Attraction is ...

Attraction is a beautiful thing. By that, I am referring to the phenomenon whereby you attract things and people in line with your thoughts, into your life.


This means, of course, that if the things and people in your life are not what you'd rather have, and you wish to change them, you should start by changing your thoughts, beliefs and expectations.


Don't be fooled into thinking that all you have to do is think differently and everything else will change. Thinking differently is most definitely a major part of the equation. What it does, among other things, is put you in a frame of mind to do the things that bring about the change you desire. If you do not then take appropriate action though, all your 'positive thinking, beliefs and expectations' would have been a waste of time and (mental) space.


That is one 'gripe' I have about the movie 'The Secret'. Yes it's fantastic in the way it explains the Law of Attraction. The visuals clearly depict the principle, which is very valuable. However, in my humble opinion, (unless they intend to feature a whole sequel devoted to the issue), it glaringly misses out emphasizing a vital connection between your thoughts and your reality: ACTION!


Even the Holy Bible, the greatest inspirational book and success manual in existence, says that 'faith without works is dead'.


You've got to back up your thoughts, beliefs and expectations with the right type of action. Be consistent with this and you will achieve your goals.


Now take this general principle and apply it to a specific challenge in your life.


Be consistent and persistent until you see the improvement you seek. You will attract it. You have to, because it's Law.


Blessings to ya!
