If you don’t know what you want, The Law of Attraction doesn’t work

If you had asked me what I wanted a few years ago, I would have fumbled around for an answer and come up with that I wanted more money and more success and to feel excited about my life. But if you had asked me to get specific, I would have been flustered.

Why?

For me, it was a couple of things…

1. I knew there was MUCH MORE for me, but I couldn’t quite put a finger on what it was.
2. I was terrified to try to define it, because I didn’t want to attract the wrong thing.

I was never one of those people that thought the Law of Attraction doesn’t work. In fact, I always had complete faith that it works and that is what froze me at times, because I didn’t want to put the power of the law of attraction into manifesting something that I didn’t really want or worse, thought I wanted because I was feeling fearful and desperate.

And because I didn’t get specific, I attracted a whole bunch of things that fit my general requests, but they were never quite right.

For example…in 2 weeks time, I went from making less than $1000/month (in New York City…YIKES) to making OVER $5000/month. BUT…once the excitement wore off, I realized I was making money doing something that I didn’t want to do.

I adjusted, got specific and started attracting what I DID want and this taught me that you can always adjust your focus and change what you are attracting.

The moral of the story is that it is better to get specific and use the power of the Law of Attraction to attract what you are focusing on and then, if you need to, redefine your focus as you discover more of what you want…than it is to float around generally attracting things that are ‘kind of’ what you want.

Here’s the key…

It doesn’t matter why you are having trouble getting specific…

What matters is that you have a tool to help you GET SPECIFIC!

Here’s an exercise to do just that:

Grab 2 pieces of paper and a timer.

Put the timer on for 5 minutes.

In single sentences, write down everything that YOU DO NOT WANT.

Write it all down…all the things that drive you crazy about your life…everything you DON’T want to define you…EVERYTHING…

DO IT NOW…and then come back.

Welcome back…

OK…now look at the list of awfulness and take each sentence and on another piece of paper write down the opposite.

For instance, if you wrote, “I don’t want to be poor” then you would write on the other piece of paper “I want to be rich”.

NOW this is the Law of Attraction Key we talked about last time…YOU MUST write down specifics of what being rich is to you.

Don’t skip this part of the exercise. I know it might seem like a lot…but ask yourself if you’re ready to start using the Law of Attraction to work for you…and if the answer is ‘Yes’ then take the time to do this and get specific…trust me…it’s worth it.

Go Big!

Law of Attraction Tip – Be Specific

You’re here reading this, so I know 1 thing about you…

You’re looking for Law of Attraction Tips…

I can even guess that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for you the way you had hoped.

So, I know 2 things about you…but there is only 1 thing I really need to know about you and this is the first thing I ask every coaching client I work with.

Now I’m going to ask you…

You ready? Here it is…

What do you want to use the Law of Attraction for?

Seriously…why are you so interested in the Law of Attraction? What is it that you want to attract?

Chances are good you answered something like:

I want to attract more money…

I want to attract love…

I want to attract a better job…

I want to attract happiness…

I want to attract success…

OR you may have even answered…

I DON’T KNOW!

If you were more specific with you answers, GOOD FOR YOU! If you weren’t, don’t worry, most people give a general answer at first, but here’s the challenge with general answers…

More money, love, success etc. means something different to everyone!

Before you can attract anything, you need to use this simple, but often overlooked (or ignored) Law of Attraction Tip.

BE SPECIFIC!

If you tell me you want to attract more money and I hand you a penny…are you going to be happy?

NO…

So when you say you want to attract more money (or love or happiness or success etc.) what do you mean?

Be specific…write it down…picture it…taste it. Seriously, use all of your senses and get into as much detail as possible.

The details matter… and what really matters is that you tap into how this FULL PICTURE of what you want in complete detail makes you FEEL!

All the Law of Attraction tips in the world won’t help you attract what you want unless you are extremely specific AND connected to it emotionally. So, do it right now…pick one thing you want to attract (yup…that’s right, just do one at a time) and write it down in FULL DETAIL.

The Law of Attraction Keys we’ve talked about so far are:

• Get specific
• Connect emotionally
• Identify what is inspired action
• Take inspired action

Next time we’ll talk about what to do if you don’t know what you want. Trust me, it’s much EASIER to discover what you want to attract than you may think and I’ll give you an exercise in the next post!

The Law of Attraction Key – Inspired Action

Ok…let’s jump right in…

We’ve established that the Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working; it’s just a matter of if it is working for you or against you.

What we spend the majority of our time focusing on is we attract. If you spend most of your time thinking, feeling and acting broke…the Law of Attraction will deliver more situations to prove you are broke.

However, if you spend the majority of your time thinking, feeling and acting rich, then guess what the Law of Attraction will deliver to you?

You guessed it…opportunity for more riches!

Notice I said OPPORTUNITY for more riches…the reason I said OPPORTUNITY is because the Law of Attraction Key is INSPIRED ACTION.

Without Inspired Action you may be constantly surrounded by the opportunity for the life you desire…but if 8 million doors open up and you just sit there and don’t actually walk through one of those doors then your life still won’t change.

At this point, the question always arises of how to know the difference between regular action and Inspired Action and trust me there is a HUGE difference.

Regular action can keep you busy and running in circles every day for the rest of your life while inspired action doesn’t eat up all of your time and definitively moves you toward your goals.

Knowing the difference between regular action and inspired action will eventually become a ‘Gut Instinct’ for you…and once you tap into your intuition the Law of Attraction will work for you in ways you never imagined.

BUT…chances are good that right now you are like most people and much, if not most, of the action you take is probably inspired by fear or boredom.

There is 1 question you can ask yourself to discover if your instinct is guiding you out of Fear or Inspiration.

Before you take action, ask this question:

“Will doing this right now move me toward my goal of __________, away from my goal of __________ OR keep me in the same exact place?’

IT’S IMPORTANT to name the goal SPECIFICALLY, if you are general and don’t get specific this won’t be as effective.

If your honest answer is that it will move you toward your goal, GREAT, GO FOR IT…you are about to tap into the Law of Attraction Key of Inspired Action.

BUT…if it will move you away from your goal OR keep you in the same exact place then ask yourself this question:

‘What small action can I take RIGHT NOW to move me toward my goal of _______.”

When an answer pops into your head, ask yourself the first question again just to make sure you aren’t fooling yourself.

Then…

GO TAKE INSPIRED ACTION!

Remember, the Key to the Law of Attraction is Inspired Action. And once you tap into the power of Inspired Action you will stop taking action out of fear and in doing so will start immediately start attracting the life you desire.
