The Law of Attraction vs. Action

A lot of people following the Law of Attraction phenomenon believe that Law of Attraction is all there is. The only force in the universe and all you have to do is get feeling good and sit on your butt and things will come knocking on your door.

For me, it is becoming incredibly frustrating. There seems to be no balance in this way of thinking. We live in a physical reality. We live in an action-based reality. All of us are required to DO things in order to GET things. Some people do, do, do, do and work very hard and struggle and don't get very far, and others do less work and accomplish much more. I believe attitude and the Law of Attraction is what is responsible for this.

But the people who are truly successful, even those who admit they focus on feeling good and the Law of Attraction, they are still DOING stuff. In fact, successful people are usually quite busy doing a LOT of physical actions in order to get where and what they want.

Perhaps the TYPE of actions they take are different than those who are miserable and unsuccessful. An unsuccessful person may spend 8-10 hours each day working for minimum wage. That is hard work, and they are not getting very much from that action.
A successful person may spend as many hours or more each day working, but they are meeting with many people, they are delegating responsibilities and they are enjoying their work. But they are STILL putting forth action.

The difference between inspired action, and backbreaking, miserable, belabored action is huge. It's the difference between scrubbing toilets and having a staff of people who scrub your toilet for you.

But there IS action that is needed in order to get to this place. So how do we balance the positive thinking with the action? I see people from all walks of life who believe in the Law of Attraction, study it, meditate, focus on good feeling thoughts... but there is SOMETHING more that separates the good feeling poor people and the good feeling successful people.

I know many LOA students will be up in arms, saying I'm focusing on what I don't want, or that I'm taking score too soon. But there IS something different going on here. For example, my radio show. I love my show and it's a wonderful experience. I would like to earn my living working in radio. So what is the difference between the action I am taking with my show, and the actions of others who have similar shows and are raking in the money? Do others simply have a better business sense?

When all of us are focusing on good feeling thoughts and what we want rather than what we don't want, what is that other variable that is separating the successful from the... shall we say somewhat less successful?

My favourite Hay House radio host is having a 6 month course in manifesting!

Sign up for the course here

My favourite Hay House Radio host, Summer McStravick, is going to be running a 6 month course in manifesting. I've taken this description of the course from the sign-up page

The Art of Flowdreaming: A Six-Course Manifesting Intensive

You’ve tried positive thinking. You’ve tried the Secret. You’ve read Abraham and all the others. And still, what you want to manifest isn’t showing up. You say to yourself:

● I’m thinking good thoughts and practicing the law of Attraction. Why isn’t it working?
● How do I know if I’m even manifesting what’s best for me, or if it’s part of God’s plan for me?
● What am I doing wrong? Because I’ve tried this all before and it didn’t work.
● I know it works, but when will the things I’m manifesting come to me?
● I’ve had success, but never in one certain area. Why can’t I change things for myself there?
● Can I learn to manifest good things for other people, like my spouse or children?

Summer answers these questions and more in her groundbreaking 6-session course that covers every aspect of manifesting through a highly practical technique called Flowdreaming. Summer’s expert knowledge as a manifesting practitioner is translated into every workshop as she teaches you what it means to work with the subtle energies of the Universe. She shows you how to harness universal Flow, and channel it toward your own desires.

Each of you is asked to come to class with a list of your deepest desires. Summer will teach you not just how to send out energy and work with the Universal field of creation, but to bring in help, guidance, and ease in obtaining each of these wishes in your life.

As part of every class, Summer gives you a 5-minute downloadable mp3 of a targeted Flowdream for practicing between classes. Those who take the whole course will receive six Flowdream mp3s to keep, and 9 hours of deeply informative, detailed instruction. A Q&A session with Summer ends every class.

Summer’s powerful abilities and understanding of universal energies has been recognized by such preeminent teachers as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Gregg Braden, Cheryl Richardson, Denise Linn, Carol Ritberger, and Colette Baron-Reid. She has emerged as a leader in the field of manifesting and has been referred to as a rare teacher of the “mysteries.”

“Summer has uncovered a brilliant method for using intention with beauty and precision. A wonderful guide to the art of manifesting.”
— Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Coming up on Synchronicity: Life After Death

My mother died a few years ago. She was the only real family I've ever know and she passed away in the wee hours of April 2nd.
This week's episode is dedicated to my mother. Her life was a struggle and I trust that she was able to release that and find peace and true happiness on the other side.

For the next 3 weeks I'll be playing spoken word recordings of Sylvia Browne's perspective of life on the other side. Topics include angels, ghosts, crossing over and more.

Thanks for tuning in, in honour of my mother.
