Are You Willing to Do What It Takes? It is not uncommon for seekers to give up on the Law of Attraction at the first sign of disappointment. In frustration they proclaim, "The Law of Attraction doesn't work!" But, it does. It really does. And I can say this without hesitation because after twenty plus years of study, experimentation and many go-arounds with my own personal frustration, I've done the work to understand the advanced concepts that are fundamental to effective implementation of The Law of Attraction.
There are many reasons why success eludes metaphysical seekers: distorted expectations, misinterpretation of teachings, and giving up too soon are just a few. One of the most far-reaching reasons has to do with lack of discipline. Many people just aren't willing to do what it takes to experience success. And yet, if you're willing to embrace the "disciplines of self-management," the Universe opens its abundant doors to you. Self-management refers to the idea that as spiritual beings having a human experience, we are subject to behaviors, tendencies and instincts that grab our attention and serve to distract us from who we really are and what our souls really want. As a life coach and counselor I've found that these obstacles boil down to four areas of distraction. When we understand these "attraction distractions" and practice techniques to manage our human nature, we effectively get out of our own way and realize our greatest aspirations. The Attraction Distractions Although these behaviors, tendencies and instincts are expressions of our humanity, they are not character traits that you can necessarily get rid of. Instead, ultimate success comes from self acceptance, not self-rejection. The four attraction distractions are: The Ego - Your ego is that part of you that maintains the illusion that you are separate from Source. When you feel separate from Source, you feel alone. You disconnect from your Source of love, safety and supply. So, your perspective moves into an illusory world of limitation - a world where supply of all things is finite, a world where love and support are conditional, a world where your self-perception is dictated by comparison to others and is based in a perception of limitation. Limiting Beliefs - Your beliefs become limiting beliefs when you believe in scarcity, limitation and conditionality. To believe in scarcity means to believe that there is not enough - not enough love, not enough good, not enough forgiveness, not enough money, not enough time - simply not enough. This scarcity consciousness can apply to anything and everything. When you believe in limitation, it means you believe in the apparent finality of our physical world. You've bought into the idea that reality is what you can assess with your five senses. You've adopted human judgments and perceptions as truth. Emotions - Many people have a relationship with their emotions that is stilted, or unconscious, at best. This is a big problem because a) emotions are an unbelievable force in the creation of your dream life and b) if you are living out this life as a mere mortal, as most of us are, life is an emotional prospect. Most of us have a relationship with our emotions that based on control. Either we are trying to control our emotions, or they are controlling us. But to have the slightest sense of the purpose and creative power of our emotions... well, that is just not commonplace awareness. Attachment - Attachment is the opposite of letting go. It is the feeling that has us hold on tightly to a person, situation or thing we feel we must have. It is a common reaction that is based on the idea that happiness and fulfillment come from things, people and conditions outside us. When we are attached to something, we make that external thing our source, rather than turning within to our true source. When we look outside ourselves for our fulfillment, we are in essence telling ourselves that we are not whole, that our wholeness is outside ourselves, that we are separate from our wholeness. The world is your oyster, IF you're willing to do what it takes. When you practice relating to your humanity in productive ways, you begin to access that part of you that is more than human. We embrace and manage our distractions. We do not dismiss or destroy them. By integrating the ego, dismantling limiting beliefs, harnessing the power of emotions and soothing our attachments we begin to get out of our own way, clearing the path to our infinite power as co-creators.
