Law Of Attraction – What Is It
The “Law of Attraction,” is the idea that because of our connection with a “universal energy force,” our thoughts and feelings have the ability to manipulate this energy force to our liking.
If our thoughts are negative (even though outwardly we are expressing positively), we attract negative things. If our feelings are positive, we attract positive things.
This means that we all have the power to create our own reality. We all can create our own destiny.
By consistently and fully apply “The Law of Attraction”, we can have everything we want to have and be whomever we want to be.
The Pygmalion effect is based on the idea that expectations can influence beliefs, behavior and thus results. The “Law of Attraction” goes even beyond that. It basically states that we attract towards us whatever we generate and create in our minds and feelings.
Through our thoughts these “Universa”l energies obey our ‘requests’ so that we are able to virtually create our own realities with our thoughts.
The Law of Attraction is like the internet. If you don’t use the correct search words when looking for something, you won’t get the desired result (what you’re looking for). The search engine doesn’t work on it’s own. it’s neutral and only responds to your clear intention (search word). In this sense YOU are the creator.
The Law of Attraction works the same way by returning to you what you are thinking about (search word).
Do I Believe The Law of Attraction Works?
I have first-hand experience successfully manifesting desired outcomes using The Law of Attraction. I refuse to believe what I’ve accomplished is due to serendipity or coincidence. When I’ve applied fully and completely The Law of Attataction I can point to results.
Here’s how I see “The Law” . . . . Visualization +Emotion +Action=Manifestation. You don’t even have to “believe” in “The Law” for it to work.
The key element in my equation above is “Emotion”.
Here’s a good place to explore “The Law of Attraction” for yourself
Manifestation: A Powerful Tool
Why not stop and think about it, what you are manifesting right now.
How do you feel about what you are manifesting and do you feel like it is your creation?
You may have some doubts about this but you are already an expert at manifesting?
Just look at everything around you and all the experiences that you have been having.
If we can move forward from that belief that we are already creating the things that are in front of us, we can also think that it is possible to change what we are manifesting.
So if manifestation is a given, then how do we change what we are manifesting.
Focus on what you want: Focus on the feelings of what you want and feel positive about it, positive about having it, feel good in your body and emotions.
The opposite of this is to focus on not having it and that we should have it. This is an important point so think about this for awhile. Think back to the experiences that you have had and how you felt about those things before they were delivered. Think about things that came easy and things that were difficult. Use you own experiences to take this point to a deeper level deeper.
Start to take inspired action towards having what you want. Inspired action means to take action with awareness of how it makes us feel as we move towards having what we want.
Taking action with awareness allows us to know when we are coming across some limiting beliefs and to recognize the negative voice that tells us to stop or change direction.
The simplest method to follow when we hit a negative belief, it to just ignore it and replace it with a positive one. This may take some repetition but it is well worth it.
There are plenty of other techniques for belief change which can be used at a later stage. Starting the ball rolling is the most important thing at first.
Continue to take action with awareness and you will know when you making the decisions that will support what you want. If you get off track, just laugh and get back on again.
Choose what resources you would like to help you and stay aware for their delivery.
Personal growth is a lot about knowing who we really are and using conscious manifestation is a great tool to learn a lot about ourselves. When you master conscious manifestation you will also realize at a deeper level that it was really you who created all those experiences.

As Lucky As The Only Man In A Women’s Prison With A Fist Full Of Pardons!
Well, as it turned out, she stood me up because I avoided her during the week and she thought I forgot or changed my mind because I didn’t remind her.
Our imaginations can cause us to feel the thrill of triumph, or, the feeling of getting caught with our pants down. Here is another scenario for you. When I started my second online business, I did a lot of research to determine what the roadblocks there would be and how much competition I had to deal with.
I was astonished when I went to the search engines and found over 5 million competing sites for the very competitive keywords I needed. So, I decided this would have to be a very precision undertaking and would require the right mind-set to stay motivated enough to see it through.
I described to myself the kind of imagination that would be necessary to succeed. I wanted to be in the top ten of at least two major search engines with one keyword. So, every time I imagined my site on a search results page, I would see it in the top ten listings.
Filled To The Brim!
About 4 months of intensive effort and keeping my desire in my imagination, and whalla!…I’m there. But, not with just one keyword, I’m there with four keywords and in 4 major engines all in the top ten. Someone said, “are you telling me you just imagined yourself into the top ten”?
Yes and no. If I hadn’t kept my focus on the desired imagination, I would never have lasted for the amount of effort it required. The easiest part was the imagination part. The harder part was the grinding it out day by day. But, with the wrong kind of focus, your imagination will sap your strength and leave you in a fine kettle of fish.
