How To Get What You Want – The Law of Attraction

George Bernhard Shaw once said : “Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” Did you know that? We create all the time, in fact – but most of it is unconscious : we literally don’t know what we are doing.

The irony is that most of us think we do know how to create what we want : we set goals, work hard towards them and sometimes achieve them. Not always, but sometimes. We think we can get what we want if we are lucky, born with certain talents or have a lot of money.

What we believe is that our circumstances dictate our actions and feelings, whilst in reality we create our circumstances with our thoughts. Your environment is a mirror image of yourself, says the Universal Law of Correspondences – I also wrote a chapter about it in my essay “The REAL Facts of Life”.

This principle of correspondences is also called the Law of Attraction these days, and there is a lot of discussion about it on the Internet at the moment.

The Law of Attraction is probably the single most important principle for every human being to understand in this day and age. The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest – in Steve Pavlina’s words.

I have introduced Steve Pavlina to you in June this year and the best I can do to bring the Law of Attraction closer to you is direct you to some of his articles on his Blog – they have substance and are brilliantly written.

The first one you should read is The Law of Attraction which answers some tough questions around how this principle works, and when.

Very closely related to this topic is his article Creative Observation if you want to know why the manifestation of intentions sometimes does not seem to work at first.

Excellent background information on manifesting can be found in How Intentions Manifest.

And then there is his article Cause-Effect versus Intention-Manifestation - essential reading because you need to know what the first crucial step is for creating what you want that most people forget, and because you have to recognise how you sabotage yourself once you are working your way towards the achievement of your goals.

There is of course much more to learn about the way life works, but the Law of Attraction is the core without which all the rest doesn’t make much sense.

When you have read Steve Pavlina’s articles above, and some more you’ll find in the process, go to a good bookstore over the weekend and get “Ask and It Is Given” – ‘Learning To Manifest Your Desires’ by Esther Hicks, the book on which the film ‘The Secret’ is based – Steve reviews the film here.

Yes, all this is quite an eyefull of reading, but I assume that subscribers to COMPASS are serious about improving themselves and their lives. I am absolutely convinced that once you understand the material offered in this single eMail alone and start practicing the principles suggested, you can fundamentally turn your life around, if that is your intention.

Have a nice weekend! All the best from : Berend
