Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

People will tell you that in order to be prosperous you have to have a certain level of education, intelligence, knowledge, know the right people and so on and I am telling you it is simply not true. There are more rules around money and how to make, spend and manage it, than any other subject and when someone gives advice they are generally telling you about their rules.

The most important thing you need to understand about money is that it is energy, nothing more, nothing less. How much abundance you allow into your life is always your choice. I say this with great conviction because not only did I change my own financial circumstances using the prosperity principles I teach in my Money with Soul course, I have helped tens of thousands of other people change their lives as well.

During the seventies I was a single parent and my children and I lived below the poverty line. I am so grateful to have had such an experience because it enabled me to discover just how powerful I really am.

Each week my best friend would visit us and she always brought me a book on prosperity. Authors such as Catherine Ponder, Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone became my coaches, and I knew way back then that I was meant to teach prosperity principles one day.

I know a lot of people say you have to have a plan in order to succeed but I have always found that all I have to do is make a decision, and obviously support that decision with my thoughts, words and actions, and opportunities come to me. Nine years after my youngest child was born I was living in a lovely home and running a women’s investment advisory business. Not only that I was regularly quoted in newspapers and asked to talk about money matters on radio. At every step in my journey from poverty to abundance I simply invoked another prosperity principle.

Eleven years after reaching my lowest point I ran my first course on prosperity. I needed that length of time to learn about myself and life before I could start teaching others. Some of the things that I have learnt are:

There are only 2 emotions that block money coming to you and they are fear and resentment.

Understanding your money values can make it so much easier to achieve your goals.

If you don’t ask you don’t get.

One girl recently wrote to her credit card provider and asked them to reduce the interest on her credit card, they wrote back saying the rate had been reduced by 8%. Another asked her bank to reduce the interest rate on mortgage and they did. A woman wrote to me from the Maldives just after it was hit by the tsunami a couple of years back. She wanted to help the Maldavian people but she didn’t have the money to do my life coach training course. I gave her the Ten Step process at no cost, saying if she applied the principles she would manifest the money to pay for the rest of the course. She did. She is now doing some extraordinary work and reaching a large number of people in her country.

When I look back on those early days one thing I recall is how easy it was to go from where I was to where I wanted to be. The only time my life has ever been a struggle has been when I have gotten stuck in my emotions and when I’ve let the good habits that supported me slip.

Is there a person in the world who does not want abundance in their lives? Do people want to live in poverty? Of course not, but how does one go about gaining the abundance they desire?

Why are some people wealthy and others poor? Some might say that it is just the way the world works; the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and it is usually the rich taking from the poor that makes it so. But, is that true? I guess it depends on perspective.

Granted, there are people who are born into wealthy families, who never have to put much thought into how to get the things they desire, but those are not the people I want to discuss. After all, some people born with a silver spoon in their mouths die bankrupt. I want to talk about the people who have everything they want as the result of doing something to get it.

Why is it that some people seem to attract money, good fortune, fame, etc., while others seem to fail at everything? One word… ATTITUDE!

The Secret, really is no secret at all. It is all in the application of the Law of Attraction. The ‘haves’ know and practice it, and the ‘have-nots’ don’t. It is that simple.

What is the Law of Attraction? It is the scientific principle that states: Like attracts like. If you think about having debt, you will have debt. If you think about wealth, you will attract wealth. If you think about being unhappy, you will be unhappy. If you think about happiness, you will be happy.

For example: When a person focuses on all of the things they don’t have, they become frustrated, angry, and unhappy. But if that same person put the same amount of energy into being grateful for all that they do have, they would begin to feel good. When a person feels good, they go about their day doing things that perpetuate that feeling; attracting more into their life to make them feel even better. When a person feels bad, they tend to do things that perpetuate that feeling too.

Remember what Tinkerbell told Peter Pan…? If you want to fly, just think a happy thought. That is how the Law of Attraction works. Think happy thoughts, focus on them, and take action. You just cannot feel bad, when you’re thinking about good things.

Good thoughts lead to more good thoughts and ultimately to good actions. Bad thoughts lead to more bad thoughts and… You get the picture. People have been writing about it for a very long time. People like: Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, Wallace D. Wattles, etc.. They knew about the Law of Attraction and wrote about it. Millions have read their books, and have learned the secret through them. In fact, the hit movie, The Secret, was based on Wallace D. Wattles book, The Science of Getting Rich, which is all about the Law of Attraction.

