If you are reading this article, then know that it was written for you; and it is not a "coincidence" that it found its way to you. Somewhere along your life journey, in a much deeper place within you, whether you were conscious of this or not, you wanted a better understanding of life. You wanted to understand more so that you may experience a more fulfilling life. And it is in this thought of wanting, in combination with your strong emotion reflecting this intention, that the powerful Law in the Universe, the Law of Attraction, led you to this.

When you understand how the Law of Attraction works, you will understand why there are no "coincidences" in life—never were, never will be. Nothing happens by chance. The Law of Attraction is as real as the Law of Gravity; they are few of the most powerful Laws that exist in this Universe. These Laws are fair, consistent and absolute.

Getting ready.

Whether you believe it or not, these Laws are always in effect. They do not judge you and they are not selective as to whom they want to work for, and to whom they don't. Whether you perceive yourself as good, bad, rich, poor, tall, short—it doesn't matter. If you jump off a building, by the Law of Gravity you will certainly go down. And whatever you focus on with strong emotions for an extended period of time, by the Law of Attraction, you will manifest it into your life, whether these thoughts were formed by you consciously, or unconsciously—meaning, by default.

These Laws—even if you do not understand that they do—affect your experience even in your ignorance of them. In this physical world, you can see the Law of Gravity at work right before your eyes. Whereas the Law of Attraction is happening right before you, but you cannot physically see it at work because this Law is responding to the thoughts that you hold in your mind. Therefore, it deals with energy and vibration, which you cannot physically see.

You can deliberately create your life experiences by directing your thoughts and focus upon the things that you do want to draw into your experience. If you are not aware of this Law or understand its power, you would only remain creating unconsciously or by default. And this is why when something unwanted happens in your life, you do not understand why it happened, and you believe you have no control. But you do. It is best you realize this for yourself sooner, than later.

As you begin to understand this powerful Law, the evidence of it that surrounds you will be apparent, for you will begin to recognize the exact correlation between what you have been thinking about and what is actually coming into your experience. Nothing merely happens by chance. You attract it—all of it. There are no exceptions. Yes, I know... becoming more "conscious" of this concept can be frightening at first, because it means we must take personal responsibility for ourselves—and for our thoughts, attitudes, career, health.

Dogleg right?

Let me elaborate to give you an even better understanding of this Law. When you see something you would like to experience and you say, "Yes, I would love to have that," through your attention to it, you begin to invite it into your experience. However, when you look at something and say, "No, I don't want that to happen to me. I hope I never have to experience that," through your attention to it, you invite that into your experience. There is no such thing as exclusion in this attraction-based Universe. Your attention to it includes it in your vibration, and if you hold it in your attention or awareness long enough, the Law of Attraction will bring it into your experience.

You see, the powerful Law of Attraction does not judge "right" from "wrong", "good" from "bad", "something you want" from "something you do not want". It only brings to you the essence of that which you give thought to.

So to clarify further, when you look at something and say, "No, no, I don't want to experience 'this'. I hope 'it' never happens to me!" then what you are actually doing is calling "it" into your experience, for there is no such thing as "no" in an attraction-based Universe. Your attention to "it" is vibrating the energy, "Yes, come to me, 'this thing' I do not want!" Through the Law of Attraction, you are attracting "it", the essence of that which you do not desire.

Fortunately for you, here in our physical time-space reality, things do not manifest into your experience instantaneously. There is a magnificent buffer of time between when you begin to think about something and the time it manifests. This gives you the opportunity to redirect your thoughts more and more in the direction of the things you actually do want to manifest in your experience.

This is cute.

Right now you may be experiencing something you do not like, be it money issues, health issues, relationship issues or whatever the case, and you say, "How could I have invited this into my life? I don't even like it, let alone want it enough to invite it!" And I would have to agree with you, though, I must point out the fact that you did indeed invite it, attract it, or create it—but not on purpose. So it is essential you understand how this Law works so you can start living your life on purpose.

Goose print.

Somewhere along the way, by default, you have offered your thought, and then the Law that you do not understand responded to your thought, causing results that you do not understand. It is through your thoughts that you invite, but because of the buffer of time in our physical time-space reality, what you are living today is a result of thoughts that you have thought before this time, just as the thoughts that you are thinking today, you are projecting into your future.

Your thoughts today are pre-paving your future, and there will be a point in time when you will move to that future place, and you will then live the results of the thoughts that you are thinking now—just as today you are living the results of the thoughts that you have before.

So the point here is: It is never too late to change anything that displeases you, for you can deliberately redirect your thoughts to only the things that please you. See that which you want as vividly as you can and focus only on that, so much so that it evokes positive emotion and there are no doubts—no contradictory thoughts—to slow down the process of your manifestation for the near future. These thoughts have to be so real that you feel excited; you feel only positive emotion through and through. Only then will you have truly pre-paved for yourself a positive future experience with the thoughts you are having today, and everyday.

