Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires

Getting around to thinking about what your ideal life would look like and committing that vision to paper is difficult, if not impossible, to do when you’re pretty much in a rut. Every day starts to look a lot like the one before and you’re so bogged down in the minutiae of the day-to-day that you just can’t even phantom an ideal life, much less find the energy to go about creating it. In order to be able to think in terms of the life of your dreams—as you used to do once upon a time–you need to be reawakened, and the way to get a jumpstart on the creation of your ideal life is to make a list of 100 things to do before you die.

You’re going to create your list by having an individual brainstorming session. Set your kitchen timer to go off in forty-five minutes and find a place where you won’t be interrupted. Play Baroque music in the background, if you have it. Baroque music, such as “The Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi and Pachbel’s “Cannon” have been shown to slow brainwaves down to the Alpha range, the brain frequency which has been linked to increased creativity.

Do not criticize or evaluate what you write down during the brainstorming process: you’re trying to open yourself up to possibilities. Write down whatever comes into your head, it doesn’t matter how wildly impractical the idea seems. Basically, you’re going to have to quiet your internal critic, that little voice in your head that might be saying: “You can’t do that”; “That’s silly”; “I can’t afford that.” Push the limits on what you currently think is possible for you and think outside the boundaries of your current life.

Don’t stop at 100; write down as many things as come to your mind. Later you can sift through the list you created and narrow it down to 100.

The list can consist of books you want to read, places you want to visit, people you want to meet, adventures you want to have, skills you want to master, and so on. It can include things such as the following:

• Write a book, and get it published;

• Spend New Year’s Eve in Times Square, New York;

• Visit the Great Wall of China;

• Learn to tango, in Buenos Aires, Argentina;

• Swim with dolphins;

• Run a marathon, or at least a 10K;

• Learn to play the piano;

• Fly in a hot air balloon;

• Go parachuting;

• Go whale-watching;

• Be an extra in a film;

• Meet your favorite celebrity;

• Find and marry the love of your life;

• Learn to juggle;

• Scuba dive off Australia’s Great Barrier Reef;

• Appear on the cover of “Time” magazine;

• See the Mona Lisa in person at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Your list should spark excitement, rekindle your zest for life, and encourage you to look at your life like a daring adventure. However, the purpose of this exercise isn’t just creating a list; it’s about setting out to accomplish the things on your list. So, once you have your list choose the first item you’re going to check off and get to it. Sail out to sea. . .

If you’re like every other person out there, the biggest thing you want in your life is someone to love you, and for you to give your love to in return. Some of you may even want the person of your dreams instead of the person you have now. There is nothing wrong with that. So if the love of a lifetime is what everyone truly wants, why is it that so few people find it? Well, there are a couple of reasons.

Below is a list of reasons why most people never realize the love of their life.

1. They don’t love themselves. I know that so many people say this, yet I am amazed at how few really understand what it means. It really is fairly simple. It means learning to be ok with the person you are right now, in this very moment. Learning to be proud of who you have become. Learning to appreciate yourself, as you are, perfectly, in this moment. Knowing you have flaws and being ok with that. Knowing you have things to work on, and being ok with that also. If you don’t learn to appreciate your own unique beauty and self, how can you ever expect someone else to appreciate those things.

2. Most people have no idea what their perfect mate is like. How can you ever expect to attract the love of your life if you are unable to see what that is in your head. If you have no idea, or a very vague idea of what the love of a lifetime means for you, you can’t possibly find it. It would be the same as someone telling you to find the town of Danville. Where would you even begin if you had no access to a map and had to find it just by driving. You don’t even have a state to start with. Is that Danville Pennsylania, or Danville Virginia? Love is no different. You must have a good grasp on what the love of your life would be like.

3. So many people cling to the first person who shows any sign of liking them. I am amazed at how so many people will not buy the first car they see, or the first house they look at. Yet the very same people will grab ahold of the first person who shows them a little attention as though that one person were the last person on earth. There are over 6 billion people on this planet for
god’s sake. Don’t settle for someone until they prove to you that they are the person you are looking for.

4. Many people are afraid to go out and meet new people. They are afraid to approach new people and make new friends. Especially if that new person is someone they find attractive and would like to get to know. Most people simply sit and wish for what they want. There must always be action to get to where you want to go. You can’t simply imagine yourself in some gorgeous vacation spot, wiggle your nose, and instantly teleport there. You must buy tickets, show up for the scheduled departure time of your plane, get on the plane, and go to where that spot is. If you want to meet someone, you must get out and get to know people. This really goes back to number 1. Because most people do not love themselves, they are terrified of the rejection. But I am not a dating coach, and how to work on that area of yourself is subject for another article.

5. You must take the time to imagine the love of your life. Feel the feelings of being in love. Imagine the things you would do if you were in love right now. How you would treat that other person. What their hair or perfume or cologne would smell like. Feel them in your arms as you hug them and hold them. Hear their words fall from their lips. Even if you don’t know exactly what the person of your dreams looks like, you can imagine what someone you would be attracted to would look like. Don’t get caught up on one specific person. Be open and willing to receive the type of person who would help you feel wealthy in
the arena of love and relationships.

