The Most Common Mistake in Using the Law of Attraction

A common saying in LOA circles is "you gotta believe." Along with asking for what you want, through the use of gratitude and attraction boards, you also have to tap into your sub-conscious and allow yourself to really believe. You must truly know, in your soul, that whatever you want will come to you, as long as you do your part. This is all well and good in theory, but let's take a look at some of the pitfalls that one could fall into when trying to put this into practice.

In our example we will take a common item that many people hope to get through their practice of the law: more money! In this example well use the specific dollar amount of $1 Million dollars (nice round number). As explained in the workbook, you will place this dollar amount on your attraction board and repeat the series of steps necessary to sign, seal and deliver your request to the universe. But what do you do next? What are you thinking at the time? Here is a common wrong way to proceed:

Wrong:

Well, I just put out my intention for a million dollars. Hope it comes soon. Wow, thats a lot of money. Where will it come from?

If it isnt obvious, this will get you absolutely nowhere. This would be the equivalent of buying a winning lottery ticket and throwing it away. Lets take a look, sentence by sentence, of where we went wrong.

Hope it comes soon There is no such thing as hope when using the law of attraction. This puzzles many people as hope is often thought of as such as positive thing. What is overlooked, however, is the implicit doubt that goes along with merely hoping something happens. Saying you hope a million dollars comes into your life is acknowledging that there is a chance that it will not. Therefore, we must replace hope with a certainty such as know.

Wow, thats a lot of money. The universe does not relate to size. Therefore, one million dollars might as well be a penny, for all the universe is concerned. By saying that a million dollars is a lot of money is basically telling the universe I think a million dollars is more than I deserve, so I will completely understand when I dont get it. This is the equivalent of taking a check for a million dollars to the bank and thinking wow, thats a big check, Ill be OK with the bank only putting $100 into my account.

Where will it come from? Probably the most beautiful and magnificent part of the Law of Attraction is that it isnt up to you HOW things get done. All you need to do is ask and believe it will happen. If these things are done correctly, the universe will automatically set things in motion to bring you what you want. Asking how? is implying that the universe requires assistance in giving you what you want, which is obviously untrue. In future articles we will explore how to open yourself up to these things and explore ways to take notice of the steps the universe is taking to make your dreams a reality.

Finally, taking everything weve learned, here is the right way:

Well, I just put out my intention for a million dollars. I know that in an easy and relaxed manner, at the perfect time, I will have one million dollars. I realize that this amount is a drop in the bucket of the universe and I am fully deserving of that amount. I trust that the universe will create the path for me to making this dream a reality.

Once again, asking is key. However, if you dont also believe that what you ask for will really come to you it never will. Identify your internal thoughts and use the rules above to turn your negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Remember, if you dont believe youll keep getting a friendly reminder from the universe that skeptics needs not apply.

We are headquartered in Upstate NY and have devoted several years to the study and practice of the law of attraction. The tools we provide in our workbook curriculum are the very same tools we have used to create dramatic changes in our own health, wealth and relationships. Our soul intention is to share the tools that we have acquired in an affordable and fun way to bring the happiness that we enjoy every day to as many lives as possible.
