Some Common Issues with the Law of Attraction you want to Avoid
Colin Joss
Genevieve Behrend in her book Your Invisible Power wrote, "When your understanding grasps the power to visualize your heart's desires and holds it with your will, it attracts to you all things requisite to the fulfilment of that picture by the harmonious vibration of the Law of Attraction."
What is important to understand is that we all have energy that affects what we do. You have to make a choice though as to if you are going to allow that energy to be something very positive or very negative for you. No one else gets to make this choice for you.
Some people find that the Law of Attraction is to difficult to control so the give up right away. They would rather let things continue to just happen to them than to work for what they really want to see take place. Yet for those that are dedicated to sticking with it, they can really make it work for them. They can find those positive forces of energy out there that will bring good things their way. In order to do this though you have to be able to avoid some of the most common pitfalls.
1.Identify a Goal
This needs to be very precise and not just vague. While your goals will likely change as your life changes you are going to always need to have established goals. Change them though based on what is going on in your life and where you want to be.
For example, the goals of a child are very simple. They want to get married like in the fairy tales, have lots of toys, and to have fun. They also dream of growing up to have an amazing career, a nice home, and a fancy car.
Young adults still want to have a good time so it makes sense that they try to balance out working and having fun. Still, there are many things they would like to have that they often can't afford. That will change again when a person is middle aged. They want to start benefiting from all of their hard work over the years. They tend to be planning for a very nice and relaxing retirement.
Young adults may not be too interested in a long term career yet. They do search for jobs that can help them to pay the bills and have some fun though.
A middle aged person would wish for peace of mind and some leisure to enjoy the fruits of their labor
Too many people will become overwhelmed by what has to take place in order for them to reach a certain goal. That can result in negative energy surrounding them as they are afraid of failing. Yet once you start to write down the smaller pieces you have to accomplish it does get easier, and you will find more positive energy coming your way.
2. How are you going to reach your goal?
It is important to realize that there are plenty of small things you are going to need to accomplish before you reach that ultimate goal. Since we can't control all of the things that take place around us, we have to be as positive as we can with what takes place.
Just as you need to really evaluate your overall goal, you need to evaluate the road you are taking to get there. Think of it as you would a road trip somewhere. If your final destination changes then you are going to need to take another exit so you end up there.
3.Focus on your goal
4. Ignoring your types of energy can be a huge pitfall.
It can be very difficult at this time to stay focused on that goal, but do all you can to keep it in the front of your mind. You don't want to lose track of it or you will never be about to obtain it.
4.Be aware of your energies
Our energies, positive or negative are controlled by our 'well-being' It is very difficult if not impossible to remain positive and radiate positive energies when things are falling around you or when you are surrounded by a pool of negative energies. Just as you are radiating energies that are attracting others of similar energy, others around you are also radiating energies, energies that could be stronger than yours.
That brings us to the next common pitfall with the Law of Attraction. We aren't alone in this world by any means. That being said, what other people do and say is going to have some affect on you. The goal should be to surround yourself with others who are full of positive energy. They are going to help you to stay positive as well. You can turn to them for support when you are letting some types of negative energy get to you.
We aren't on this world by ourselves and that means our lives are going to cross paths with many different people out there. We have to be ready for those that display negative energy. We can't let them stand in the way of our goals we have set for ourselves. You will really have to be careful of this as many of us do have friends, co-workers, and family members that always seem to circulate negative energy.
In many ways you can compare this part of your life to that of a puzzle. There are many pieces that fit together but you have to determine how it works. You have to visualize the overall picture and then work to make it all fit together like you want it to. Where it gets tricky though is that you may have the picture for the completely look of the puzzle, but not all of the pieces to complete it yet. Don't let this be a reason to through the pieces of it that you do have into the trash though.
If you are filling yourself with positive energy though, you can easily visualize what those missing pieces are going to look like. You can have an image in your mind that makes it complete. As you are forming the pieces you do have, you will need to continue visualizing these missing pieces. That is what is going to help you get to the overall goal you have been reaching for.
What this finished puzzle looks like for you though is really going to depend on your energy. If it is positive then it will likely look better than what you earlier imagined. If you see faded areas then you need to work harder to be able to get that very vivid image to become reality.
Since you often won't have all of the pieces to the complete puzzle, Faith has to be present for the Law of Attraction to really work. It is unrealistic to believe that you are going to have all the pieces you need to move forward. This is a very common pitfall that too many people just can't seem to get past. They don't want to believe in something that is still in an abstract format. You will have to decide if you are willing to be focused enough to let your Faith help you go get past it.
The famous words of Winston Churchill certainly apply here. He once said that everyone single one of us will find that opportunity is out there. It is often in a form though that we don't realize. So when we trip over it, we are too occupied with getting up and moving on as if nothing happened. In doing so though we fail to see that opportunity that was right in front of us.
Don't let that be a concept that applies to your own life. Make a conscious effort to generate very positive sources of energy. You will find this attracts others with the similar form of energy to you. Accept responsibility for your actions and the path that your own life has taken. Be willing to take risks in order to achieve the goals you have set for yourself. If you aren't willing to move forward then you are allowing negative energy to control your life. Things are going to come up along the path to your goal but with your positive energy you can find creative ways to get around them.
The time to start applying the Law of Attraction to your own life though is right now. Don't put it off as you are letting quite an opportunity go by that you really want to take advantage of. Don't let those negative thoughts and feelings prevent you from giving it a try.
