Utilizing The Law of Attraction

by Jack Canfield

The law of attraction states that you will attract into your life–whether wanted or unwanted–whatever you give your energy, focus, and attention to.

You are constantly giving off vibrations of energy when you think and feel. These vibrations can be picked up and received by other people. That’s why people say, “he has good vibes,” or “he gives off bad vibes.” You are constantly giving off vibrations — literally!

If you’re feeling excited, enthusiastic, passionate, happy, joyful, loving, appreciative, abundant, prosperous, relaxed and peaceful, you are giving off positive vibrations.

On the other hand, if you’re feeling bored, anxious, worried, confused, sad, lonely, hurt, angry, resentful, guilty, disappointed, frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed out, or depressed, then you are giving off negative vibrations.

The law of attraction states that the universe responds to whatever you are offering — by giving you more of whatever you are vibrating. It doesn’t care whether it is good for you or not; it simply responds to your vibration.

If you saw the film The Secret, you saw this explained in great detail.

The problem is that most of the time, you are not aware of what vibration you are offering. You are simply responding to things outside of you–current events, the news, how people treat you, the stock market, how much money you are making, how your children are doing in school, whether or not your favorite sports team wins–and then having a feeling that is either positive or negative.

When you are simply responding unconsciously to what happens around you, you tend to stay “stuck” in your current condition. This is why most people’s lives never seem to change very much. They get stuck in a repeating cycle of recreating the same reality over and over by the vibration they are sending out.

It works like this… First you observe what you currently have and are currently receiving in your life. You call this your “reality.” You respond to what you observe with a feeling, positive or negative, which then gives off that vibration to the universe. The law of attraction then responds to this vibration and brings you more of what you were vibrating. This keeps the cycle going over and over, until you choose to change it through the exertion of your will. You are a victim of your lack of awareness of the law of attraction.

The Process of Intentional Creation

It is possible to get out of this vicious cycle and create what you want instead of continually recreating what you already have. It is a simple, three-step process that you can begin immediately.

If you’ve been implementing the action steps I coach you through in The KEY to Living the Law of Attraction, you have already begun this process.

Step 1: Identify what you truly desire & eliminate the negative

It is important to focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want. You must state it in the positive and filter out the words don’t, not and no. Remember, your mind works in pictures and if you say I don’t want to be mad, you are creating the picture and thus the vibration of being mad. You must create the opposite of what you don’t want.

Step 2: Raise your vibration level

Your job in stage two is to create a vibrational match for that which you say you want to have. How would you be feeling if you already had those things–the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the amount of money that you want to have?

Your job is to identify what makes you feel good and do more of it, then learn not to tolerate your negative feelings.

Affirmations are an important component in raising your vibrational level to what it is you want. Remember, the law of attraction does not respond to the words you use or the thoughts you think. It simply responds to how you feel about what you say and how you feel about what you think.

For information on how to create even more effective affirmations, review chapter 10 in The Key to Living the Law of Attraction, where you’ll find my guidelines for creating effective visualizations.

Step 3. Release it and allow it.

In this third step, you simply release your affirmation, your vibration, and your feelings to the universe to take care of your “request” or “order” as I call it. But you have to abstain from any doubts. If you doubt you can have it in any way, then you are not allowing it. You are pushing it away and you end up with contradictory messages to the universe.

It is only when the contradictory thoughts, talk, and images are removed that your desired results will manifest. The faster you remove your resistance, the faster your dreams can be realized.

Jump In and Get Gutsy!

So I got gutsy on Friday Night and I pulled down the Blue Felt Design website.

Though I had a bunch of projects going already for the weekend and plans to take Rybear to see his great grandparents on Sunday, I figured the pressure would help me to redesign the site and quick. I have been talking about it for a couple weeks now.

Sometimes you need to jump in head first.

Well, I have made great headway, but still have a long way to go. Some of my original ideas were not panning out once I try to actually design the “great idea.”

It’s funny how quick what seems like a good idea can actually turn pretty crappy once you start to act it out.

It is important to know when to stop a project and change directions. I don’t know how many times I have tried to force a bad design idea only to waste hours with no outcome other than finding I should have went with my instincts and changed direction hours earlier.

Some of my best work is some when I am flexible and let the design process happen organically–forcing it is just a bad idea that gives you forced, awkward results. This is true in many situations, not just design.

And I work best with some pressure added, I need to feel the squeeze of a deadline.

So my goal is to have the site up tomorrow at this point I am not sure what shape it will be in as the complexity of the portfolio design and the addition of several new sections may take a while.  I am still figuring out a lot as I go.

I love how ballsy I am being on a lot of areas of my life, I am kinda impressed.

I was working on another new web project for a client on Saturday morning and needed to call on the help of tech support. I end up getting a business consultant on the line rather than a regular tech guy and spent the next hour on the phone discussing the growth and expansion of my business.

It was crazy, I was speaking a language a month and a half ago I didn’t know.  I was talking about things I had no clue about a few months earlier. I got off the phone and Sean gave me that look, he knew I had more up my sleeve.

Expanding my options, thinking big, and learning so much.

So being ballsy has been paying off.
I have learned so much.
I have some new kick ass designs.
I speak a few new technical languages.
And I don’t have a Blue Felt website- just yet!
It will be bigger and better than the last one, and hopefully up tomorrow for business.\

Getting Gutsy

Moving, and moving on up

Sean and I have decided to switch over to the WordPress platform very soon, so I have been working to learn everything I can to have the switch over a smooth one. I think it will go ok, and now is probably the best time to do it. I am hoping to have it complete my next weekend.

Yesterday I went out and shot job sites for the gallery on the website I have been working on. I have a simple method, for now, that I will build the gallery, but it would be nice to learn more complicated code to make the gallery more effective. I need to do this to my Blue Felt website as well, it would make it look much more professional. I had been fighting website building for some time, and now that I am starting to learn more and embrace it I am getting other job offers as well. I need my skill to match my desire!

I have sold several more Stellar Ink designs since I got all the new stuff up on the storefront. I started working on more designs this past week but had a bid for t-shirt printing come in and take up most of my time Thursday and Friday morning. I am not sure if I can pull this bid through, and I am going to meet with the client today to hone in on some details. My past vendor is gone, just completely off the map, and finding a new one with great prices and service on short notice has been a challenge. It is strange to see businesses just disappear: my vendors, clients, retailers, local restaurants.

I am still here, and still pushing through. I though I do not have too much going on (I should say coming in) I am certain that the actions I am taking today are helping to build my foundation for the future. Its coming, I know it.
