Thank you for your comment :)

You brought up some great points about the consistency of our actions. Indeed, we need to be consistent in our thoughts, words and actions, if we are to manifest our desires.

Thank you so much for the feedback! And I totally agree, observing our thoughts is a great way to stay in the present and conscious state, and allows us for best results when it comes to personal manifestations.

I’ve always found that observing my thoughts has been the best way to control my mind/ego from hindering my focus on what I want. The mind loses power in this process.

Evita – the idea of getting what we give our most attention to. This is powerful! It is, because it’s easy to give attention to the wrong things. And, where does that get us (me)? As I’m reading this – I’d be attracting exactly what I am giving the attention to (the wrong thing). I really think, overall – I do an okay job here – although it’s not because I’m actively thinking LOA. And, even to start – this sounds like something that would be easy to implement.

Is it what I want to hear Evita? YES! It is, because it makes much sense. Really, it’s what I need to hear right now, with many things (scary things – a good scary) going on – I really do need to focus my attention on that which I desire – and not on that which could go wrong…

Thank you, both of you – Evita and Julie! You are both a real source of light for me on this journey…

Wow Julie thank you (again) – I know what you mean about these thank you’s ;) I have to say between you and Lance adding to this article – this has and is growing into a great lesson and more valuable resource for all! THANK YOU!

I read your words and I want to run over there and help, but I know we are all creators of our own reality and one of the other major universal laws is free will – we can never impose our will on someone else. So as much as perhaps I did not wish you had an unpleasant week – there is indeed a great positive here – you got a great lesson out of it and GROWTH and if that is the purpose it served than as you say Julie it could not have been any better or more meaningful.

This actually brings us into another aspect of the LOA – the expansion and alignment part. Everyday and every moment we have opportunities for expansion, when we are in alignment wiht them (ie. vibrating at same frwquencies) things seem to go great and when we are not we need to re-align and it is how quickly we re-align that holds great power. For the quicker we re-align, the less pain, stress, anxiety, etc we go through. And you seem to be a natural here, you pointed out exactly what or where things did not work for you and decided to take action and thought!

With that kind of powerful thinking Julie, I have no doubt you can create and take on anything!

Thanks for adding the resources too, especially the book, I definitely have to add it to my “to read” list!

And so Julie yes that alone time for you is so needed and so priceless – so I wish for you strong intentions to to make it happen and benefit from its wonderful effect!

Thank you for adding great value with your personal example too.
If you go back and re-read what you wrote, you will right away see what your focus was “an unsuccessful meeting”. Indeed doubt is a powerful tool in making sure we get what we want. Notice I said get what we want.

In terms of the Law of Attraction, I have seen the movie The Secret and that is where it all started, then I read most of Jerry and Esther Hicks books that feature Abraham Hicks and that is where my understanding of how the universe and our lives work widened like you wouldn’t believe. All of a sudden everything clicked and I saw just how powerful creators we are of our own reality.
(I have yet to read the book Julie recommended, but I have heard of it and know that it is another valuable resource)

So if we may go back to your personal example, based on the LOA, we ALWAYS get that which we give most of our attention to (i.e. that which we focus on)Normally and logically humans should focus on what they want right? And then life would always be great and we would all be living blissful lives filled with everything we want. BUT we do not.

As human beings most of us focus the most on things we actually do not want. Well in terms of the LOA there is no such thing as a negative, whether you say “I want” or “I don’t” want you still get whatever you gave your attention to. This is where the real secret lies. Hence the goal is to be conscious of our thoughts, in order that we may only give attention and focus to that which we want and none of which we do not.

Is this hard or easy? Well that obviously depends on who you ask and how motivated the person is to change. Whatever the answer,what is always so is that for most it takes practice.

So Lance it may or may not be what you want to hear ;) but you demonstrated just what a powerful creator you really are. You focused on an unsatisfactory meeting and you got just that, in fact you had your thoughts, emotions and actions in it too, which makes it that much more powerful. That is why many people who say things like “I don’t buy this LOA stuff” or “I can’t be bothered to try it” do not realize that they are doing it already, every day of their lives – just not in the preferred direction.

Most important to note, is that there is nothing special to believe or do, when it comes to the LOA, it is just about becoming more conscious of one’s thoughts and giving more attention (if not all) to only things we like, please us, etc, and none that we do not. And ultimately this will only be as hard as WE DECIDE to make it :)

Thanks again for your input!

Sometimes, that’s very difficult. In my case, it’s certainly because I’ve added so many things to my day that my quiet, connecting alone time first thing in the morning has suffered. I said I’d get back to my yoga and meditation, but it’s been in fits and starts—and it wasn’t done at all when I most needed it last week. So, I am my own worst enemy, here. ;) I’ve no one to blame but myself; although my week was greatly uncomfortable, it was a good lesson if this reminder of right living (and new resolve, again) is the outcome.

Lance, the Law of Attraction is, I think, a coined phrase for a new way to explain what’s been explained before. The very clearest explanation I’ve run across is from James Allen, in a tiny book that is immense in the wisdom it holds: “As A Man Thinketh.” There’s not a wasted, flowery word. Every sentence can stand alone in its power. I’m forever grateful to the person who gave me a copy. Here’s some information about Mr. Allen (which I didn’t know until I searched just now). And Amazon.com has his book for $6. Sorry, the link is very long; I hope it pastes well.

Evita, I cannot tell you how much I value you. Your gentleness and love and wisdom surround me when I read your words (often moving me to calm tears of lovely emotion, as now—when I feel you loving self so strongly). Thank you is inadequate, but you know what I mean. I’ll renew my efforts for my own hour in the mornings. ;)
