Robin’s Reflections

One of the constant, and maybe the hottest, battles being waged by the different factions of believers in the Law of Attraction is whether or not you have to take some direct action to make the principles work.

Some think just aligning your thoughts and feelings with a positive vibrational frequency is more than enough to bring what you want into your life. Others believe that if you don't take some action, nothing will happen. Both sides have valid points.

Taking action is a valid method of bringing the abundance of the Universe into your life, but is it necessary? Here's some points to consider when you are making up your own mind about what action to take…or not.

There's no doubt that adopting a more proactive role in the makeup of your own future is empowering. Feeling like you have no control over your life is definitely a downer and is a resistance to the success of the Law of Attraction. Taking action here will raise the frequency of your vibrations and make what you send out to the Universe stronger.

When you take some positive action on anything, you open up opportunities and channels that increase the possibilities of the Universe delivering more abundance than you ever expected.

Changing your thought processes and feelings will, without a doubt, change the results you get from the Law of Attraction into a positive force in your life. Taking action might make that force enter your life faster than just sitting around waiting patiently for it to arrive.

A passive approach to almost anything does not generate speedy results, but a more deliberate, slow return than you might anticipate.

If you just cannot decide upon a path to take, send this thought into the Universe and wait for the answer: “I’d like to bring _______ into my life; please show me how to make that happen.” It might not be what you expected, but you will surely get an answer.

If you decide on a course of action that will fill your life with abundance, have fun with it. Stay positive and don't make this process difficult or painful. It's not necessary. Some effort on your part will be required, but it doesn't have to be painful.

When you think of the word "sacred," do you picture something that is to be worshipped?  It could be, but it can also be a way of life.  Do you think life is sacred?  The fact that I get up every day and draw a breath is a sacred thing to me.  How about the rest of the day?  I have certainly found myself running around just trying to get by on a daily basis.  I forget to live with the awareness that my life is sacred and to treat it as such.  How many beautiful things do you think we all miss by living in a rush?  I'm thinking there are way too many of those moments.  How about we make a pact to not do that anymore?

I know it's easy to get caught up in being busy.  There are a lot of modern gadgets that help promote the busy-ness by extolling the virtues of time saving and labor saving features.  How ironic is that?  Life is more stress filled and chaotic than ever.  There is a way to calm most of the stress by taking a more gentle approach to life.  You can have a life that is infused with spiritual strength and purpose each moment of the day. 

                The simplest things are usually the best.  Here are three of them that could help you live a more sacred life:

1)            Stop for a moment.  You can't find sacredness in your life if you spend the majority of your time in hyper drive.  You're going so fast you are just going to fly right by any hint of the sacred!  Stop doing that and make a habit of stopping every once in awhile during the day to let go of stress and reconnect with your inner self.  It doesn't have to be more than a moment or two.  Just take a breath and listen to your spirit. 

2)            Turn off the autopilot.  How's that heavy fog around your life feel?  A little scattered, maybe a bit disconnected?  You are on autopilot.  You are doing what you do today simply because it is what you did yesterday.  If you want to experience life at a deeper, more sacred level, you have to wake up and be aware of your spiritual self.  Once you stop for a moment as mentioned above, expand your awareness of everything around you.  You are a spiritual being having a physical experience, NOT the other way around.  Several times throughout your day, come to an awareness of your place in the universe and what a wonderful journey you are having in this life. 

3)            Feel every joy.  Once you stop for a moment and turn off the autopilot, include a moment to find the joy in everything around you.  Find the joy in the experience, in what you see, hear, taste, smell and feel.  Savor your breakfast in the morning rather than eating on the run.  If the freeway becomes a parking lot on the way home from work, listen to some beautiful music and sing at the top of your lungs.  Whether you can carry a tune in a bucket or not, you should always sing like no one is looking! 

These sound pretty simple and they are.  It also becomes easier when you do it on a regular basis.  You will notice a shift in how you view the world.  Everything will be quieter, less chaotic and you will learn to see the beauty around you.  Living a sacred life means nourishing your spiritual self.  You will find more meaning and serenity once you do that.

