Topic: Personal Development
I know a few people who say that they have tried to use the law of attraction to manifest their desires but have been unsuccessful in their attempts. They say they have watched The Secret many times and applied all the advice given in it but can't manifest their desires.
Does this sound like you?
Well, I was like that for a long time and it took me about 20 years before I really got it! My Personal Development didn't involve enough Personal Growth! You see I was making two fatal errors!
These errors are really not separate but are very much connected, as you will see. The first involved my emotions. I failed to generate enough positive energy around my desires. When focusing on what you want, it is really necessary to feel good! You must generate strong positive emotions and feel the sensations that you expect to have when you achieve your goal! This is actually relatively easy if you are going for things that you really want. Can you imagine just how good you will feel when you have that relationship, car, house, money etc.?
Now the next fatal error is focusing on the lack of what you want. Most people believe they are focusing on their desire when in fact they are focusing on the lack of it! You think to yourself "I would like a loving relationship", you momentarily feel the loving feelings that such a relationship would generate in you but then you start to focus on the fact that you without your perfect person, not a part of a couple, single, are eating alone again! etc. You internally or externally complain about being alone and you express how much you want this relationship while all the time thinking and feeling the lack of it!
Can you see how the two errors tie in with each other?
By focusing on the lack you are generating negative emotions around what you don't want and this keeps things that way or makes them even worse!!
The key is to only focus on what you want!
Use your emotions as a guide - a sort of feedback system that tells you if what you are thinking is making you feel good. If it does then keep doing it. If what you're thinking is making you feel bad then turn the thoughts around until you feel good.
This way you will stay focused on what you actually want and not the lack of it!
Try it & good luck!
