The Law Of Attraction: Commitment To The Future

We are continuing with our series that highlights the Law of Attraction in use through Five Transformational Competencies for Leadership. Again, this is discussing how the things a leader thinks about and talks about creates, or manifests, the physical reality around them and how to use that force to fabricate an amazing future. We use this framework to provide some order to the process of leadership, allowing the leader to focus on the things that make the most difference with their time and efforts. These competencies, by themselves, can make a really big difference in the success of a leader. To get a huge difference, we also work at a deeper level of how we create our environment, our present, and our future. It is not only what we do every day, but how we think about it, plan it, and talk about. It is how we actually feel about the things that are going on in our life that determines what comes to us or does not.

The basis of this conversation is the Law of Attraction. Simply put, this law states that what we think about becomes our reality. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it is simple. All we have to do is become conscious of the reality we create through our thoughts and words. This is the deepest and most spiritually connected piece of work for the leader. Now, it is not enough to just know what it is that you are thinking about. A true leader, in first leading their own path, will take the brave step of taking absolute responsibility for their own thoughts and consequently their own circumstances. From there, that leader will begin to create a new future.

As well as knowing your thoughts as a leader, you must also know your feelings. In the largest sense we are really only concerned with two sets emotions here: love and trust, or fear and doubt. Understanding how you can create a different path depending on the emotional state you are in supercharges your ability to lead.

Today’s article talks about the second competency, Commitment to the Future. While we call this the action part of transformation, it literally refers to the conscious act of starting to live out your vision of the future. I once saw one of my teachers at an event celebrating the end of a long development process. He was in his late 70’s at the time, jitterbugging away
1000
at 2 am. I was inspired and thought to myself, I want to be dancing like that when I am that age. It later occurred to me, when would I start? If I’m not dancing now, what are the odds that I will be in 30 years? Commitment means starting to dance now, today, rather than later, someday.

So, take a few minutes, take some notes, and change your life – right now.

Commit to the Future (Action)

Beyond imagining the future and what is possible, our transformational leaders take their own action to immediately “step into” that picture and begin to live it as soon as they possibly can. These leaders do not stand by and point into the future, they move to the future and beckon others to join them.

This commitment amounts to the leader’s moving quickly away from the current state to more clearly resemble the picture of the future they espouse. They walk their talk and live the image they present. Moreover, they strongly and supportively coach others to do the same. They turn imagination to reality through aligning all parts of their lives with the future.

It is profoundly different to talk about “the then and there” of change, or to create the “here and now” of a change. The first puts the change into the future, where it can be contingent or conditional on some other events. The second makes changing a concrete reality, anchoring it in the present.

Here’s a simple example of how this works. In our story, our mythical leader, Joe, has taken the stance of moving the business from a technology focus to a customer focus. After working to get clear about the vision and beginning to communicate it, the leader turns immediately to the first place change needs to occur – himself. Joe sits down and makes an honest evaluation of how he is currently spending his time relative to the new vision. He immediately identifies all the things he can start doing immediately to begin living out the vision. Then, he identifies all the things he needs to stop doing immediately to disengage from the current state. Of course, he does this with integrity, identifying critical stakeholders and finding transition plans for things that must continue for some time. Most importantly, he immediately commits as much of his time as possible to the vision. From there, Joe now begins to engage employees and others in a dialogue about doing the same themselves. Joe now stands in the future and brings people along to join him.

The Law of Attraction started with the creation of the universe and the creation of thought.

The challenging question is, when did mankind first become aware of this law?

The answer to that is unknown, although there is some evidence to suggest that people knew about universal law at least 6000 or 7000 years ago.

Research on the history of the law of attraction provides us with many inspirational quotes, which gives us plenty of evidence that the laws were truly understood.

When studying the history of the Law of Attraction we see that Buddha said,

‘All that we are is the result of what we have thought.’

A powerful statement, not only do we create the material things in our lives by what we think, we also create ourselves.

Further evidence in the history of the Law of Attraction can be found in the King James version of the Bible. We see that Job may not have fully understood the workings of attraction, however like many people today he suffered the consequences of the law by not using it for his good.

In Job 3: 25, it reads,

‘For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.’

How many of us are creating what we do not desire in life? How many of us are setting ourselves up as victims because we do not understand or are not consciously using the law of attraction?

Without knowing when the phrase Attraction was first coined, it is difficult to document the first writings. Law of attraction awareness was certainly awakened in the last century or so, with many authors and scientists writing, perhaps controversially, at the turn of the last century.

Many of these books are now in the public domain and are available in eBook format from the Law-of-Attraction-Guide library.