It all boils down to this: If you want abundance in your life, you must think about having it, not about not having it. Think about what you have, and be grateful for it, what you want; not about what you lack.

What is the Science of Getting Rich about? The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich. The Science of Getting Rich Seminar is all about teaching how to do things in this “certain” way to create wealth.

Did you know that every thought that we think creates a vibration? Negative thoughts create negative feelings that lead to low frequency vibrations, whereas positive thoughts create positive feelings that produce high frequency vibrations. According to the universal Law of Attraction, “vibes” attract like “vibes”. Have you ever noticed how, when you’re feeling down and depressed, you attract situations that are in line with your state of mind? So logically, the key to attracting only the things that you desire into your life, is to vibrate positive energy. Okay, that sounds simple enough…but how do you DO that?

“If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.” – Oprah

We spend far too much time worrying — about the future, about paying the bills, about upcoming exams, about our health, about getting that promotion. What we’re actually doing when we worry about any situation, is concentrating all our energy on something that we don’t want. Hate, worry, fear, jealousy, anger, sadness are all emotions that make us vibrate negatively. By focusing on unwanted situations we are actually attracting the exact situations that we want to avoid! We would be doing ourselves a favor by focusing only what we DO want, instead of wasting time and energy on the things that we DON’T want.

Opposites Do Not Attract

Obviously, no one can feel good all day long, every day. The key is to do the things that make you feel good as often as you can. Play uplifting music while you drive to work, avoid the television programs that produce negative feelings, don’t read the newspaper if the content affects you negatively, interact only with positive-minded people… just let go and have fun! Learn to monitor your thoughts…if you notice yourself thinking a negative thought, immediately negate its effect by focusing on something that makes you feel good. Remember, there is nothing more important than feeling good! Keep a photo of your kids or pet or favorite actor nearby to help you make that switch. Be grateful for the things that are going well in your life. Do whatever it takes to generate that upbeat feeling, because opposites do not attract…but like certainly will attract like. The Law of Attraction is on the mark each time and it does not make mistakes!

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

In order to get what you desire in life, you have to give those desires regular attention. Fantasize, dream, imagine, focus… for what you create in your mind, you create in reality. If it’s a specific car that you want, order a brochure of it and look through it every day. Think about what color you want and which accessories and options your model has. If it’s a fantasy vacation in the Maldives or the Caribbean, compile your own colorful screensaver, fantasize about those white beaches and crystal clear waters abundant with tropical fish. Paste pictures of your dream home or that sleek yacht that you desire on a board and look at it often. Be excited about it! Focus wholeheartedly and with certainty on what you want, and do so in this moment. Believe that you have what you desire now, today, in this present moment. Focus on how good that makes you feel, and try to generate that feeling as often as you can.

Don’t confuse the Law of Attraction by being inconsistent in your desires. Don’t keep changing your mind, otherwise there’s no way for what you ask for to find its way to you. Be consistent, be determined…but leave the “how” out of it. If you decide the method and schedule by which your desires will come to you, you’re limiting your possibilities to only what you can think of. After all, what if there’s something better out there than what you can imagine? Just trust that it is happening now and allow it to come to you. Follow where your intuition leads you. Don’t worry about it, don’t look for proof, don’t start doubting.

Affirmations are a form of advertising

If you do find that doubts and negative self-talk are getting in your way, you can apply positive affirmations. When used consistently, affirmations will do away with your limiting beliefs and replace them with thoughts that will help you achieve what you desire. Does advertising work? Sure it does – there’s a multibillion dollar industry that proves it and affirmations are a form of advertising with only you as the target audience. Affirmations must be stated in the “I” form, in the present tense and always positively. They should also invoke a positive emotion. For instance: “I deserve large sums of money that allow me to have more fun with my family”, “I choose to effortlessly earn $100,000 per year”, “I enjoy working out regularly and maintaining a trim and slim body that turns heads”, “I choose to attract only healthy and positive people into my life who help me achieve my goals”; “I choose to create a positive, healthy and joyful lifestyle for myself”. You can write them down everyday, or use them as a screensaver, or buy special affirmation or goal setting software that you can use on your computer.

If you’re skeptical about how the Law of Attraction can affect you, just try being happy and positive for a month. It will amaze you how easy it is to get things going your way in that short period of time. A lot can be achieved in relatively little time — why waste any of it by being negative? Get out there and manifest what you want!