Make No Bones About It!
Imagination without perspiration is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Our imagination was created to do a specific job, and it does it very well. It was not meant to be a garbage dump for “life sucks, my goose is cooked, up the dirty river, dead as a dodo kind of attitude.”
Now, if you use it that way, it will take that attitude and process your dream into a living color sewage dump while you stand around scratching your rear end trying to figure out what happened.
But, if you describe to your imagination the wonderful things that you would like to see happen, then your imagination has the fuel it needs to keep you motivated. And, the next time you need some get-up-and-go, you’ll feel the fire in your desire.
Next time you find yourself in a situation that you really need to succeed in, do this. Write down the most positive outcomes you can think of that could possibly happen. Write down 4-6 outcomes that seem plausible. Then, read them daily, everyday until the project is completed.
Entertain High Hopes!
Will this guarantee success? You know better than that. Here’s the guarantee. If you do it, your chances are a hundred times greater of success than if you don’t because your imagination will be supporting you, aiding you, giving you a feeling of signed, sealed and delivered. That’s when living gets fun.
Manifest Your Desires
Part 1 of two
Imagine this. You’ve got this huge dream you just turned into an exciting accomplishment. You had a huge problem you turned into a beautiful masterpiece. You had a giant obstacle you formed into a personal triumph, and now….., you give a long stare at your prized possession and say, ain’t that just the cat’s pajamas.
There’s Just One Problem!
That’s not the way most people imagine. Yep, most people imagine the thing falling all apart. They put their “imaginer” in reverse and see all sorts of doo-doo falling on them. Why do they do that? Here is one observation.
They have never been told by someone or told themselves to do otherwise. Now wait a minute before you grab the remote control. Think about this. What did you do in the first paragraph? Did you imagine all kinds of doo-doo falling on you? NO! Why? Because I told you what to imagine.
Now, if you did like I asked you to, you imagined some wonderful incident in your life and how that would play out if all those wonderful things happened. And, it made you feel terrific. So, it stands to reason, if we would imagine all kinds of wonderful things happening, at the beginning of an opportunity, similar results would happen.
Things tend to play out in reality the way they play out in our imaginations. The exact specifics of any situation may not look just like they did in our imagination, but, the end result is the imagined conclusion.
For example; I remember when I was a young teenage boy. I had a crush on a girl that I wanted a date with so bad. I imagined that there was no chance for me cause she was soooo… beautiful. I imagined that she would laugh at me if I even looked like I wanted to ask her for a date.
A Faint Heart Never Won A Fair Maiden!
Well, somehow I managed to get up the nerve to ask her for a date the next Friday night. Now mind you, all that week I was imagining her telling me, in one of our classes, that she had to cancel. So, I tried my best to avoid her the whole week. But, she didn’t cancel.
You know what she did? Yep; she stood me up. I was too afraid to call during the week to confirm the date because I didn’t want her to tell me she couldn’t go. So, I just show up at her house at the prescribed time and her father tells me she went out with the girls.
Well, dummy me, I said, do you know what time she’ll be back? He laughed and said, no. Here’s the point. The details didn’t play out exactly the way I had imagined them, but the end result was just what I imagined; no date with miss beautiful.

Switchwords – How To Use Them
Switchwords is a little-known 60 year-old secret top achievers have been using to make their dreams come true. If the law of attraction hasn’t been working for you keep readking.
Switchwords are truly magic words that vibrate to a human truth and to our own intuitive knowing. They are a doorway to the Kingdom within. Freud seems to have first noticed that there are specific words that trigger responses from the unconscious.
James Mangam came up with the concept of positive triggers in the nineteen fifties and spread it in the sixties in his book, “The Secret to Perfect Living,” (now in a new printing). Some switchwords are ancient words that have been around for eons. Others are catchy keywords in songs or in TV commercials. They contain the essence of an experience, a condition or a feeling. Other switchwords have a personal appeal.
Follow That Impulse!
When you use a Switchword, you will often get an impulse or a thought to do something, and that is the response to your command, or suggestion. Follow that impulse! If you ask a friend to help you out and you then refuse that help, you can imagine what will happen.
If you use the Switchword COUNT, to make money, and you get an idea, follow it up. The thoughts or impulses may seem illogical, but remember that they are not coming from a place of logic, but of knowing.
For example, you may want to rejuvenate your business, and so you use the word LEARN. Using it often, suddenly you think of a friend you haven’t talked to in a long time. What does that have to do with your business? But call them! You may find, in talking about your business, that they are experiencing the same thing and have found the most wonderful consultant to help them. Follow that impulse!
