Law of Attraction - Can You Attract Wealth Just By Thinking About It?

As a writer, practitioner, and helper in all things connected with the Law of Attraction and its use, I sometimes come across people who have got the wrong idea. I'm fairly sure now that I've seen pretty much all the different ways in which someone can get the wrong idea about the Law of Attraction and how it works. I'm prepared to see some new ones though.
After all, in a very real way, that's what I'm here for - to try to help people to arrange their thinking about their life and the Law of Attraction (LOA) so they can get favorable outcomes, instead of the same old unfavorable ones.
One of the most common misconceptions is that you can use the Law of Attraction to achieve vast wealth and a perfect lifestyle, without actually having to DO anything.
This wrong thinking tends to be the domain of people who have watched the movie, The Secret, but were not really watching it very carefully! The Secret is a fine movie, featuring some of the most wise and successful LOA practitioners and teachers. But it is quite possible to come away from it believing that all you need to do is to think happy thoughts and wish for wealth, and all your troubles will be over. A large truck will come and dump a whole stack of currency on your front porch, courtesy of the Law of Attraction.
Of course, it doesn't work like that.
The people who have this misconception will quite naturally get frustrated when this approach fails to work. But it's interesting to note one thing. Many of them, when they fail in this way, do not conclude that there is something wrong with the way they are applying the Law of Attraction. No, they tend to blame the Law of Attraction itself for not working.
The news is that there's something that's not working, true enough, but it's not the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is always working. It can never be switched off. We have said that enough times already, but maybe we will say it many more times in the future. The Law of Attraction is always working. The problem is in the wrong thinking of the person who has the idea that the Law of Attraction does not work. It is simply not true that LOA teachers tell you that you can just sit around and wish for money and it will somehow float towards you.
In my work with SFI, I've seen many examples of this misconception. People sign up to my team, and they can do that for free, because SFI does not require a fee upfront to join and start a business. The idea behind this, of course, is that anyone from any background can sign up, and begin to learn all they need to know for making a successful business with unlimited earning potential.
But then after they sign up, many of them do not actually do anything much. I suppose they thought that signing up was all they had to do. While this is a great first step, it is only that. The first step. You have to continue walking forward.
When you use the Law of Attraction, the first thing you must do is to change your thinking. Start to put out a positive vibration to the universe and the world around you. Make yourself feel confident. Always look out for the best in everything.
If you do this, I guarantee that the universe will then respond by showing you ideas. These ideas will be ways in which you can move forward into abundance. They will be custom-made for you. People will come up to you unexpectedly and suggest ways that you can improve things, or start a scheme or venture or a new business. This will be as a result of your positive thinking and your expectancy.
When this happens, you have to be ready to act on these ideas and hints and suggestions. You can let a few go by, but if you keep on letting them go by, then pretty soon they will stop coming.
Let's suppose you want to catch some fish. It won't be much use to you to sit at home thinking happy thoughts about it. You have to get out on the lake, with a boat, and with a rod and line if you want to catch some fish. And if the fish don't come the first few times, then you have to keep going out there until you find them. So you have to do both of these necessary things - think positively about catching the fish, and then take the action to catch them.
This approach does not only apply to fishing, but to everything that you choose to do. Any project, any scheme, any business.
It is just not enough to have the thoughts. You have to then be ready to take the action when the opportunities appear. If you do this, then you will see how the Law of Attraction works for you. With time and patience, the abundance of wealth that is rightfully yours will begin to appear.

I've Heard That Thoughts Are Things - Is This Correct? How Do I Harness This Principle?

