There are many who claim that the law of attraction sets people up to fail by encouraging them in thoughts and actions that are unrealistic. I would agree with this, but only to an extent. There are many who only teach the happy go lucky side of the law of attraction and act as though there are no down sides and nothing much too learn. When I was first introduced to the law of attraction the words I was reading resonated with me but I also felt that I needed to learn more in order for me to implement it successfully into my life.

Unfortunately this is not the case for many. They are led to believe that all they must do to manifest their desires is think positively. If you have never had a negative thought, then this will work perfectly for you. However I have yet to meet a person who has no negative thoughts, therefore expecting to experience dramatic results by merely thinking positive thoughts is not only unrealistic but it is also damaging to those of us who know better and go out of our way to make sure those we come in contact with are taught the law of attraction in a realistic manor.

If you are one of those unfortunate souls who have read The Secret and thought that was all you need to know, then I would like to give you a brief introduction to using the law of attraction in a way that will put you on the right track to manifesting everything that you want in life.

The law of attraction is a tool that can be used like any other, but in order to use it you must first learn how. The first thing to do is find out what it is that you really want, and I don’t mean a new car, more money or an expensive house, I mean what do want to feel on a daily basis? The best way to find out what you really want is to take a good long look at your life the way it is right now. What do you dislike the most about your life? How does it make you feel? When you know the answer to these questions you can then figure out what it is that you really want.

You may say that it is more money, Ok how will you feel when you have more money, peaceful, joyous, safe? These are the things that you really want. The next thing to do is ask for what you want, get a piece of paper and write down clearly and specifically what it is that you really want. Make this statement as detailed as you can, put feeling and emotion into it, write it so that when you have finished and you read it over again you immediately feel the pleasure and joy of what it will be like when you have received what you are asking for.

The last step is by far the most challenging; you must align your vibration with that of your desire. In other words you must allow your desire to come to you. On the surface this may sound like a simple thing, but it is not. One of the common things that prevent people from attracting what they want is, after they have asked, they then spend all of their time looking for their desire or engaged in action that they believe will help to bring their desire to them faster.

It is not your job to figure out how your desire is going to come to you, it is your job to relax and be happy in the knowledge that what you want is on its way.

The best way to do this is to spend your time focusing on two things. (1) What you will do and how you will feel when you receive what you have asked for. (2) Taking part in as many activities as you can that make you feel good. If you can master these two tasks you will soon attract into your life everything thing that you have ever wanted.