James Allen is best known work As a Man Thinketh, which is one of the most powerful law of attraction books written.

The forward states,

‘to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that – they themselves are makers of themselves by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.’

As you can see the style of writing is rather dated and needs to be read carefully.

Wallace Wattles studied the various religious beliefs and philosophies of the world including those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Swedenborg, Emerson, and others.

He translated those studies into several books including The Science of Getting Rich. In this book he builds upon the following statement,

‘There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. I can form things in my thought, and by impressing my thoughts upon formless substance, can cause the thing I think about to be created.’

In the past 30 years, this book has been used as the basis to teach many people about the law of attraction, and was the inspiration for the movie, The Secret.

Charles Haanel was a noted American author and businessman who belonged to the American Scientific League, The Author’s League of America, The American Society of Psychical Research, the St. Louis Humane Society and the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce.

Haanel wrote several books that were published in St. Louis by Psychology Publishing and by his Master Key Institute in New York.

Mr. Haanel put into books the ideas and methods he used to gain his success. Besides the Master Key System, which he wrote in 1912, he also wrote Mental Chemistry and The New Psychology.

By 1933 The Master Key System had sold over 200,000 copies and then seemingly disappeared.

Studying the history of the law of attraction, The Master Key System has proved to be one of the finest studies in self-improvement and higher consciousness ever written. Covering everything from attracting abundance and prosperity, to greater health and happiness. This system teaches the principles and practise of the laws of cause and effect.

One of the most inspirational quotations written in the introduction of the book is,

‘Abundance, therefore, depends upon recognition of the laws of Abundance, and the fact that Mind is not only the creator, but the only creator of all there is.’

Again the writing style requires careful reading, but is well worth it.

The Master Key System was originally written as a 24 part correspondence course and therefore is far more practical as a step by step building process, with weekly law of attraction exercises and lessons.

Napolean Hill is considered to have influenced more people into success than any other person in history. He has been perhaps the most influential man in the area of personal success development.

Napoleon Hill achieved great success as an attorney and journalist. His early career as a reporter helped finance his way through law school. He was given an assignment to write a series of success stories of famous men, and his big break came when he was asked to interview steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie.

Mr. Carnegie commissioned Hill to interview over 500 millionaires to find a success formula that could be used by the average person. These included Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, Charles M. Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, William Wrigley Jr, John Wanamaker, WIlliam Jennings Bryan, George Eastman, Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller, F. W. Woolworth, Jennings Randolph, among others. He became an advisor to Andrew Carnegie, and with Carnegie’s help he formulated a philosophy of success, drawing on the thoughts and experience of a multitude of rags-to-riches tycoons.

It took Hill over 20 years to produce his book, a classic in the Personal Development field called Think and Grow Rich. This book has sold over 7 million copies and has helped thousands achieve success. The secret to success is very simple but you’ll have to read the book to find out what it is!

The first copy of Think and Grow rich was sold in 1937. Eleven years later, in February 1948, Coronet magazine polled 300 successful young men and women, asking, ‘What books had most influenced their lives and contributed to their success?’ Think and Grow Rich was ranked fourth. Some 38 years later USA Today published a list of the top 10 selling paperbacks about investments, Think and Grow Rich ranked No.1. Incredibly in 2002, some 65 years after it was published, Think and Grow Rich was tenth in the Business Week bestsellers.

Napoleon Hills work stands as a monument to individual achievement and is the cornerstone of modern motivation. His book, Think and Grow Rich, is the all time best seller in the field.

Florence Scovel is one of the first metaphysics teachers of this past century. In her book The Game of Life and How to Play It, she states;

‘Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness.’

Jesus Christ taught that it was a great game of Giving and Receiving. ‘Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap’

This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive. If he gives hate, he will receive hate; if he gives love, he will receive love; if he gives criticism, he will receive criticism; if he lies he will be lied to; if he cheats he will be cheated.

Florence is also quoted as saying –

‘Infinite spirit opens the way for my great abundance. I am an irresistible magnet for all that belongs to me by divine right. My supply is endless, inexhaustible and immediate and comes to me under grace in perfect ways.’

It is my belief, that at our very core, people want to have a peaceful and harmonious world. I also believe that as people become aware of the Law of Attraction, they will realize that they can influence the world by their belief and will be an agent for positive change for the future. It is important that more and more people become aware of and use the law of attraction daily to create tremendous lives for themselves and others.

John Peace

Like so many I originally found it difficult to master the Law of Attraction, thinking that just being aware of the Law would bring me everything I desired.

Many books, films and interviews later, I started to understand and apply this Law and using Cause and Effect principles I started to live the life I had always aspired to.

