I remember being so excited to get my hands on a copy of The Secret. A friend lent me her copy whilst she went on holiday. The launch of the film had created such a buzz everyone was talking about The Secret. Finally a way to make my dreams come true!! I knew all about dream boards affirmations and the power of intention. But why was it that sometimes I was good at focusing and manifesting and sometimes I wasn't.
How about you (now be honest) is that little voice in your head saying things like:
- "It seems to work for other people, but I just can't get it right."
- "I'm frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I can't. What's the trick?"
- "Why am I having so much trouble?"
- "I think the universe is against me."
- "I'm trying very, VERY hard but still nothing is happening!"
The good news is you're not alone. As about 97% of people struggle with making the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round. Think about it, just like anything else in life, you have to practise many times before you see success. Babies don't learn to walk without a few falls along the way. They practise untill Yes they take those first tentetive steps and wow they stayed on their feet.
In reality it's easier said than done. Sometimes it's hard to stay positive when you are frustrated. It's even harder to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screaming negativity like the unstable economy or senseless acts of violence which we see almost every day reported in the media.
And do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That's right you start attracting negative things in to your life.
So how can you make the Law of Attraction work for you without getting frustrated? How do those who successfully use the Law of Attraction and do it with such confidence and finesse?
Well, follow these three quick tips so you will never feel frustrated or tired of asking the universe, because you know how to start manifesting like a pro.
1. Allow Yourself To Receive
When a child asks a question then asks Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Well, if the child goes on and on asking, you can't even give an answer, right?
Well, it's the same thing with your mind. If the only thing your mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe which is trying to respond can't give you a single thing because you're not allowing yourself to receive!
So, have the confidence in yourself and stop exhausting yourself by running around person to person begging for riches, and then wondering why nobody is dropping anything into your cup. (Hint: It's because you're running away too fast for them before they can even reach for their wallets).
Just think of your desires and leave it out there, go away, and trust that your cup will be filled with whatever it is you asked for. when the time is right.
2. Be Patient With Yourself
Receiving takes time.
Sadly, many people give up too soon not realising they are just a couple of steps away from the finish line because they've decided that if it's not working by now, it's never going to work at all. Even worse are those who throw in more and more energy because they think that with more resources, the results will come faster.
This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in 1 month.
You can't bake a cake in half the time by doubling the temperature can you? That cake would be burnt to a cinder!
In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you throw at it.
So relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe, and you cannot change the natural development time.
If you remember this, you will less likely work yourself up into frustration, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral of negativity.
3. Support and Educate Yourself
Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You also need guidance on how to do it, and also the role models to look up to.
Many people give up because they think that "The Secret" has that magic answer. Well, it's NOT. "The Secret" is just a small portion. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer. So what is beyond the Secret?
Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn't work when all you ever did to educate yourself was watch "The Secret" 19 times (without considering making any lifestyle changes the habits of other areas of your life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all you did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day (but you're still stuffing yourself with fried foods and cheesecakes).
So seek and be hungry for new knowledge. Also, make sure you are mixing with people or communities where you can support each other, learn from each other and also share new knowledge that you have found.
Whilst the Law of Attraction is not an overnight delivery service, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part too!