Trusting is a learned experience and difficult to perfect in a world that is more and more impersonal on an hourly basis. Learning to believe in something you cannot reach out and touch, like the Law of Attraction, is even more difficult when you first begin to remove doubt and experiment with a new way of thinking and feeling.

Doubting sends out a negative message to the Universe, which limits or vaporizes the strength of your signal and perverts your response. The vibrations you send out have to be strong and positive with no room for tentativeness, if you want success.

Don't "but" yourself into failure. Sending "I want this, but…" will just fall by the wayside and not even get noticed by the Universe.

One of the basic tenets of the Law of Attraction is that you get back exactly what you send out. Small adjustments in your beliefs and attitudes will return amazing results from the Universe and help you to build up your trust and belief.

There's three easy ways to get started:

#1  Use past evidence

Think about the times you actually got what you wanted. Didn't you spend time fantasizing about it…anticipating having it…viewing images in your mind's eye of you using or enjoying it?

Enjoying the mental anticipation of getting your dream, without realizing it, was sending lots of energy right into the Universe, which responded by sending what you wanted right back to you. This process works even if you think about negative things. How many times have you run the dread of a possible nightmare happening in your life through your mind and had it happen? You get what you think and feel. It's that simple.

#2  Choose to believe anyway

Trusting someone is a deliberate choice you make when you meet someone you like. Wrong or right, it is a deliberate choice on your part and you do it without actually knowing if that person is trustworthy or not.

Learning to trust the Universe and the Law of Attraction is no different. Just do it! You will be pleasantly surprised by the change that trust will make in your life.

#3  Keep affirming

Constantly affirming that something you cannot see, is a little "over the top" when you first start to use affirmations, but it does work. Repetition of positive statements will wake up your subconscious mind and embed a new attitude in you that will bring amazing results to your life. Try it! You'll like it!

Self improvement includes all aspects of your life. I think it’s high time we all got what we really and truly deserve from life. There is such a thing as work-life balance. You need a career that will support your needs. To have a successful career, you have to have a successful mindset and a strong desire to reach success.

A lot of us have longed for the freedom that comes with success. I want the freedom to live life on MY terms. The Internet has opened up an entire (literal) world of possibilities for capturing that freedom. It is not about making money. It’s about the freedom that a decent income can bring.

The Internet Marketing world is one way in which I have improved my skills, not just in writing but in learning how to run a real business. I have been writing for as long as I can remember and my goal is to make that full time. Though I love writing for the sake of it, my goal of writing full time is focused on how to earn a living doing it. Business skills have to include marketing, promotion, how to find joint ventures and the list seems never ending.

On the Warrior Forum I spent a good deal of the past year just reading posts by experienced marketers. I have to say it has been like getting a FREE university education. Some of these people have forgotten more than most of us will likely learn about running a business. There are some interesting and likable characters on this forum.

I actually found the Warrior Forum through John Thornhill’s ebook business site. John has a very helpful forum with some experienced members who go out of their way to help with any question, no matter what it is. I have been a member there for well over a year now.

While a member of the John’s site, I met Randy Smith. Randy has recently established a membership site called More Monthly. I didn’t join because it’s one of the best value membership sites or that the community forum is already hopping. I joined because of Randy. This is one of the good ones folks. You’ll not ever have to worry whether you’re getting the straight deal.

I also moderate a very active forum at Standing Start Profits. The forum is filled with some really cool and helpful people. They never hesitate to share their knowledge to help others along. The owner of the forum is Lee McIntyre. He is 28 years old and already retired from his teaching job to become a full time marketer. Lee is an invaluable font of information and is always willing to help out in any way he can. Do you want to know the real secrets to making money online? Well, you're not alone. One man who certainly knows the secrets is Lee McIntyre.

Lee has a very handy guide that will help you make your first $500 online. The download is free and I would highly recommend it.