I have written a number of books teaching people how to Apply these principles to their lives in just the way I have and also run an Online Training Program called ‘Unlock The Power of You’.

Today, along with my, partner, I run a number of successful online businesses and provide support to ordinary people to help them, use the internet to make money.

Money,  It’s one of the most common desires that people have when they are first learning about the law of attraction.  When you are able to manifest the financial situation that you want,  you are able to experience more of the lifestyle that suits you.  So,  it’s for good reason that the desire to learn how to attract more money is so strong.

With that being said,  there are some things that you will need to do in order to get started on your goal to use the law of attraction to better your financial situation.  What are those things and how can you become a magnet to the green stuff?

1. Become comfortable with the subject.  A lot of people tend to shy away from the subject of their finances and would rather discuss practically anything else.  But,  people that are able to manifest the money that they want, are much more comfortable talking about it.  So,  you should learn to become comfortable doing this as well.

2. Study how people achieve financial success.  They do not sit around and hope or wish for a check to just appear.  There are specific things that they do in order for it to manifest.  You should make note of what these things are and begin to do these things yourself.

3. Give yourself a clear intention.  Know exactly what amount that you would like to attract.  Get as specific as possible and do not waiver in what you want.  The more clarity that you have in regards to your goal,  the more likely it is that you will make it there much sooner.

These three tips are just the start to put you on track to manifest more money with the law of attraction.

The Law Of Attraction: Attitude Is Everything

Most of our internal programming is the result of how we were raised. We inherit many of the values of our parents, not from the bloodline, but from their examples as our primary role models for life.

If you were raised to believe that “money is the root of all evil,” and that the only way rich people get rich is to step on the little guy, and that money does not buy happiness—then you have been programmed to believe that money represents greed and leads to misery. On the other hand, if you were raised to believe that the more money you earn, the more opportunities you have to help others, or that the money you receive is a direct result of your level of contribution to the marketplace and the community, then you will have a very different association with money. As Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot help the poor by becoming one of them.”

A key attitude that has served me well is that of positive resiliency. You learn to look for the good in life and in people, and you develop the belief that if you are a good person and do what needs to be done good things will come your way. This is a very powerful and effective attitude of life.

By looking for the good, you see more good. Seems simple, but how many people do you know of who seem to revel in pointing out what is wrong with everyone else in the world? How hard is that? Just regurgitate the news to your friends and you will automatically recount the days’ most negative events.

As a quick aside, the story about the poor family who died in the crash today on the news is not news it’s exploitation. Death is part of life and people die everyday. The cause of death ranges from natural to horrific, but that is the nature of life and is not news. I have not read a newspaper in years and I seldom watch the news on TV. By keeping the awful events that happen each day out of my mind, my thinking is clearer and my optimism higher. Some people say that I have my head in the sand. I say they area sticking their head in the s***.

Part of this process is to not just analyze your patterns of thoughts and beliefs, but also your environment. The Law of Attraction, as I believe it to be says that you will attract people int
1000
o your life who are like you in many ways. They have the same interests, but more so they have the same beliefs and outlook on life. Positive people don’t hang around negative people. Why would they?

As you start to pursue success and overcome the self-doubts and negative programming that has mired you for so long, you may find, over time, that you have less in common with your friends. While you pursue success with a sense of growing excitement, your friends may simply be treading water in their life. I do not mean to sound cold, but the gap in your attitudes and approaches to life may continue to widen between you and your friends over time. While you’re working on a project to improve your life, they are watching the news to find people in worse situations than themselves.

They may tell you that your success mentality is unrealistic. The truth is, they may resent the courage you are showing in going for it.

I am not saying that you should dump your friends in favor of more successful ones. Good friends are way too rare to take for granted like that. I am saying that your relationships will be tested. If you are serious about success, then your days of going out with the boys or watching mindless television are over. You will have to ask yourself constantly, “What is the best use of my time right now?” Rarely will the answer include pointless socializing or watching American Idol on TV.

Success is the result of an accumulation of thousands of small decisions over an extended period of time. I say “small decisions” because they are more powerful than the large ones. You can usually change a big decision and change it if it was a bad one. You cannot change the effects of the thousand decisions you will make every week. They add up in a big way. Each decision takes you either closer to your goal or it slows down the process.

So this title caught your attention? That means you want to learn more about creating wealth. The good news is, is creating wealth is something anyone and everyone can do. Read this article; know that there is a science, a system to getting rich and creating wealth. By applying the law of attraction and other universal laws, you will get rich. Learn the science of getting rich, study it, practice it and then start to attract the riches that you so strongly desire. Hold on to your vision, your dreams and hold steadfast to your goals, and remember, often times, it is not the destination that makes us happy, it is the journey!

