The Law of Attraction and Other Secrets

It is easier to think positive thoughts than negative thoughts, because the mind naturally moves forward toward productive ends. Therefore, when you create positive thoughts you are harmonizing with your mind. You have more energy. Negative thinking fights with the natural motion of your mind, and it causes fatigue. When you decide what you want and create the how to attitude, that is, when you think in terms of how to create your desire, you will be flooded with energy and inspiration!
For example, a child who is eagerly anticipating Christmas will stay up late and still jump out of bed early in the morning, animated with excitement. Even though the child may have only slept a few hours, his or her passionate desire fuels the body with limitless energy. Adults experience this, too. When a person has something positive to expect, his mind and body prepare for the best with zest and vigor. On the other hand, an adult who hates his job may go to bed early but find himself exhausted in the morning when he needs to arise. Although he has had plenty of sleep, dread and lack of enthusiasm leave him fatigued.
If you have been a negative thinker for a long time, it will require practice to learn to think in positive ways. A little bit of practice will reap tremendous results. A good way to create a positive attitude is to listen to the words you say. Listen particularly for the word "if." Do you say, "If I get this job I will be happy"? Or do you say, "When I get this job I will be happy"? Do you say, "I wonder if I will find the right dress for the wedding"? Or do you say, "I wonder where I will find my perfect dress"?
In small or large creations, the power of you expectation is crucial. Change the "if" to "when." Ask, when? where? how? what? to define what you want. This will create an attitude of positive expectation, one which indicates that you are the commander and ruler of your thoughts and your life.
Listen also for words like "can't," "I don't know," "maybe" "I'll see." These words indicate doubt and indecision, Every thought you think is like a seed that you plant in the fertile soil of your own mind. When you plant seed-thoughts of doubt and indecision, you reap like manifestations. Plant seed thoughts of security, authority, and definition! Say, and think, "I will," "I know," or "I will find out," or "I will commit myself to it." "I'll plan on it."
I know a woman who is afraid to commit herself to anything that she has not previously experienced, because she doubts the power of her imagination. Recently, this woman Lisa was talking about her desire to be married. Lisa's previous marriage ended in a divorce which left her somewhat cynical about relationships with men. Lisa is still afraid that if she marries she will find herself trapped in a unpleasant liaison, so she avoids relationships. I asked Lisa what kind of marriage she wants, and her response was, "Oh, there;'s no such thing as a good marriage. Men are all alike." Lisa's negative expectation keeps her from experiencing anything different!
Joyce, on the other hand, has also been divorced and wants to be married. When Joyce's marriage ended, she examined what was unsatisfying in the relationship. Then she started asking herself, "What if I had gone after the job I wanted rather than thinking it would interfere with being a mother? What if I had been more affectionate?" "What if I had voiced my desires instead of denying their importance?"
With each question, Joyce imagined herself being different. She began to perceive how she could experience marriage in a more productive way, When Joyce met a man who seemed like a potential husband, she was scared that the relationship might turn sour. She practiced the what if's that she had imaged and because she was different, she started to see that this relationship could be better than her failed marriage.
Then Joyce found a ring that she decided to wear on the ring finger of her left hand. She imagined what it would be like if she were married to Joe, her new beau. When problems arose in their association, instead of dropping the relationship she asked herself, " What if we were married, how would we handle this?"Over time, Joyce discovered that she could commit herself to change and to causing the kind of union she desired. Wearing the ring was a physical prop that helped her to imagine being happily married. When she and Joe finally decided to tie the know, they were on their way to a fulfilling marriage, for which they had prepared using creative imagery.
