Do you remember that first spark of joy, that feeling of truth when you watched The Secret? I felt confirmation in my heart, knowing that I can make my dreams come true – WITHOUT STRUGGLE!
Did you feel that hope dwindle into frustration? How many of you (be honest now) started thinking things like:
- “It works for other people, but I just can’t get it.”
- “Sometimes it works, but sometimes I can’t make it happen. What’s the secret of the Secret?”
- “Why am I having trouble?”
- “Maybe the universe is against me.”
- “I’m trying hard but nothing is happening”
Well, you’re not alone. Around 97% of people can’t make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time.
Think about it,like anything else, you have to practice before you see success. We don’t learn to walk without falling a few of times, right?
But in practice, everything is easier said and done. When you’re frustrated, it can be hard to stay positive. And it’s harder to stay positive when you watch the nightly news!
And do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That’s right – you start to focus on and attract unwanted or negative experiences into your life.
So how can you make the Law of Attraction work for you – without getting frustrated? How do other people successfully use the Law of Attraction with such confidence and fines
Well, here are three quick tips to help you start manifesting like a pro.
1. Don’t just Transmit, Receive!
If the only thing your mind is doing is asking, asking, asking, transmitting, transmitting, transmitting, the universe — which is trying to respond — can’t give you a single thing because you’re not allowing yourself to receive!
So, stop exhausting yourself. Trust in the pace of the universe and slow down enough to receive often! You won’t see all of the gifts coming to you if you’re exhausting yourself by repeating the same requests over and over.
Just think of your desire and leave it there, go away, and trust that your cup will be filled with gold coins (or whatever it is you asked for) when the time is right
2. Be Patient With Yourself
Receiving takes time.
Sadly, many people give up just a couple of steps before the finish line because they’ve decided that if it’s not working by now, it’s never going to work at all. Worse still are those who throw in more and more energy because they think that with more resources, the results will come faster.
This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in 1 month. You also can’t bake cookies in half the time by doubling the temperature. You’ll incinerate those cookies to ashes!
In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you throw at it.
So relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe, and you cannot change the natural development time.
If you remember this, you will less likely work yourself up into frustration, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral of negativity.
3. Support and Educate Yourself
Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You also need to guidance on how to do it, and also the role models to look up to.
Many people give up because they think that “The Secret” is the “be all and end all” solution. Well, it’s NOT. “The Secret” is just a small portion. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.
Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work when all you ever did to educate yourself was watch “The Secret” 19 times (without looking at changing the habits of other areas of your life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all you did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day (but you’re still stuffing yourself with fried foods and cheesecakes).
So seek and be hungry for new knowledge. Also, make an effort to be amongst people or communities where you can support each other, learn from each other and also share new knowledge that you have found.
While the Law of Attraction is not an overnight delivery service, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part too!
