to receive what you need.

Some believers who see God as the source of all things in the universe can apply these approaches to attracting what they need because there is a link to making those requests in the Bible.

Others who believe that the universe contains God and all things will make similar approaches to attract what they need based on the Law of Attraction principles. The essential concepts are similar, with emphasis on positive thinking and rejecting negative thinking.

If you attempt to use the energy of the universe to produce things, yet deny the power of attraction in your heart, then you satisfy neither the universe nor the Supreme Being you claim to profess.

You have to bring together your spiritual beliefs with your expanded understanding about energy and life force within this present reality. Many people who practice the Law of Attraction are deeply spiritual in all aspects of their life.

If you seek greater spiritual awakening, you can attract that into your life using the same three steps – Ask, Believe, and Receive. In fact, this process is so rightly related to spirituality that you’ll wonder what took you so long to use this to energize your spiritual connections!