Well, there you have it. I don’t usually do that many promotional posts. However, I strongly feel that attracting success requires action and knowing where to look. Also, this post was meant especially for one person who needed it.

One of my favorite quotes is from Napoleon Hill. “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”. How exciting! Success can and will happen if you see it. Right this minute, imagine the feelings you will have when it happens. Keep those feelings with you until they ARE real.

Blessings!

One of the greatest gifts we receive as deliberate creators is an awakening to our true power to choose our life experiences day to day. Most of us are used to living our lives in response to the things we see and experience in our external surroundings. When everything moves along smoothly for us, we feel good. When things go wrong, we feel bad. We are constantly on a roller coaster of up and down emotions. In other words, we tend to take a passive role in our daily lives, rather than a proactive one.

However, the more we study and apply the Law of Attraction consciously in our lives, the more we realize that our outer experiences are simply the RESULT of what we ve been thinking and feeling.

For most of my early life, I remember wondering why life had to be so HARD all the time. Everything was a struggle for me. I faced constant obstacles no matter what I was trying to accomplish, and things rarely worked out like I wanted them to. I remember writing in my diary that I felt like everything was an uphill climb for me, and I wondered if I had been born under the influence some mysterious curse or something! ; )

Looking back now, I can see so clearly that I was creating ALL of it. Every day I awoke with a sense of defeat in my heart, knowing that things wouldn t work out for me that day. I envisioned all of the challenges I would probably have to face that day. I dreaded trying new things because I knew they would be difficult. I dreaded meeting new people because I knew they probably wouldn t like me. (Do you see a pattern here? grin)

Of course, all of those expectations became self fulfilling prophecies. I was born under the influence of a curse all right one of my own making! It s called Negativity.

My life today is so very different. I m surrounded by miracles. Everything goes smoothly for me. Things work out the way I want them to. I ve become one of those lucky people that receive great opportunities without having to lift a finger. I m happy, healthy and prosperous.

What changed? MY FOCUS.

I finally awakened to the fact that I had the power to CHOOSE the experiences of my life. I finally realized that I ve been choosing all along. So have you. We all have.

Since you are reading this article, you are probably familiar with the basics of the Law of Attraction. Perhaps you ve even had some success using it in your own life. But if you still haven t fully awakened to your power to consciously choose your day to day experiences, here are three powerful ways to get started doing so:

1) Expect the best, always.

When you awaken each day, think about the things you want to experience that day, and mentally live them as though they are happening now. Want to win the lottery? Visualize it! Want to meet some fun new friends? Visualize it! Want to receive a raise or promotion at work? Visualize it! There are NO LIMITS to the amazing mind movies you can create. As you visualize these wonderful things happening to you, you are actually shifting your vibrational frequency and moving yourself into alignment with them and with other great things that you haven t even imagined yet. Try it, it is a powerful exercise!

2) Ditch the negativity.

Fear, worry, doubt and other negative words should be stricken from your vocabulary altogether. Not only should you discard the words discard the emotions that come along with them! If you catch yourself feeling or thinking negatively, do anything you can to shift back into a positive state of mind. Visualize something wonderful again, or do something that makes you feel happy. Be grateful. Be inspired. Consciously choose to be happy. It takes practice, but the more you focus on the positive, the more you ll find yourself naturally being positive with less effort.

3) Do only what you can.

Allow the universe to work on your behalf! If you are one of those people who feels like everything rides on your shoulders and it s all up to you, let go of that thought as quickly as you can. Begin affirming daily that a loving universe is helping you, guiding you and smoothing the path before you. You don t have to do everything yourself! Do what you can, and then turn over the rest to the universe. You don t have to work yourself to death or figure everything out yourself.

There is more to using the Law of Attraction deliberately of course, but these three steps are powerful in their own right. Even if you made no other changes than these three, you d still be astounded by the changes it will create in your life.

More than anything else, it s important to know that you are not a victim. You are not a passive observer. You have the power to choose. And you can exercise that power beginning now.
