The History Of The Law Of Attraction by Norman McCulloch

While the Law of Attraction is getting quite a bit of publicity these days, the concept has been around for centuries and has been known (and used successfully) by great minds throughout history. According to books like The Secret, there’s evidence that the law of attraction was used by Beethoven, Einstein and even Jesus, but you’ve also used it in your own life whether you’re aware of it or not! This is because the Law of Attraction works whether or not you’re aware of it. The main reason for the current focus on it is that if you’re aware that you're using the Law of Attraction, you can control what you attract into your life.

How The Law of Attraction Works

Basically, the Law of Attraction works like this: you create your own reality. What you focus on, what you emote about, is what you draw into your life. What you believe will happen in your life is what does happen. This isn’t as simple as it seems, however, or everyone would have the lives that they want naturally. For example, people who are in debt and continually tell themselves, “I need more money,” don’t find more money, they continue to “need more money” because that is the reality that they create.

Why It Works

Many people wonder why this works, and there are more than one explanation. The two main schools of thoughts go along these lines:

1. The Spiritual Explanation

Many people believe that the Law of Attraction works by aligning God or the Universe with our wishes. We are all made of energy, and our energy operates at different frequencies. We can change our frequency of energy with positive thoughts, especially gratitude for what we already have. By using grateful, positive thoughts and feelings and by focusing on our dreams (rather than our frustrations), we can change the frequency of our energy, and the law of attraction brings positive things (things of that frequency) into our lives. What we attract depends on where and how we focus our attention, but we must believe that it’s already ours, or soon will be.

2. The Traditionally Scientific Explanation

If you’re one who needs things to be a little more easy to prove, there is also a different explanation for how the law of attraction works. By focusing on attaining a new reality, and by believing it is possible, we tend to take more risks, notice more opportunities, and open ourselves up to new possibilities. Conversely, when we don’t believe that something is in the realm of possibilities for us, we tend to let opportunities pass by unnoticed. When we believe we don’t deserve good things, we behave in ways that sabotage our chances at happiness. By changing our self-talk and feelings about life, we reverse the negative patterns in our lives and create more positive, productive and healthy ones. One good thing leads to another, and the direction of a life can shift from a downward spiral to an upward ascent.

Proof That The Law of Attraction Works

Whatever the underlying reason, reams of anecdotal evidence confirm that the law of attraction works. And, for those science-minded folks out there, research does seem to support the positive effects of the Law of Attraction as well. For example, research on optimism shows that optimists enjoy better health, greater happiness, and more success in life (the advantage that optimists share is that they focus their thoughts on their successes and mentally minimize their failures). One of the foundations of therapy is that changing your self-talk can change your life in a positive direction. And millions of people have found success with positive affirmations.

Law of Attraction Caveats

One problem I have with the book The Secret, and with some people's interpretation of the Law of Attraction, is that it's singularly the belief we hold that good things will come to us that will bring us all that we desire, without any sort of action behind that belief. Studies on optimists show that it is the optimistic viewpoint that drives the proactive behaviors that in turn bring optimists such great results in their lives. Optimists don't receive their benefits from their attitudes alone—it's the behavior the attitudes inspire that creates real change.

More importantly, critics of The Secret and other books about the Law of Attraction point out the very real concern that people may start to blame themselves for negative events that are outside their control, such as accidents and injuries, layoffs due to the financial crisis, or major illnesses. My belief is that we can't always control our circumstances, but we can control our responses to them. In this vein, the Law of Attraction can provide the optimism and proactive attitude that's associated with resilience in difficult situations, but must not be used as a tool of self-blame. Our responses to the challenges we face can make us stronger in the end, and the Law of Attraction can be used for that end, but should not be applied negatively, or it can be more destructive than helpful.

The 15 Commandments Of Human Behavior by Bob Bly

I think everyone who wants to be a kind and decent human being should adhere to these "15 commandments of human behavior":

1. Don't brag. It makes those less fortunate than you feel bad about themselves. You feed your ego at their expense.

2. Don't give unsolicited advice. People don't like it and anyway, who asked you?

3. Be generous with others. In social situations, always reach to pick up the check first. In your business dealings, make sure the other person comes out a little bit better than you.

4. Be kind to children and animals.

5. Help those in need.

6. You have two ears but only one mouth, so nature is telling you to listen twice as much as you talk.

7. If it's not too late for you to heed this advice, have kids while you are still in your 20s.

8. Spend a lot of time with your kids while they are young and still want to be with you. Once that time is gone, it's gone forever.

9. Keep your mind and imagination active. If nothing else, read a lot of books.

10. Don't waste time and energy being jealous of the rich, successful, powerful, famous, thin, buff, athletic, talented, and good-looking. As Max Ehrmann said, "There will always be those greater and lesser than you." Almost everyone in my gym is younger and fitter than I am. I don't care.

11. Don't avoid going to the doctor because you are either stoic, macho, or afraid. Delaying going to the doctor when you have symptoms could literally kill you, as it did my grandmother and my father.

12. Exercise at minimum 3 hours a week. Three out of ten Americans do not exercise at all. I had a period of a few years when I did not. Terrible.

13. Don't waste too much time with social media. Real life is better.

14. Be humble, not arrogant. Humble people are forgiven if they stumble; arrogant people are not.

15. Be a nice and kind person. Treat others with good manners and respect.

A lack of THIS could cost you...Expensive!

Having low self-confidence can literally cost you thousands.

A lack of confidence makes us doubt our abilities and judgment and prevents us from taking calculated risks, setting ambitious goals, and acting on them.

Confidence is such a decisive factor that people who have it earn thousands more a year than people without confidence. For every incremental amount you improve your self-confidence, you empower yourself to advance your financial success.

But why is it that so many people have such a difficult time with self-confidence?

It’s mainly because most of us haven’t been taught HOW to maintain the correct mindset and practice the skills that reinforce confidence.

Barrie Davenport is determined to change that. That’s why she is releasing her course on overcoming self-doubt and forming enduring confidence.

If you feel frustrated and stuck and want to overcome the limitations and beliefs holding you back from your potential, "Simple Self-Confidence" is exactly what you need.

Anxious about trying again and failing? Her process will eliminate that uncertainty, and you’ll come away knowing exactly what to do to boost your confidence right now and sustain it for life, even when you have difficulties or failures.
