How the Law of Attraction Really Works: Insight from the movie Coco Chanel

Do you seek to practice what people call the "law of attraction" so life will give you what you want

, and then you can do what you would really like to do?

The movie Coco Chanel suggests a different approach. If its insight is correct, the law of attraction doesn't work this way. It worksjust the opposite.

You do what you love, which will grow you into a person who may then draw to you what's needed to be able to become an even greater gift to humanity.

But, you may reason, how can I do what I love doing if I have to work in a job that isn't what I want to do?

Let's suppose you want to write. Well, you do what's needed to keep the wolf from the door, then you use what time is available after this to write.

If you want to be a market gardener but you don't have the property or the money to invest, you work at the factory, shop, or office that pays your bills, then plant a small vegetable or flower garden in pots if necessary.

It's about being faithful in all thelittle things, which invites life to trust us with greater things.

Did you ever hear the statement, "Bloom where you are?" It's such a wise aphorism.

To live consciously, fully in the present moment, is to do whatis available to us instead of obsessing about what we don't have.

We practice the "law of attraction" not by focusing on our hopes for tomorrow, but when we do what is on our plate to dotoday.

Love what you are doing. In its own mysterious way life may then open up the doors for you.

When Coco Chanel first began making hats it was because she had a passion for fashion. Then she worked as a seamstress for someone elsesomeone who wasn't appreciative of her and even resented her talent.

In due time her natural flair began to be noticed. Others recognized her gift. No agonizing, yearning, or "efforting" was required to "make it happen." It just flowed when the time was right.

After she first set up in business, for ten months she was unable to pay her way and was on the verge of falling into the hands of the bailiffs when synchronicity smiled on her in the form of a friend she had lost touch with. Now she had an investor who believed in her.

Being true to ourselves, loving being who we are, prepares us for greater service. We may then attract to us the openings that will allow us to pour our talent out to the world.

As the movie portrays it, Gabrielle Chanel didn't set out to become Coco Chanel. She was simply a young girl who had always loved making hats, way back into childhood.

There's a famous line one often hears quoted, which of course occurs in the movie:

How many cares one loses when one decides not to besomething but to besomeone.

To be "something" is to have an image of ourselves, then go out to try to make the image happen. It becomes an obsession. This isn't practicingattraction at all. It's forcing something.

To be "someone" is to be a real person, true to the love of our life, our unique passion. Life then unfolds in the beautiful flow of consciousness.