I am well aware that many people are surprised to hear that thoughts are things. However, it is very important to realise that they are in fact things, and like a special possession, need to be guarded and treasured. To better understand this point, it is probably best to explain the method of operation of the brain. Whilst this may sound a little clinical, the fact is that the brain is transmitting waves throughout itself, which are instructions or thoughts. Some are conscious and deliberate, like deciding to read, or say something, but there are also the automatic functions like heart control, breathing, and other body instructions. Then, there are the subconscious beliefs or as I like to say, the way we really think. By this, I mean that we may sometimes say one thing, but deep within ourselves, be feeling something else. This is an important point to understand and we need to recognize that it is imperative to control our true thoughts as they can massively influence our results, and those of others around us.
When we think, apart from instructing other parts of our bodies to do something, we are also sending electric waves that are not that much different from radio transmission waves. Have you ever thought about the machines that are used to record brain wave activity? They work by attaching electrodes around the brain, and the sensors picking up electrical activity in the brain. In a similar manner, our brain waves are also sending signals outwards and this is part of the way extra sensory perception works. Our bodies can in fact pick up other people's brain waves around us, when we are trained to pick the signals up. Again, it is like a radio receiver. There may be a number of stations in your area, but your radio will only be tuned to one station at a time. Hence, the pick up makes sense, rather than a jumbled mess.
The point I am wanting to make here is that others can pick up our thoughts, not necessarily as one particular item, but rather in general terms. Hence, if we are positive in our expectation, we are more likely to receive the result of our desires. We still need to work towards our goals, but you will find, on reflection, that your desires materialize more quickly when you have the right attitude and expectation. It can still take time, but with further reading, and your own experience, you will be able to prove this point to be true.
I have also found that by practicing thoughts of forgiveness, and releasing tension and worry, I am able to be much more effective in my dealings with others. Again, I attribute this to the way we project our thoughts outwards. I understand this can seem quite controversial, but equally, I assure you, based on my experience and others I have read about, that it works. You can only gain from this principle, by understanding and then applying it.

Use the Law of Attraction to Attract Money Into Your Life

Right now, it seems like everyone is hurting for money. Times are tough, no one feels safe in their job or their home, and being able to get the money you need just to pay the bills seems almost impossible. But, by using the Law of Attraction, you will be able not only to attract money that you need, but money that you deserve to enjoy your life to its fullest.
The key to being able to attract money is to not think about your bills at all. That may be hard, especially when they keep coming in the mail every day, but you really have to change your mindset. If you think of bills, worry about them, and stay up at night thinking how to pay them off, then the only thing you are going to attract are more bills.
You can begin to attract money instead of bills by visualizing the feeling of having money. What would it feel like if you had all the money you needed and more? How would you feel if you had no debt at all and could happily look up your bank balance and get excited about how big it was? What would your life be like if you could run to the mailbox each day, looking for another expected check, rather than an unexpected bill?
Many millions of people have changed their lives by changing the way they feel about money. Instead of dwelling on the bills, they focus on the joy and excitement of wealth and abundance. They make plans for the money that they will have, which should include helping others and being grateful. By doing this, you will find that getting more money than you could ever want is much easier that you might think, and that wealth is just around the corner.

Attract a Mate Using The Law of Attraction

Most times, the past relationships are so easy to complain about. We seem to know EXACTLY what we didn't like about that person. They were too this...they were too that. Why do I always attract this kind of relationships or dating experiences? Or maybe you don't attract ANYONE and can't understand why. It's probably because you keep putting out in the universe that you don't think that you can attract anyone.
In order too attract a man or to attract a woman using the laws of attraction, it's important to realize WHY you attract the mates that you do. The vibes you're putting out in the universe is what the Laws of Attraction are going to bring back to you!
Whatever you put your attention on is what you're going to attract. So, if you are always putting your attention on how the mates you choose aren't worth @#%&, then you're going to keep attracting mates that aren't worth @#%&. Believe me, I know this is easier said than done. Like anything else, this takes practice.
To manifest your ideal mate, use the bad experiences you had to get some clarity about the things you want in a mate. Write down all the bad attributes of that person, then right beside it, write down the opposite attribute. Maybe they were a liar, for example. Beside that, write down that you want someone who is honest. Make sure that you write something positive for all the bad attributes you can think of.
Now, you have a positive list to concentrate on. You have clarity. You know exactly what you want and you can concentrate on the positive. The more keep your attention on these positive traits, the more likely these traits are going to manifest themselves in your next date or relationship. With practice, your vibes will change and the Law of Attraction will bring to you exactly what you want!
