Just recently has something called "The Law of Attraction" become vastly popular. Mostly because of celebrities who practice this powerful mind tool. This practice has even been on shows such as Ellen, Larry King, Oprah, and many many more.
There is even a movie on the subject, however the movie gives out a few misconceptions, it the gist. If you are one of the many people just beginning to learn about the subject here are 5 facts you should know:
1. A Change From Inside You
The law of attraction changes what's inside of you. It doesn't change the outside world like the movie would suggest. In 'The Secret' a beam of energy goes out from your head every time you visualize something.
This indicates that it goes out and does your bidding and sends you exactly what you want. The power in the law of attraction is within your attitude. It changes you to see new opportunities or focus on what you want.
2. Focus On Your Wants
You need to focus on what you want. If you sit around and think about all of the things that you don't want, you will inevitably find more of them. If you notice, the people always complaining about how slow business is, usually don't do much business.
However, the one's that are talking about how great it is, usually have more good things happen to them. This is not a coincidence. It is the law of attraction at work.
3. Attraction is Always Happening
The law of attraction is always working. It doesn't take the day off. You can't think about bad things and expect to get good results.
If you are inconsistent with your thoughts, you will be inconsistent in your results as well. The more you practice thinking good things, the faster you will find good things in your life.
4. You Must Believe
Belief is a big part of the law of attraction. Napoleon Hill once said that, 'Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.' This is true and has been used time and again for results. Henry Ford used this very idea to create the first 8-cylinder engine.
He had the picture in his mind of what it would look like. He knew that it could be done and he wouldn't let anyone tell him differently. Many 'smart' men told him otherwise but he wouldn't believe it, regardless.
His team of engineers eventually came up with it just as he suspected. The deciding factor in many of his greatest achievements was his belief. This can be the same for you. Believe that you can do it, and you will.
5. The law of Attraction is NOT a Cosmic Vending Machine
Regardless of what many people say, you can't just put your order in for a new Lamborghini Diablo and go outside and pick it up for free. It usually works in more vague means. You focus on making more money and you will find a way.
This doesn't always mean that a briefcase of unmarked bills will show up on your doorstep the next day. There is definitely a gestation period for the law to work. Therefore, you should be patient when you work towards something. Don't expect results immediately.
Overall, the law of attraction is a powerful tool if used correctly. Just don't get too caught up in the hype.
