The Law of Attraction : 3 Steps To Maximize Its Effectiveness

The law of attraction is one of the basic universal truths that govern our world. It basically states that like attracts like. What you focus on, expands. Your thoughts and feelings will be reflected through the circumstances in your life. If you focus on positive thinking, then you will attract positive occurrences in your life. If you focus on the negative, then that’s what you will receive. Like the earth’s gravitational pull, you may not be able to see the law of attraction, but you can witness its effect and see how it shapes your life.

The first step to unleashing the power of the law of attraction is to start being consciously aware of your thoughts. Human beings have over 65,000 thoughts a day, and most of them are just the same ones that we run on a loop through our head. The problem comes when many of them are negative, and we listen to that same voice day in and day out.

To stop the negativity, you have to actually start paying attention to that voice, and stop it when you realize it’s focusing on the bad in a situation. For instance, when you get stuck in a traffic jam, and you start getting irritated and you feel your blood about to boil, look for the good in the situation.

Be glad that you weren’t in the wreck that caused the traffic jam. Take the time to listen to a song on the radio, call an old friend, or map out your next big goal. If you look at problems as opportunities for growth, you’ll not only start attracting more positive events, but you’ll also be so much more productive!

The next step to maximizing the law of attraction is to look at what you say. If you have a lot of ‘trash talk’ in your vocabulary, you need to change it right now. Do you say things like,

“It figures…”
“I always get the raw end of the deal…”
“Just my luck…”

You’d be amazed how many of these little ‘gems’ come up in our every day conversations. It’s hard to attract success when our words are so filled with despair and powerlessness. Our language is as powerful as our thoughts. Make sure you use them to move you forward, rather than hold you back.

Finally, the best way to accelerate the law of attraction in your own life is to surround yourself with like minded souls. An old saying says, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” If you surround yourself with people who have an upbeat attitude, who are successful and who focus on becoming the person they were truly meant to be, you’ll find the same sorts of things manifesting in your life.  

This is why mentoring is so effective – because it’s combining your talents with someone who has a positive outlook and the knowledge necessary to replicate that success. That kind of positive energy creates an environment that is extremely favorable for growth and success. When I started investing in real estate, it was having my mentor show me the ropes, and help me break through my fear, that led to my first deal worth $11,000. 

The law of attraction is one of the most important concepts to master. It’s extremely powerful, and the results that can be achieved with it are simply amazing. You were meant for greatness – now show the world you’re ready to receive it.