Law of Attraction

Understanding the Law of Attraction is most critical to your success and in obtaining prosperity and wealth. Simply put the Law of Attraction states that “I attract into my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to, whether unwanted or wanted or conscious or unconscious.” This means that you can have anything you choose, no matter how big it is. This means if we learn how to apply the law of attraction, we can learn how to achieve success, prosperity and wealth. We can receive greater levels of income, than we ever dreamed.

The Law of Attraction works because we all have one infinite Power; a God, Higher Power or Universe, and that we all guide ourselves by laws; natural laws of the universe, such as the law of gravity, cause and effect, polarity, action and reaction, and the law of attraction. The law of attraction can best be described as a magnetic force, that like thoughts attract like experiences. That these laws of nature are so precise, that when man thinks about things, he or she can accomplish miracles. The law of attraction says that everything in your life is attracted to you by your thoughts. The Universe takes these thoughts as instructions, and manifests what you think about and focus on, into your life’s experience. What kind of instructions have you given the universe so far?

Think about this for a moment, if you think and focus about how poor and financially strained you are, you will become poorer and more in debt. The more you think and focus on your current situation, wanted or unwanted, the more tolerable or intolerable your situation will become. If you worry and are angry about your lack of money, wealth or prosperity, you are practically guaranteeing yourself an experience of lack of wealth, money and prosperity. If you are constantly jealous and bitter towards others, as they have wealth and you do not, you are going to attract more jealousy and bitterness into your experience. What you resist persists and what you fear perseveres.

Our Thoughts have Frequencies

Our thoughts have frequencies, so when you think about or imagine what you want, such as great wealth, success and prosperity, your thoughts go out to the universe or Higher Power and the universe or Higher Power brings it to you. So if you see yourself living the life of the rich, in a fabulous house, with an expensive car, glamorous clothing and fine arts, you will attract this into your experience. So whether you are thinking about your past experiences, your present situation or your future, and whether you are remembering, observing or imagining, the universe or Higher Power is listening and responding by bringing that thought and those things right back to you. I recommend you start to think rich!

Attracting Thoughts and Things by Using your Mind

Your mind is a sender and receiver of information far beyond the five senses. You can attract thoughts and things into your life, just by using your mind. Think about driving on some remote country road. You try scanning your radio to find a new radio station for some good traveling music. Until you tune into a station, you will not hear the music. But that does not mean that it is not already out there, nor that other people are not already listening to it. The same principle applies to whatever you are attracting into your life. What you are experiencing is dependent upon what frequencies your thoughts are emitting their information on. When you send it out thoughts or information, a message to the Universe or Higher Power, by the power and vibrations of your mind and of your thoughts, you will attract it back to you, into your experience. It is quite a complex theory the first time you hear and consider it. But as you think about it and look around into your world, you will see that indeed this is true. It is a universal law.

Chronic Ways of Thought

If one has a prolonged negative chronic way of thinking about their lack of wealth and prosperity, their debt, according to the law of attraction, these thoughts will manifest into existence. Their experience will be that of more debt and lack of money. If one is thinking of how great their financial success and wealth is, they will have more wealth. If one can accept and practice this concept, one can transform their life.

The key concept to take away is that we are all the architects of our life, good or bad. All of our problems are created by us and us alone, not by your parents, partner, boss, friends, accident, upbringing or family. All of our successes were created by us and us alone, not by luck or chance. We have created them, each and every one. This may be really difficult to accept if this is the first time you are hearing this concept. But once you do, your life can transform into a whole new world, with unlimited possibilities and success, good fortune and prosperity. So change those thoughts about lack of money into thoughts of an abundance of money. Learn the techniques of visualization, goal setting, using a systematic approach to creating wealth and you will have it, the law of attraction is as predictable as the sun setting and rising. Seek information to master these skills, visit www.acquiredhope.com and www.inspirednhopeful.theSGRprogram.com for free information and programs to help you succeed, quickly!

We have the power to attract more good things, more good fortune into our experience. One just needs to learn how to apply the laws of attraction and remain focused on what he or she really wants. Consistent thought and affirmations will shift your mind and your energy and allow greater wealth to come into your experience. Most times, this is a learned skill, it requires study, practice and dedication to aspire and experience more. But anyone can learn it and master it. Start today, create your new visions and images of great fortunes and abundance in wealth, learn a system of creating wealth, learn by the masters, the teachers of The Secret: www.inspirednhopeful.theSGRprogram.com wealth generation is a predictable thing; learn the science to getting rich and by law you will receive it.