Like many people, I have had problems with negative thinking about others, and I find if I use the Switchword FORGIVE when I notice I’m in one of those loops, the thoughts clear fairly soon. If they come back, I just use FORGIVE again. It has worked in the most difficult situations, and is beginning to train me to go to forgiveness sooner in my thinking.
Switchwords: List Of Words To Use
Switchwords create a bridge between what we want and desire, and the Inner Being that can help us achieve our goals.
We use these words to gain help or inspiration or wisdom from within. They work for healing, for manifestation, for character development, for spiritual growth, indeed for almost any aspect of human life. Their use can bring self-confidence and renewal. LEARN is one important Switchword for just this. CHANGE is another powerful switchword to relieve pain, or speed healing. Say it until you have a positive change.
The Switchword TOGETHER is the master key to re-establishing that inner relationship. This is what James Mangam discovered. The word is a hypnotic suggestion that opens the door to the vast storehouse of knowledge, personal and planetary, that is within us. It reflects the truth that we are all in this together, plants, animals and people.
Because it speaks the truth in a single word, it bypasses ego and all its works, like skepticism and argument. Other Switchwords are shortcuts to specific information that is held in our unconscious for handling specific issues. They all work best if thought of as a suggestion, an intention.
One way to begin exploring switchwords is to simply say the switchword, TOGETHER, in a thoughtful and aware way. Say it several times. Think about how it feels, what it makes you think of, and what your impulse is after saying it. Some people cry, others laugh and some become very quiet and centered. Or try this.
The next time you lose track of something, say REACH. Perhaps say it more than once, and then follow your inner prompting to where the thing might be. You may be very surprised! If you have trouble getting to sleep when your mind just won’t shut down, try the switchword OFF. Say it several times and you may slip off to slumber easily.

Goal Setting: An Alternative View
Do we really need to set goals or are we continually setting ourselves up to fail? I’ve long been an advocate of goal setting even if it only helps us to focus our attention on something to achieve rather than wandering aimlessly through our lives. However during one of my moments reflection I had the thought of whether or not we really need goals.
When I see certain people who pass through their lives without so much as a thought about goal setting; they seem as “happy as larry”. Yet there are other people who ’swear by’ goal setting and will not undertake any activity unless it is one of their goals and a part of their personal development programme. If it’s not there and they see a value in it they’ll work it into their programme at the first available opportunity.
So who doesn’t need goals or use goal setting? There are people, and many of them, who enter into this world and live in the family home for their whole life. They inherit the house from their parents when they ‘pass on’ and remain in the house until their ‘passing’. They work in the same job for their whole life, all be it, this isn’t happening as much today as it used to.
They holiday at the same destination year in year out. They frequent the same social settings for many years. In fact their life seems to be a continuum of repetition, however they enjoy it and their happiness is plain to see. So why is there a need for them to include goal setting in their, what appears to be, perfect life. The answer is there isn’t a need, none whatsoever. They’ve achieved their goals and found their purpose in life.
They are extremely happy, alright, they don’t seem to have the same ambition as the goal setting fanatics amongst us but they’re happy and that’s all that matters to them.
All too often the goal setting principles are pushed down our throats; insisting we need to take them up if we want the life that somebody else is living. I think that thought completely contradicts the principles of goal setting in that they are supposed to be your own goals!
I have identified four situations around goal setting and the achievement or otherwise of success, as explained below:
Goal setting with positive results
The person who falls into this category avidly sets goals on a regular, if not daily basis, and achieves the results they want consistently. They invariably want for nothing apart from another goal to set.
Goal setting with negative results
The person who falls into this category avidly sets goals on a regular, if not daily basis, however they fail to achieve the results they want on a regular basis. They are found wanting as they strive for success with their goal setting.
No goal setting with positive results
The person who falls into this category achieves positive results on a regular basis, however goal setting is not part of their life nor will it ever be. They see no purpose in the activity and they are happy to continue their life as it is.
No goal setting with negative results
The person who falls into this category never achieves positive results neither do they have goal setting as part of their life. They either have a lack of awareness of it, never been introduced to it or they have no interest in it despite their lack of successes.
When you are next discussing the idea of setting goals for yourself, whoever it is you are discussing it with make sure it’s your goals you are talking about not the goals of another person who is promising you the world if you follow the process they are offering you.
For instance, if you’ve never even considered being a millionaire and somebody turns up telling you, you too can be a millionaire, question your motives for wanting to achieve this status. Is this what you want? Are you ready for this in your life right now? What do you really want in your life right now? Goal setting is a great process; it works for me and I will continue to use it.
By all means use a goal setting process in your life but make sure you are at the centre of the process with your goal and not one someone has set for you. Include the process in your Personal Development Training
