Chances are you were inspired to make your dreams come true after watching “The Secret.” It felt like what you wanted was right at your fingertips. You really inspired yourself to make your hopes and dreams come true. You made an effort to apply the law of attraction to your life, but then you realized that it was not going to be easy. At this point, you’ve made the decision that the law of attraction isn’t working for you because you haven’t seen any positive results from all the effort you’ve put in.
Many people had this similar experience after seeing the movie. Don’t be discouraged. Don’t expect a lifetime of thinking to change instantly. Constant practice is needed. It will take time and practice, similar to learning to play music or learning a new language. Once you lose focus and the ability to stay positive, you attract negative results into your life.
When you get discouraged, it’s hard to stay optimistic. So here are the following tips that can make the law of attraction work for you, with confidence and without getting discouraged.
1. Have the ability to receive
If people were to come to you and ask you a series of questions one after another, I’m sure your reaction would be to tell them to slow down and ask them to ask one question at a time. It is the same with the universe and your mind. If all you do is continually ask the universe questions, the universe won’t have time to answer. With the help of being receptive to the opportunities that come your way, lay out your desires and allow the universe to do its work.
2. Patience and Perseverance
When you get discouraged, don’t let it get to you. It won’t do you any good if you start a downward spiral of negativity. Before you can achieve success, you will encounter defeats and failures in life. When you are defeated, it can be easy to give up. When times get tough, people give up, that’s what a lot of people do before they find success. Before successfully inventing the light bulb, Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times. If Thomas Edison gave up after his 9,999th try, what do you think our world would look like? “There are no limitations to the mind except those we recognize”, this quote from Napoleon Hill is true. People give up just before they reach the finish line, that’s the reason most people fail. Wait and see why you can succeed if you refuse to give up.
3. Give thanks
It’s easy to feel grateful when life goes your way. What do you think is the best thing to do when life gives you lemons? Make lemonade of course! I know you’ve heard that saying before. Your life is similar to a roller coaster, it has many ups and downs. There is little difference between happy people and pessimistic people. Happy people and pessimistic people have the same problems and issues, the only difference is their mood. The difference is how they perceive things in life. Optimistic people can find something to be thankful for, no matter how life goes. Being grateful means acknowledging all the happiness in your life, no matter how big or small. If there is something in your life that can make you smile, be aware of it. Why don’t you notice the beauty of nature, the sun that shines and makes you see the beautiful colors of the flowers? Be thankful for the people in your life. The person whose arms wrap around you, as you fall asleep every night. The soft brush of her lips against your forehead when you say goodbye when you go to work. Observe the atmosphere at work and how the good humor of your co-workers affects you. Being aware of these things could help your state of mind motivate and inspire you to succeed in all your endeavors by finding the simple joy in your entire life.