If you are purely visualizing without a doubt, but with absolute certainty, excitement and anticipation, you will begin to see many signs of it: You will see people coming to you that you would like to know; you will take more notice of aspects of the things you want, in many different directions; you will notice yourself doing things differently because you are thinking differently; you will end up in places with information that benefit you; you will find yourself thinking about it and feeling excited about it often; and you will be feeling very good about that which you want—those will be some of the signs that will tell you the thoughts you have been having with strong positive emotion, are starting to bring you what you want.

(Don't worry if all this is new to you. Later, I will recommend some books that will show you exactly how to make this Law work for you.)

Often, when one first learns of the powerful Law of Attraction, they try to monitor each thought, often feeling guarded about their thoughts. This is absolutely not necessary. Rather than trying to monitor your thoughts, you need only pay attention to how you are feeling. For if you choose a thought that is not in harmony with the deeper, wiser inner part of your being, you will feel discomfort, and then you can easily redirect your thought to something that feels better, which serves you better.

Paying attention to your feelings is simple once you understand that there are really only two emotions: one feels good, and the other feels bad. You call them all sorts of different things, perhaps even using all sorts of fancy words, depending on the context of the situation. But it all boils down to you either feeling good, or feeling bad.

When you are giving thought in a direction of something that you do not want, you will feel negative emotion. Negative emotion exists only when you are miscreating. When you are giving thought in the direction of what you want, you will feel positive emotion. And so, simply by paying attention to the way you are feeling, you will know at all times, the direction from which your powerful magnetic being is attracting the subject of whatever you are giving thought to.

And it is also when you recognize that you are feeling negative emotion—no matter why, no matter how it got there, no matter what the situation is—stop doing whatever it is you are doing and focus your thoughts on something that feels better. This takes practice. However, the more you practice, the better you get—just like anything else you choose to do in life.

Whenever you are feeling good, know that you are, in that moment, thinking, speaking, or acting in accordance with your intentions—and know that whenever you are feeling bad, you are not aligned with your intentions. In short, whenever there is negative emotion present within you, you are, in that moment, miscreating, either through your thought, your word, or your action.

Another important factor to keep in mind: Anyone can have a thought. But merely having a thought does not cause it to manifest. The thought has to be in combination with strong emotion over a period of time, before it builds momentum, grows larger, becomes more powerful. And so, the larger the thought (with strong emotion) grows, the more power it draws unto it, and the more certain you are to receive the experience.

Go ahead and study the people you admire and you will recognize for yourself the exact correlation between what they have been thinking about and what they have been able to accomplish in their experience.

The Law of Attraction says: That which is like unto itself, is drawn. To better understand this, see yourself as a magnet attracting unto you the essence of that which you are thinking and feeling. And so, if you feel poor, you cannot attract prosperity. If you are feeling fat, you cannot attract thin, and so on. It defies the Law.

We have coined many phrases because of our partial understanding of this Law. We say, "The rich gets richer." We say, "Birds of a feather flock together." We say, "You reap what you sow." But even as we are saying these things, most of us do not truly understand how powerful the Law of Attraction really is. Every circumstance and event is a result of it. People are drawn together because of it. Thoughts that are vibrationally similar to one another are drawn magnetically to one another through this powerful Law.

Most physical beings are so completely integrated into their physical world that they have very little conscious awareness of their relationship with the non-physical world. For instance, you want music in your car, so you turn on the stereo, and hear the music. You can easily explain which button turns on the stereo, and how to tune into your favorite station. But you also understand that there is much more to the story of how this non-physical matter called music sounds itself to you.

Same thing applies when you want light in your bedroom. You turn on the switch, and watch the light flood the room. You can easily explain to others that, "This switch turns on that light." But you also recognize that there is much more happening behind the scenes to cause this non-physical matter called light to appear. And so it is with all things that you are experiencing in your physical setting. You are explaining only a little bit of what makes things happen. And it is also that I am now explaining only a little bit of how the Law of Attraction works, and how you have come to read this article. There is much more you can learn about this Law to greatly benefit your life.

There have been countless books devoted to the explanation of this powerful Law. Some of these books not only dwell deep into exactly how this Law works, but they also explain and show you in detail how you can deliberately use the Law to your greatest advantage. It does not matter who you are, or what circumstance you are in or were born into. Once you understand this Law and start to pay attention to what you are giving your attention to, you will regain control of your own life experience. And with that control, you will remember that there is nothing that you desire that you cannot achieve, and there is nothing that you do not want that you cannot release from your experience.
