THE LAW OF ATTRACTION ALLIGNING YOURSELF WITH SUCCESS
We are what we think...
All that we are,
arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make our world.
The Law of Attraction has been around for a long time. In fact, the proponents of it claim that it is ancient. It is a huge body of knowledge, made popular by the movie ‘The Secret’ that was released in 2006. That quote was made by the Buddha around 500 BC.
- Law of Attraction states that like attracts like.
- Successful people attract successful people.
- People with money attract money and people with money.
Great opportunities find people who are open to receiving and recognizing them.
One of the first things I learned when I got started in MLM was to become the distributor I wanted to attract. This was my first lesson in the Law of Attraction.
There are two components from the law of attraction that help us become better aligned with our success in building our MLM business. These will be the focus of this talk.
- The first segment is: The story you tell.
- The second segment is: The thoughts you think.
Let’s explore the first, the story you tell.
Have you ever found yourself beating the drum of what you do not want, only to discover that you get more of what you do not want? Do you hear yourself chanting over and over the problems in your business, with your downline, the lack of leadership, and the insufficiency of your commission checks? In this case, someone who continually tells the story of what he does not want is unwittingly attracting more of that to himself. Think of it like deepening the groove in a record.
A long time ago I was part of a spiritual community. We chanted for hours a day. You probably know what a mantra is. The repetitions of this sound, or of these words, imbed the vibrations they contain deeper and deeper into our consciousness. This makes them more real. Imagine starting your day, faithfully chanting the familiar refrain about not having any good prospects. Wouldn’t that make it harder to find and attract good prospects that day?
To align yourself with your success, start telling a different story. There is an enormous array of data in your experience. What you focus on will have an impact on the reality that you create. Does it serve you to tell everyone about all of the distractions in your life? To beat the drum of not having enough time? To affirm that you don’t have enough money? Do you think it might be hard for money to land on you if you keep saying that you don’t have any? Can you see how money will be more attracted to you when you are grateful for all that you have, knowing that you allow even more? I used to whine to my friends about not having enough money. I had proof that there was not enough! It felt crummy. When I learned how to focus on abundance, suddenly there was a lot more of it.
And boy does that feel great. I changed my story; I changed my point of attraction, and my universe rearranged itself. You are better aligned with your success when you focus on the evidence of having what you want. Tell that story. There will always be distractions. But focus on a time when you experienced true abundance, even if it was just for a moment. There are always unexpected gifts. Tell the story of what a grateful recipient you are from an infinitely abundant universe. What you focus on becomes greater in your experience.
As you focus on a different story, as you lean into the reality that you are in the process of creating, that reality is now attracted to you. This helps you find more joy and more ease in allowing your desires to become real.
No more demanding of the universe the life that you do not want by repeating the details of it incessantly. Get clear on what you do want. Gently demand of the universe to deliver that experience to you by aligning yourself through this new story that you are telling.
Brian Tracy calls this the Law of Expectation. The universe is always listening. This is why we are encouraged over and over again to get clear on our WHY. This business is about where we are going, what we are allowing and creating to improve our lives and the lives of others. Writing about and talking about this life that you desire and deserve makes it more real to you. You are aligned with your success and the universe responds accordingly. It is a law. Look ahead.
Step into that future reality in present time. The Holy Book puts it this way ‘the just shall live by faith’. Positive thinking in action! Be conscious that the story you tell matches your desires, rather than what you do not want.
T he second segment has to do with our thoughts.
Thoughts are things. They contain a vibration that determines the reality you experience. If you think that you are a failure in the relationship department, the universe will supply you with ample evidence to support this belief. Do you believe you are worthy of building a large, sustained, profitable, stable MLM organization? Are you 100% aligned with knowing that you can create your own economy? Sustained focus on these thoughts plus massive actions will bring results.
We each have some thoughts that we have thought hundreds, perhaps thousands of times. They are incredibly familiar and sometimes we think them unconsciously. These core thoughts reflect core beliefs. A belief is a thought that is repeated enough times until we perceive it as the truth. Each of these thoughts contains a vibration, which is attached to an emotion. We really are what we think. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he!
Here is a little exercise that I have practiced for years. I recommend it as a way to download a new operating system in some of the more important areas of our lives.
Let’s imagine a thought that goes something like this: Oh, I never have enough money.
Any of you ever have a thought like this? How about if you really start paying attention to your thoughts? Get really familiar with these tapes running in your head. With a little practice you will notice that this thought about not having enough comes with a feeling or emotion attached to it. It is like a vibration, like the “tune” of the thought and it is not positive. So, negative thought, negative emotion, and negative vibration. How do you know this? You can feel it.
So, here’s the exercise. Once you notice the thought, when you begin to hear it, you turn it off right in the middle. You stop thinking the thought before it is complete. So you get to, Oh, I never have e-… and then stop. Do that for a while. Then you can get so sensitive as to stop after I never ha-… Do that for a while. Then stop after Oh, I ne-…
And then something really magical happens. The vibration, or the emotion connected to the thought is recognizable even before the thought forms. And if you sense that vibration, you can turn to something more positive, something that is more in line with the success you desire. And you go to that thought. With practice, you can stop thinking thoughts that are not aligned with your success, and choose only ones that do. You pivot.
Over time you have replaced the old familiar negative thoughts with new ones that feel great. This helps you create what you desire. It makes the creative process easier and more fun. You have trained and strengthened your mind just as you train and strengthen your body when going to the gym. This is true mental conditioning. You are aligning yourself with your desires.
Now let’s combine the two components: the story you tell and the thoughts that you think. Are you telling a story about being a Super Star, yet persist in holding thoughts of scarcity around money? Downloading new thoughts and beliefs around abundance will help pave your way to achieving the income of an Ambassador.
Do you pay lip service to time freedom, yet find yourself stressing over time on a daily basis? Allowing yourself to relax into thoughts about the abundance of time will alert the universe to give you more of that. These are golden opportunities, little gems that hold the key for you to get on track, to become the distributor you want to attract. Tell a new story. Align your thoughts with good feelings that match your desires. You are well on your way to being aligned with your success.
Enjoy the creative process and know that you deserve to live the life you dream of.
