How to do YOUR part with the Law of Attraction...



Well, in my last post I offered the question of "How do you do your part to truly work in harmony with the Law of Attraction".

Did you come up with an answer?

If you did, I hope that you've posted it as a comment. If not, perhaps you can let me know after you've read my thoughts and see if we agree...

So as we discussed, YOU have a major role in activating the Law of Attraction, and it's a whole lot more than sitting around daydreaming about your future house by the beach and meeting the perfect 'Better Half'!

Many people have been discouraged recently because they feel like they have been visualizing, and 'feeling' abundant and hopeful- but nothing has happened yet.

This is type of reaction is very understandable, and is the whole reason that I'm writing this entry... It's because something is missing- and it's KILLING most people's dreams! The part that is missing is YOU figuring out how to do your part.

So let's get into the meat of it...

Each and every one of us only has NOW in which we can do our part. Dreaming about the future or worrying about the past isn't doing anything except taking you away from NOW- which is where all of your power takes place.

So ask yourself, "What am I doing RIGHT NOW to be create the most favorable conditions for my desires to come into existence?" Once you've done that, now ask yourself, "Who am I 'Being' while I'm working to create these favorable conditions?"

The second question is actually INFINITELY more important than the first one...

"Why?", you ask...

Let's take an example and see... Let's say that your desire is to have a better paying job so that you can make more money. So to reach this desire, what you begin doing is working harder and finishing more work- but you resent every minute of working harder and are 'Being' grouchy or feeling 'Entitled' to get a new promotion.

What do you think is going to happen? Is it possible that you are going to get promoted... sure. But is it LIKELY that you'll get a better job- VERY DOUBTFUL.

Now let's change up what you were 'Doing' and wh0 you were 'Being' in the above example, and see how it changes things.

So now what you 'Do' is not work any harder or smarter and basically accomplish the same results that you have in the past. But as you are doing these things, you do them in a state of complete happiness and joy that exudes from everything you touch, and in all of your interactions with coworkers and clients alike...

Now do you think that you have a good chance of getting that promotion? I would say a resounding 'YES' because of who you were 'Being' not what you were 'Doing'.

To put it another way, if you were the boss or a client, would you rather have someone that gets a little more done, but has a terrible attitude and brings you down. Or would you instead promote someone who works steadily, but brings joy into every interaction with both you and the clients?

I believe that 95% of us would choose the later, and the other 5% of you are either misers, or liars. :)

To take this a step further- In reality, it's nearly impossible for the person with the 'Bad Attitude' to out perform the person who exudes happines, joy, and Love in the long run... Even if they have more talent or skills.

This is simply because everyone loves to work with 'Joyful' people and would rather not work with 'Bad Attitudes'. How about you... would you rather help joyful people accomplish their dreams, or help people that bring you down or believe that you 'Owe' it to them? Most people would rather help the joyful person- so guess how much help they have working toward their dreams?

I hope this helps to clarify that who you are 'Being' is the most important part of you holding up your end of the bargain with the Law of Attraction. If you are 'Being' the highest and greatest version of yourself RIGHT NOW - In this moment- then you will absolutely be prepared when your desires are delivered to your doorstep.

So the question is, who are you 'Being' lately? How are you being with your family, friends, co-workers, clients, strangers on the street, and anyone you encounter? Are you bringing the best of yourself to the table? Or just doing the minimum required to squeek by and still be able to sleep at night?

In the end, it's all up to you... Do you want all that God & the Universe have to offer, or would you rather think up reasons why "It won't work for me..."

Become conscious of who you are 'Being' Right NOW, and the rest will take care of itself...

"Be the Party"

Hi again.

Today I wanted to talk about something that has made a huge difference in my life during the last few years. This single understanding has - in fact - single handedly delivered every source of joy and success in my life.

I was thinking about this because I was recently read a book by Mike Dillard called Magnetic Sponsoring. This is an absolutely fantastic book written for the Network Marketing industry- but which transcends that field and relates to everything in life.

In the book he talks about how to make yourself "Magnetic" by having value to offer people, and by "Being" a leader 100%- or an "Alpha" as he calls it.

His philosophy is that by "Being" a leader who offers massive value to people- you will magnetically draw people to you like ants to a left over pizza crust.

He outlines how to do this from many different angels in the book, and I'd highly suggest you check it out. You can find it at: http://www.treasuremapmarketing.com/ It also comes with some great videos as a bonus.

Anyway, this book reminded me of how important it is the "Be" something before you can "Have" what you want...

Let me explain: Most of us want things, right? We want to have the dream house, or the ideal mate... We want to have many friends, and have money to travel the world while driving funny looking, neon colored, exotic cars.

This is the "Have" in what is termed "Be, Do, Have..." and I first saw thing in Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

I think you'll agree that most of us focus on the things we want to "Have". The problem lies in the fact that the only way to "Have" these things, is to "Do" the proper things to get them. Right?

So, to "Have" lots of friends, you probably need to "Do" things like inviting them out, meeting new people, throwing get togethers, etc. Pretty simple stuff, isn't it?

But where most of us are left scratching our heads is that we think, "I can't throw a party... that's not me." or "Meeting new people is scarier than Don King's hair... I can't do that!"

This is where our limitations come in, and we listen to the preconcieved notions we have about who we can "BE".

These ideas about who we can "BE" is the root of all success or failure.

You see, who we are "Being" directly effects what we are "Doing"- and what we "Do" gives us the results of what we "Have". The paradox is that most of us focus on the "Haves", but never get them... Do you see why?

I'll give you a personal example. When I was young and single, I used to go out dancing at bars, clubs, dance studios, etc. I enjoy meeting people and the good music, but I also REALLY wanted to "Have" a girlfriend. So I'd meet girls, go out on dates, etc. - but could never find any that worked out.

After nearly 5 years of being single, I was fed up. I'd had enough, and I was going to focus on me "Being the Party" - which translates into "I'm going to have fun, NO MATTER WHAT!" That way at least I'd "Be" happy- even if I was still a lonesome single.

Guess what happened?

Yep... a line of girls started forming at the door and I had more attention that I know how to handle.

Now I don't say this to brag- because that's not what it's about at all. What I'm saying is that by me "Being" the greatest version of myself at all times... I started "Doing" the things (ie- being the life of the party) that allowed me to "Have" what I had always desired- a girlfriend.

So once I stared "Being" the right kind of person- the rest came together faster than goldfish at feeding time. It was all about ME... Just "Being" the person (my attitude of 'Have fun NO MATTER WHAT') who "Did" the things (Dancing, joking, meeting new people, smiling, etc) that allowed me to "Have" the people that I wanted to date.

Now, I've probably gone so far down this road that I'm in a different state- but it's made ALL of the difference in my life- So I believe it is ULTRA IMPORANT.

To summarize, when I focus on "Who I am bringing to the table" in every situation, and do my very best to be the "Greatest Version of Myself" then the rest just falls into place.

It's not always easy, but it's ALWAYS worked out for the best.

So, today's questions is: "Who are you bringing to the table?" Is it the best "YOU" or not?

Try it for 14 days and watch the difference it makes!

Feel free to let me know how it goes...