6. Open yourself up to receive love. So many people want specific things, and being specific about what you want is important, however, do not be specific about how you acquire that thing. Allow the universe to do it’s magic. If you imagine the person of
your dreams coming to you in a very specific way, like through a job or a hobby, you are limiting the universe to only those specific areas. The universe is much greater and more vast than we can imagine. Allow it to use it’s resources to bring you what it is you want.

7. The moment that the universe offers an opportunity, take it. The second you feel an impulse or a feeling to do something or move in a specific direction, or the moment something happens that seems like a “coincidence,” move. Take action. Do not hesitate. Do not delay. Don’t even blink. Take action and take action immediately. That is your sign from the universe
that the opportunity has come. Take it, and move forward.

How do you create a dream? What are your dreams? Spend a few minutes, right now, writing them down. Of course, don’t edit your thoughts, just ask –what are my dreams? And start writing down the thoughts that come immediately to you. Make a list.

I’m a dreamer. I got it from my Dad. Several years ago I looked at my life and wondered – how did I get here? It felt like it had all just happened and I had watched and participated but I hadn’t necessarily been in the driver’s seat. I took some time to figure out what type of career I wanted. At the time I was a mid-level manager in a non-profit organization serving people with disabilities. It was work I had been doing since I was 14 years old. I explored my desires and dreams through experiential adventure. First, I participated in a 72 day leadership course with Outward Bound. At the top of an 80 foot rappel I sat terrified behind dark sunglasses, wondering – how did you get yourself in this mess? And the reality was I had signed up for the course and each step was a challenge and accomplishment.

After finishing the Outward Bound course I returned to my non-profit job and continued to explore my destination. My work in residential programs with people with disabilities had been filled with creating life plans and program plans for the people we served. We looked at some key things:
1. What is your dream?
2. What are the resources you have available to accomplish/achieve your dream?
3. What resources do we need to create to support you in achieving your dream?
4. What are the steps you need to take in order to move closer to your goal?
5. When will you know you have succeeded? What will it look like, feel like, and sound like?
Through this process we created all sorts of new and innovative living arrangements, jobs, community supported goals for people.

I did much the same thing. I found a long lost passion for cycling and joined a bike club and started riding. I hadn’t really ridden a bicycle in 15 years. I could barely ride 20 miles and didn’t know how to fix a flat tire. As I started riding I joined a bike club. Soon, I was telling people that I was riding across the country – “next year”. Within a couple of months I had completed a bicycle tour leadership training, had a national organization to sponsor the tour and was planning the route with an advisory committee overseeing the plan.

In creating the Peace Tour I had to keep working each step over and over to create the overall plan. And I ended up with a great tour route. One year later, I was biking across the country with a very small group and I loved it. I love the feel of my bike with packs on it and the feel of the open road. A bicycle with everything I needed, right on it, a true recreational vehicle.

Can we create the life we want? Can we take a vision or a dream and make it happen? Definitely. It is what is done in large corporations all the time. It is the clarity of vision and of purpose that provides a clear path or direction for the people within an organization. As individuals, we too, have vision and can develop a plan for making it happen. Setting a step by step plan has a better chance at success than does just having a passing or recurring day dream. For me, cycling cross country happened because I made it happen. I took it step by step. Ask yourself; what are the pieces that make this dream happen? What do I need to put in place to create it?

Take it one step at a time. First, write your dream or vision down. Write in great detail, as if it is happening right now or picture yourself in the vision. How does it feel, how does it smell? What are the sounds you hear? What do you see? What are you doing? How has it changed your life? Write the details including all the feelings that being in your vision creates.

Step 2: What are the resources that you already have that can help make the vision a reality? Money, materials, supplies, time, property, frequent flier miles, friends, colleagues, and/or acquaintances? List them all.

Step 3: What resources or supports do you need to achieve your vision/dream/goal? List everything that could help you in succeeding. This is not the place to write in winning the lottery. Each item needs to be realistic. Things that seem out of reach are okay because these are often reachable, with determination and a plan.

Step 4: What steps do you need to take to achieve your vision/dream/goal? What are the steps? Break the vision down into the steps that need to happen. These often have a chronological order, but also may have steps that have to keep happening over and over. The steps can become the smaller goals you work towards, so make them small and easy to achieve.

Step 5: When will you know you have succeeded? What will it look like, feel like, and sound like? This might be similar to your vision that you developed earlier but it is an important step as it helps you to measure your success. You can develop a measure for each step of the way and then check it off when you complete it. Or buy stars and give yourself a star for success for each step along the way. I have used stars for years with staff working with me. People think it sounds silly, but we all got a charge from them when we saw them on our paper in elementary school. As adults, we go right back to those feelings when we get one as adults. It makes the process a game. The check marks or stars become reinforcing for you as you succeed. They build enthusiasm and energy for success and they keep you moving forward.

I recommend once you are clear on your plan that you also tell people about it. Share your excitement and enthusiasm with others. They can be your resources and perhaps resources you didn’t realize existed. Talking about your plan helps to move it forward. When I started telling members of the bike club I rode with that I was cycling across the country they started helping me train. They made sure I was out riding and riding far. They helped me ride hard and fast and prepare for the Rocky Mountains. Share the plan.

The last step is to do it!

Being a dreamer is great when you take hold of the dream and move it into your life. Dream, create, live.
