That Doesn’t Work For Me

I am a firm believer that life is full of energy – and the more you focus on energy – the better your life will be. It’s all about the right vibes man. Some call it law of attraction – or vibrational energy – or manifestation, or anything in between. I call it life. But not everyone gets it.

There are 3 types of people that come out of the forest when I start talking law of attraction, energy vibrations, and manifest.

  1. Those who believe it and practice it to some degree
  2. Those who do NOT believe it
  3. Those who tried it, and decided it doesn’t work for me.

Now – number 1 is obviously my favorite. Those who know there is a higher power working for us, and all we need to do is tap into it and our lives become as magical as we can dream.

Number 2 there is much to do. Believing in the law of attraction is a belief system, where it is engrained to your core. Sadly – not believing is a belief system as well. It makes it hard for people to switch, unless they have compelling proof to do it.

Number 3 is a fun group – people who have tried and said that this doesn’t work for them. They asked for a million dollars and are still broke. They asked for the new car, and still are driving the beater. They asked for the vacation, but still can’t afford to go to starbucks.

This group is fun, because you can evoke the most change into them. They believe, to some extent, that this works. Yet they claim they have tried it, and it didn’t work for me, so they stopped.

My arguments back to them usually are the following:

  • You stopped doing it because it didn’t work the first time. Did you stop riding a bike after the first time you fell? Did you stop reading after the first time you couldn’t understand a word? Did you stop playing baseball the first time you struck out? Probably not – so why is this any different? With anything in the world – you have to practice – be in a continued state of practice. If you believe it works – and I know you do to some point because you tried it – why wouldn’t you keep trying? If you believe that there is a force and a universal law that says whatever you desire, so shall you have, wouldn’t you spend night and day trying to master it?
  • You didn’t get what you asked for from the universe, or you didn’t get it yet? You are not in control of the timing or HOW the thing that you desire will manifest itself into your life. All our job is to ask – and wait for it to manifest. It could be hours. Days. Weeks. Years. Question becomes how much desire do you have behind the item you are manifesting, and how long are you willing to wait? If you know – with a true conviction – that this is true. You WILL get that million dollars. You WILL get that new car. You WILL get that vacation – if all you can do is plant that seed, have the faith that it is already coming to you, and watch it manifest into your life. If you asked for a million dollars, and didn’t see it the next morning and thought “what a bunch of hocus pocus”, you were never in the mindset to attract 1,000,000 and therefore, it would have never got to you anyways. Change that thinking to an unwavering belief that whatever you so desire shall show up in your life – on it’s own time and in it’s own way – and watch the magic happen.
  • You tried it and it didn’t work – or YOU didn’t work. Thanks most impart to The Secret, some think that law of attraction / manifesting anything is as simple as putting something in your mind – and watching it appear in your life. The Secret actually uses the example of someone sitting in a chair, dreaming and imagining that he is driving a brand new car – and one appears in his driveway. While that could work (again – not our duty to figure when or how), most of the time it takes work to get what you need to do. But the universe again will show you the right way to work. You will get inspired in specific ways. You will understand something that you didn’t understand before. You will take inspired action after noticing the little synchronicity that will show up in your life. And you have to take the action on them. You will miss the opportunity if you are not looking for the opportunity. Asking for a million dollars? Be prepared to work for a million dollars.
  • You stopped because you asked for money coming from a place of lack. Or a car coming from a place of lack. Or a vacation coming from a place of lack. That is the easiest way to halt the mindset of attraction. If you have a bill due, or you don’t have enough money, and you say “Universe – I need money – tomorrow” that is a coming from a place of lack – noticing the debt you have to pay off – and chances are you will get more of that debt and that lack mindset. Remember – it is not our place to understand where the money is coming from, or when, or how. It is our place to put ourselves in a state of abundance, and create more abundance in our life.

No matter where you are on the scale of belief in life energy – I hope this post helped you out a bit to see that there is always a way to get exactly what you want in your life – just ask – and you shall receive.
