Collective Inspiration

If you are reading this then you have probably heard of the Law of Attraction.  You’ve probably read the book, watched the movie, or at least heard of The Secret.

What I find fascinating is that three years after the movie launched, there are still so many people who AREN’T getting the results they want!

But according to the movie it’s so simple!  Focus on what you want with positive emotion, and it will eventually manifest.

They outline methods like visualization, meditation, and gratitude, which all lead to the acheivement of your desires.

Sounds great!

BUT, most of the people that I know haven’t had life changing events happen.  Their lives seem pretty much as they were a few years back - or in some cases, worse…

Here’s something I wish they told me when I first watched the movie.  That the ability to create your reality through focusing your thoughts and emotions takes practice.  That your mind muscle is exactly that, a muscle, and it needs to be worked out!

At first you can focus all you want on the things you want - but in the begining your mind is not strong enough to bring you the results in your timeframe.  What happens next is natural, people stop.

They stop with the visualizations, the affirmations, the gratitude journal, because they see no results.

Imagine going to the gym for a two months and seeing NO results, would you continue?

The trick to mastery of the Law of Attraction is (unfortunately) exercise.  The challenge is that we want results NOW and don’t want to put in all the work, at least I didn’t :)

I can tell you from experience that the more you focus your thoughts on what you want, the faster things happen in your favor.  In the beginning it can take months before something comes to fruition…

Now that I am consistent with my affirmations, visualization, and gratitude…the things that I want show up in days!

It’s the coolest thing to have the Universe give you what you have been asking for - but it takes some exercising!

I always say to start small, that builds the belief muscle, then over time (months) you’ll be so convinced that EVERYTHING is happening in your experience because YOU attract it, you’ll only focus on what you want.

Everything you want in life will then come, this I know for sure…

So start today with a simple affirmation and repeat it for the next few weeks, test the theory and prove to yourself that you indeed have the power…try this one, or something like it:

I attract a free cup of coffee.

and once you get it, be grateful ;)

Have you ever had an experience that you called a coincidence?  That you felt two random events happened simultaneously and that it was a coincidence…

Lately I’ve been having a lot of fun hyphenating words - let me explain.  Take the word coincidence and hyphenate it to spell co-incidents.  Now it takes on a different meaning.  Co-incidents are two incidents that happen together.

Where we add the mystery to ‘conincidence’ is that we did not expect or predict that it would happen.  Now I’m not sure about you but I rarely predict the future (at least accurately).

In fact, I believe that we live in a world of cause and effect, that every occurrence that happens in our lives, has a beginning and that it’s not random.  So words like chance, luck, coincidence, are words that describe how we don’t understand the way things happen.  Looking back at history we’ve traditionally been wrong so many times before why is now any different.

The cool thing is that you can begin to experiment with the cool law of cause and effect, I’ll tell you how.  Every effect that you experience is a result of something you have or hold in your mind (sounds a little crazy I know) but for the sake of experiment, bear with me.  Now in order to see that effects (your experiences) happen based on causes (your thoughts and feelings) try the following out.

Take something that you enjoy like ice cream for example and imagine getting one for free.  I see myself enjoying a wonderful cookies and cream scoop drizzled in caramel…mmmm my favorite. In the background I also see the words “free ice cream”  So now I have these two thoughts together and MOST importantly I feel the experience as if it’s happening.  Puts a smile on my face as I write this!!

Do it a few times and you’ll start to see ice cream more frequently.  Do it a few more times and someone will suggest going for an ice cream sometime.  Do it just a few more times and you’ll find yourself in the middle of an ice cream parlor with your favorite treat for free - guaranteed.

Sound like a lot of work?

Well, the purpose is to get you to see that there is a law of cause and effect and that you are the cause for all of your effects!  Once this sinks in you can begin to focus on things more important than ice cream…like chocolate!

Seriously though, when it becomes clear that you can shape your experiences with a little focus of thought and feeling, then co-incidents become co-creations, and that is really cool!
