The Law of Attraction

The Third Forgotten Law - The Law of Attraction

I remember the first time I saw The Secret. I had just started my new business and my business partner loaned me his copy. I was enthralled. I remember when I stumbled across all of Bob Proctor’s material online and was excited. I truly believe that all of this, all of it, is the result of the law of attraction.

I have noticed that most people attract into their lives things they don’t want rather than work on attracting what they do want. Bob Proctor talks about a bumper sticker he used to have which said “Expect a Miracle”.  Voltaire said a miracle is a word we invented to explain the known effects of unknown causes. Maybe all you need to do is “Expect a Miracle”?

Has something ever happened to you that you cannot explain? I know it has happened to me. I know a lot of people think I am talking about money but it isn’t about money – it is about EVERYTHING. I want you to start to EXPECT big things to happen to you.

A lot of people talk about the Law of Attraction. I don’t know how many millions of people have seen The Secret but I’ll bet it is in the hundreds of millions. So many people have heard of it but how many people understand it and work with it? How many people think the Law of Attraction is a primary law? It isn’t – the Law of Vibration is the primary law.

Mr. Proctor says we “live in an ocean of motion” – that absolutely everything is vibrating. Anyone who has had grade school science will remember this. The brick that makes up the walls of my house are constantly vibrating. Absolutely nothing is resting.The atoms that make up every molecule are constantly moving.

Every day we manipulate the vibration of something in order for it to do something for us we want it to do. Example? Water. I can increase the vibration of water to a point where it is so excited it boils. Then I pour it on green tea leaves and the leaves change their vibration releasing oils and flavours for my enjoyment.

How do we do this to attract intrinsic things into our lives? Our brains activate out thoughts. Our thoughts control the vibration we are in. Our vibration controls what we attract into our life. Absolutely everything that comes into our lives we have attracted. Everything. When we get a cold we did not necessarily attract a virus BUT we were likely living in a very confused state of vibration before that and once the virus gestated in our body we got the sniffles!

DO NOT focus on the negative. Do not fight the negative. Most people focus on what they do not want. Most people chant a mantra about getting out of debt. What they need to focus on it prosperity. When you are cold you do not think about negative cold, you think about heat. When you are hungry you think of food. STOP trying to change the bad – let it go – instead, focus on the good you want.

See what you want as present in your mind. Once you see the good you want in your mind you will have it intellectually. Once you can internalize it you will have it emotionally. Once you have it emotionally it will only be a period of time before you will attract it physically.

So start today. Write down a list of everything you want in life. Write it in the present tense. For example I write down that I am grateful now that I have been able to retire Linda (my wife) to do what gives her satisfaction. When you have that list of positive things read it aloud to yourself. Then write it again tomorrow. And keep going.

Focus on the good. Let go of the bad. You will attract the good you want in your life.

The Universal Law of Attraction.

The Law of Supply

I am 100% sure a lot of people will fight me on this one. At least 95% of people are negative thinkers and will not understand The Second Forgotten Law: The Law of Supply.

The universe has an infinite supply of everything. I have friends that will immediately point to non-renewable resources such as oil and say “See?!?! It is NOT infinite!!!!” I want to turn that small argument on its ear and change the word OIL to ENERGY. Energy is infinite in this universe. As a species we have spent the last 100 years or so using the wrong sources (oil, etc.) for energy. We will figure that one out soon!

I want to use wealth as an example of infinite supply. I grew up with the misunderstanding that wealth is finite and the rich get more and the poor get less. Not even close. The rich understand this. Wealth is infinite and indefinable. I am not even going to go into the indefinable here.

Let me use a very stark example. If wealth were finite then as soon as Bill Gates started to amass his fortune – and now he is supposed to be one of the richest men on the planet – one of the “old money” families would have been upset. The thing is the more of something you have, the more comes to you. Both good and bad.

I remember when my wife was pregnant with our daughter, Ainsley. Linda was sad one day and really, really upset. I asked what was wrong and she couldn’t understand how she could love a new baby when she loved our son Morgan so much. I understood that the more love your heart holds, the more it CAN hold. Infinite supply.

I have met people who are considered poor. Well, they considered themselves poor. “The rich get richer while the poor get poorer” was their mantra. And they were right. They fell into that mindset and every time they turned around they were poorer and the people they were watching who they considered rich were getting richer. I know it sounds simplified but had they changed their mindset…..

