Use Law of Attraction to Achieve Success in Life
Applying the Simple Truth that Like Attracts Like
Sep 17, 2009
The law of attraction has been described in countless articles, books, CDs and even DVDs. Yet it can be misunderstood, become overcomplicated, and often doubted when it doesn't work right away. The law of attraction isn't a magic trick or special formula; it's the simple truth that like attracts like, while discordance tends to repel.
Many have used a formula for law of attraction: envision what you want, think positive thoughts, feel uplifting emotions, and allow what you want to come into your life. Sounds simple enough, by why isn't it for many people? When a person approaches it like a formula, it isn't based in ease and authenticity; it comes from a place of trying, effort and control.
Like Attracts Like
When two people meet and feel a connection they form a friendship. This is because there is a match between them. They have similar interests, views or life circumstances. Their energy is either similar or it complements each other. This is how life works; in order for two things to be close to each other, they need to resonate at the same level. Otherwise they don't click or flow together, and instead they create disharmony or repel each other.
This like attracts like principle happens with everyone and everything. Each person is drawn to a job, relationship, financial pattern and lifestyle that matches them in some way. It may not be what they really want, but it is what resonates with their beliefs and overall energy set.
For example, if a woman who is shy and insecure applies for a job in a company where the office culture is predominantly confident and outspoken, she will most likely not get the job. If a man has self-worth or self-esteem issues, he will tend to work at jobs where he is overworked and underpaid. It's not rocket science, it's the law of attraction.
How to Use Law of Attraction
The first step with law of attraction is for people to realize that everything in their life is there because it is a match on some level. No blame, no shame, just energy attracting similar energy patterns. A person can visualize what they want for twelve hours a day, but if they don’t believe they can have it or if they are not a match for it, it won't manifest into their life. And if it does somehow come into their life, it won't stay long unless their beliefs, attitude and overall energy set shift into alignment.
Someone can use affirmations about achieving success in a certain area of their life, but if these positive thoughts are covering up underlying limiting beliefs, their overall energy won't match the success they desire. So the next step in using law of attraction is to uncover the limiting beliefs, corresponding emotions, and attitudes that block success.
When nothing is in the way to block what a person wants to create or experience in their life, success is inevitable. This is what is meant by allowing. Instead of resisting the desired relationship, job, finances or lifestyle with limiting beliefs or negative attitudes, a person's enthusiasm, confidence and optimism naturally brings successful experiences into their life. Like a stream to the ocean, a butterfly to a flower, a person is drawn to what is a natural fit for them.
How to Achieve Success in Life
Success has been described as wanting what you have and having what you want. Yet each person is successful by simply being alive. When a person doesn't have what they want or doesn't want what they have, they are not necessarily unsuccessful. They are successful at attracting what matches their current state. This provides useful information.
As a person looks at how they attracted what they have into their life, by examining their beliefs, attitudes and actions, they can release what no longer serves them and create positive beliefs that are a match for what they want. Then no effort is required to manifest their dreams and goals. What they truly want comes easily into their life. Achieving success becomes as simple as breathing – it just happens naturally.
