Law of Attraction Simplified

After constant-every-day thought I finally decided what the best approach to the law of attraction is and I’d like to share it.

The idea of the law is excellent, and it does work, but you have to work also, and work quite hard that is (note: understand that the work doesn’t necessitate the gaining of the object of desire, the work is the remembering how to do it). The good thing is that after a while (taken about a year for me) you condition your mind to notice the things that happen that are a result of what you have thought. My mind has been focused on a lot of smaller things lately and those smaller things have happened (or come to me), this increases my already happy state and just proves what I started to learn (remember) in the first place.

It seems that I’m feeling quite content in allowing the smaller things to come to me instead of concentrating on the larger ones, hey, if life (at lower levels) really is the pursuit of happiness I’m already there.

Learn. Find as much literature as you can, read and understand it. Not only will you discover the science behind it but reading such stuff will create positivity in your life if nothing else, this positivity is a building block for you to experience what you have already known (but not to your consciousness yet).

Here is a short list.

· Ask and it is Given – Esther and Jerry Hicks

· Science of Getting Rich - Wallace D. Wattles

· Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World – William Walker Atkinson

· The Power of Positive Thinking – Norman Vincent Peale

· The Secret – Rhonda Byrne

Do a heap of research online, you will find plenty of material to download and read.

Simplify Your Life. When you stop complicating things you will find it a lot easier to focus and affirmate on what you want, the more you read into things the more clutter your mind will be trying to manage.

Stop it, now.

Are you able to remember the good feeling you get from moving or throwing away a heap of old useless junk? Stop being a packrat and live to your means. If you will not use it in the next 6-12 months, throw it away. Be grateful for what you have and remember, to keep your body (and thus your mind) alive the most basic need is air, food and water. Realise this and build up from it, when you do so you should feel immense happiness and gratitude for what you have and what you have around you.

Allow. Let the object come to you, let the universe bring it to you, relax and allow what is coming to you. Don’t pull the object or rush to obtain it, just let it happen. The idea of this, is simply a confidence builder for your conscious mind, confidence and happiness being a high allowing state. Imagine your mind saying “Hey, nice one, this is already on its way to me”. Do you get the idea?

Always, Always take the time for the beauty around you

I saw this while climbing a tree in a park just southeast of Adelaide. Right now is the perfect time of year to experience nature in its most intriguing form.



Out of the old, weathered, dead branch came an amazing new young shoot.

Old humans can also learn new tricks and they should do so until they are physically and mentally unable to do so.

How to ask a question

I’ve found that a lot of the questions I get asked throughout my day seem to waste a lot of time, when I’m focused on my current task someone asks me a question which distracts me, my thoughts hit a brick wall and I start to refocus on the question that is asked, it happens to everyone, but unless the question is asked with a clear purpose it usually creates nothing but frustration (for me).

I recently read a great paragraph from the Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. This has changed the way I now expect to receive my questions, this is just a start for me to start demanding the following before you ask me.

Ensure you answer yes to the following two questions.

1. Have I decided on a single meaning for each term in this question?

2. Can an answer to this question be acted upon to improve things?

Although the above two points are generally related to existentialism they can be applied to normal life, especially that of a business. Asking these two questions of the questioner can save you a heap of time. Even better is if the questioner is aware of these two before he or she begins to ask.

However you set these questions up you have to be careful not to alienate the questioner, leave ego out of it and explain that a well structured question will get better and faster results in the long run. Most people will understand be attracted to your way of thinking, and also to the fact that you are asking them to tailor that question towards a goal.

Those that aren’t attracted to your way of thinking, well, not really your problem.