I worked a little bit in the Dominican Republic and the rich there were very good at getting the poor to think in the mindset they were stuck. There is a LOT of money in the DR – they have limited natural resources but the tourism industry is strong. There are probably a handful of wealthy families there. They want the poor to remain poor. At least that was my exposure a decade or more ago.

Except for a small number. I remember our driver Jesus. He scraped together a small down payment and bought himself a mini-bus. He was clean, presentable and spoke English. For other tourists like Germans he had a translator. We ended up j=hiring him for the entire time we were there. He was awesome. He is on the wealth curve and if he kept up his philosophies he is likely a wealthy man in the Dominican Republic.

Do not limit your thinking. If thinking was limited to a thought that there was a finite supply of ANYTHING then we would not have made any great achievement on earth. All we need to do for ourselves is CREATE what we want. That’s it. Create our goals. No one will do it for us. We either spend our lives creating our own dreams or creating someone else’s.

The Universe loves detail. Write out what you want from your life and set in RIGHT now achieving it.

Have a day full of wonder!

The Law of Thinking

The 11 Forgotten Laws – Number 1 – Thinking

I listened to a great seminar series by Bob Proctor on the 11 Forgotten Laws. If you have watched the movie The Secret you will know Bob Proctor. He talks about the Law of Attraction. Much later I stumbled across his seminar series on the 11 Forgotten Laws.

I’m not about to repeat everything Mr. Proctor said, I am going to summarize it in my own words. As I understand them.

The Law of Thinking is as simple as it sounds. Our subconscious mind controls our thoughts. In order to change our lives we must change our thoughts. But there is a paradox here in that our subconscious controls the conscious. Our subconscious makes decisions based on our paradigms. Paradigms are basically habits we have formed over our lifetimes that make our decisions for us.

And remember this – the human mind is negative. Our brain has one function – to protect us. Everything that happens to us our subconscious mind asks “Friend or Foe?”. We are a reactionary creature.

Think about it for a while and look back just over your recent day. How many decisions did you actually make? I’ll bet very few. I imagine that most of what you did today was habitual. Wake up, brush teeth, coffee, breakfast and more – just habits. Including your decisions.

Now reflect on things, important things, that you would make a decision about. Now ask yourself if you thought about your decision before answering. I’ll bet most of the important decisions in your life you make just by habit.

So the Law of Thinking means that in order to get somewhere different, you have to change your thinking – your decisions. In order to change your decisions you need to change your paradigms. In order to change your paradigms you need to change your habitual way of thinking.

This sounds hard. In fact it is very easy. It is very hard to KEEP doing it but it is easy to do. As one mentor says, what is easy is also easy not to do. Start doing it and keep doing it.

I see this as a two part system. First of all, my thinking has got me into the mess I am in now. Therefore I must change my thinking in order to change my life.

First of all I am re-programming my mind. Every morning and evening I go through a conscious re-programming of my thoughts. In the morning I go over my goals and everything I am grateful for. Every evening as I am in bed I go over everything that happened during the day and how I responded to them. I also reflect on the things that happened to me during the day I should be grateful for.

The other thing I do is I keep my mind focused on my main goal. I have a big hairy audacious goal (BHAG – Read Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect) of being Senior Vice President BUT in order to achieve that goal I have many smaller goals I need to achieve on the staircase to my Major Purpose in Life. I have my goal on a card that I review several times a day.

The Universe LOVES clarity. The clearer and more focused your thoughts the better. I m not wishy washy about my goals. I am crystal clear.

I believe that the reason the Law of Attraction works best is with the 11 Forgotten Laws. Negative actions and thoughts attract negative reactions in an instant. Positive thoughts and actions attract positive results but usually very slowly. The Law of Thinking is an important step.

Start right now. Start to change your thoughts so you can change your habits. Make your paradigms positive and healthy. Start THINKING. Be clear about your thoughts and goals.

I’ll see you on the other side!

Laughter - the best medicine

"Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." - Mark Twain

Earl Nightingale tells of how certain native American peoples would punish thieves by laughing at them. It is kind of odd but if you think of any group of people, is someone is centred out and laughed at they wither. That can be both a good and a bad thing I suppose.

Rather than fight something you see as being an injustice or just being wrong, how about laughing at it rather than fighting it? What do you think would happen if you started looking at your difficulties and challenges in a different light. Laugh at your problems rather than stew on them. I’ll bet the problems change entirely.

I think what Mark Twain was getting at though is, in my opinion, the fact that laughter and lightheartedness and break a lot of things down.

Laugh at things from now on.
