How Does Gratitude Activate the Law of Attraction?

Ok, to say that gratitude activates the Law of Atttraction it is not completely true. I mean it is, but it isn't.

Let me explain. The Law of Attraction is in effect all the time. So to say that gratitude, or anything else, activates it isn't quite accurate.

BUT....

Gratitude WILL activate your ability to attract what you WANT.

See, you are attracting all the time. You think, believe, perceive, communicate and act in ways that result in whatever you experience. This is so cool to get! YOU have the power to create what you want! The power is in your hands. Well, it's actually in your head, but you know what I mean.

You are here because you want to learn how to use this law to create what you want. You want to discover keys and tools that will help you master the law so that you create on purpose. You don't want to just have the law working in your life.... you want to the law to be working FOR your life!

So what is the relationship between gratitude and the Law of Attraction? One of the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction is:

What you pay attention to grows. You bring about what you predominately think about (consciously or unconsciously).

Gratitude is a choice. It's an attitude. It's a state of being. It's a way of perceiving life. When you live in gratitude, you are placing your attention deliberately. Placing your attention deliberately...this is a big determiner in your quality of life. Are you going to play big? Be fully alive? Experience all you desire? Then you must place your attention deliberately.

If what you pay attention grows, and you are placing your attention on gratitude-then that which you are grateful for will grow. Now, on the one hand it will create more of what you are thankful for i.e. joy, health. YET, the power of gratitude goes way beyond "results". It's not just about saying thanks to have more. It's about radically changing the quality of life. As gratitude becomes foundational to your way of being, you are simply thankful for life. Not things that happen, not stuff you gain, not experiences you have, but simply life. Don't get me wrong, you can have all these things.

But what I'm offering to you, what the very nature of gratitude is offering you, is a quality of life that will be riddled with joy and fulfillment. And this state of being will remain as long as you live once you get that it is not the circumstances of your life that determine your joy, but your decision to live in state of mind that includes gratitude for the very sacred nature of life.

Thank you.

A Key to Attraction and Paradigm 101

A key to the Law of Attraction is a paradigm shift. It is:

Success is something you attract by becoming the person you are; it is not something you “get to”.

Before I expand, I want to provide a little "Paradigm Shift 101". Understanding paradigms provides leverage in exercising your power. Paradigms are the way you look at reality. They comprise the lens through which you view life. This lens shapes the way you experience everything.

Other ways to consider paradigms:

  • The understanding of the world you live in
  • Images, assumptions and stories you carry in your mind of yourself, other people and every aspect of the world
  • Planes of existence
  • Ways of thinking

Paradigms can be so ingrained in the way you think and experience, you don't even consider that they are there or what they are. You can identify what paradigms you currently live in and adopt new ones that create different results for you. You change your thinking, you change your life. This is a paradigm shift. You choose to take on a new way of perceiving reality/lens in order to have a new experience. Get clear about what experience you want and then create a paradigm to fit it.

So back to the paradigm that is key to the Law of Attraction...

Success is something you attract by becoming the person you are; it is not something you "get to".

In our society, we are taught that success is something outside ourselves that we will eventually get to. Unfortunately, with the impossible definitions of success that are out there, we never attain it. As a result, there can be a constant striving and struggle to get to something that doesn't really exist. How crazy making is that?

The Law of Attraction is a reminder that the universe wants you to succeed. It is a reminder that you are actually created to succeed and that all will line up with ease when certain conditions are in place.

THE foundational condition is you. Your very being.

So keep your focus on becoming the person you are. How can you do this? There are many paths and tools that support your becoming. I encourage you to find ones that speak to you. The point is to ground your being and then place your attention on the doing. By having the conditions within you that are success, your ability to have and do the things you want will be filled with greater ease.

One way to approach this is a meditation/visualization I offer to clients regarding their aspirations. For instance, if you want to be a powerful person, begin by defining what that means to you. What are the qualities of a powerful person? Does it mean having certain things, i.e. money? What kinds of activities will you being doing when you are powerful?

Once you have identified these things, BE them. That is right. Don't wait until certain things happen to be convinced that you are powerful. Know it right now. What does a powerful person feel like? How do they walk? How do they communicate? BE and DO all those things.

Act as if it is so. Because it is.
