Thoughts become things

We are what we believe we are.

C.S Lewis

Our thoughts attract the life we live in. This law was brought to mass attention by the book called The Secret. The Secret helped in coining the term law of attraction.

Whether you know about the law of attraction or not, it is always working for you.

What is the law of attraction?

In the New Thought philosophy, the Law of Attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person’s life.

As per the Law of attraction, everything is energy, you are constantly attracting the circumstances that match your energy. If you think positively and have good thoughts all the time, you are likely to attract positive results. Similarly, if you focused on lack and negativity, then you will attract that into your life.

As I started noticing and practicing this law, I realized that all the major religions of the world were also preaching the same. All the rituals suggested in these religions, make us believe that we are inviting good events to take place, which eventually results in the desired results.

It is similar to the algorithm of Facebook or Google, if you are browsing a dress on a website, it will likely end up on your feed, or you will see similar Ads.

Briefly, we get what we attract.

So, why do unwanted things happen to us when no one wants them to happen?

Here, is the fun part of the LOA, it is profoundly working on the way you feel. If you feel worried most of the time, you will observe that you have more things to worry about.

For example:

Do you remember facing heavy traffic when you were wishing to not be late for an event? When you keep thinking that you do not want to face a traffic jam on your way throughout the day, you are more likely to be stuck in the traffic jam. Because each time that you are talking about traffic, you are attracting it.

Focusing on ‘Not wanting XYZ‘ is going to attract XYZ.

Think about the language that you are using while attracting things into your life and re-frame it if situations are not working out for you.

How to make the Law of attraction work for you?

We are constantly attracting people and events subconsciously. So, if you want to change the circumstances that you are in, you will have to make a shift in your thought pattern. You can also start with various meditations, visualization exercises, and vision boards. (I can create an entire handbook on tools and tips – let me know if you are interested)

Feeling is the key: If the things that you want to manifest will make you happy. You will have to start with feeling happy in the first place. You cannot complain about life and attract a good one at the same time.

To attract things that make you feel good, you will have to make efforts to think good.

But, I am doing everything right, feeling good, why is it not working for me?

Then, you need to heal yourself on an emotional level. Sometimes, we don’t see the problem on the surface, we merely check if we are feeling good at the moment. Ask yourself. If there are issues or feelings that you are not confronting yet. Are you trying to cover up your underlying emotions by asking yourself to ignore the unpretty parts of your life?

A happy self is not just putting on a smile, and thinking that everything is alright, it requires work. Happiness has to come from within; you cannot force it.

I hope this sheds some light on the way the Law of Attraction is working for us. I would love to hear your experiences with the LOA and how you manifested the things that you desired.
