Effectively Unleashing the Law of Attraction

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
Richard M. DeVos

The Law of Attraction, as presented in The Secret, is a universal law that maintains that like attracts like. In other words, what we put our energy and focus on, we get—regardless if it is wanted or unwanted. Many are trying each day to discover success by using the Law of Attraction but it still alludes them. So what is the deal? Is the Law of Attraction a farce? I believe the Law of Attraction or at least the basic idea of it is real—when we focus on a goal, we can achieve it. However, reaping the benefits of the Law of Attraction is not as simple as thinking and hoping good things will happen. This is only part of it. In order to truly achieve success, our whole person must be completely aligned. When it is, the Law of Attraction works!

Our whole person, as explained by Stephen R. Covey, includes our mind, heart, spirit, and body. Each of these parts must be aligned in order for us to achieve our goals and reach success.

So first, our mind meaning our thoughts. As explained in The Secret, in order for the Law of Attraction to work and in order for us to be successful, our thoughts must be positive. We must truly believe we can achieve our goals. Being able to master our thoughts and visualizing what success will look like and feel like, will help us achieve them. Indeed, belief is at the heart of all success. If we do not believe, we will not succeed.

Next, our heart and spirit, meaning our feelings. We must feel it to be successful, meaning we must have a burning desire to achieve our goal. Within us there must be a strong passion and conviction for what we want or are trying to accomplish. This feeling must be real and sincere. If our heart or our feelings are not all the way in it, we will never achieve the level of success we hope to. Our feelings must point strongly toward whatever it is we want.

Lastly, our body, or our actions. We must actively pursue whatever it is that we want. Many forget this important piece of the puzzle thinking that meditating, thinking, and feeling will attract the success they are hoping for. Surely this helps, but sitting on the couch all day hoping for a million bucks will never produce results if we never actually get off the couch and do something. Thus, everything we do, just like everything we think and feel should be pointed toward achieving our goal. Our body or actions must be aligned with our thoughts and feelings in order for the Law of Attraction to work.

Once we learn to align our whole person, our mind, body, heart and spirit, I have no doubt we can accomplish anything we desire. Only in this manner does our whole person attract what we want leading to success. Thus, the Law of Attraction works once we realize it requires our thoughts, feelings, and actions. I truly believe that when our “whole person” is truly united, we can achieve anything!
