Ever wondered why you follow the steps of the law of attraction, yet find it difficult to manifest your desires? When I speak to people about this, it often boils down to a core issue.

“I am living an unhappy life. How can I use the Law of Attraction to attract happiness?”

It may come as an initial shock, but you cannot attract happiness if you are unhappy. If you are unhappy, you will attract unhappiness. As we know, the Law of Attraction states: “like attracts like”. I wish the answer was different, but alas, I didn’t make these rules. It is the failure to explain this in detail that has led many to feel frustration after watching the movie “The Secret” or reading a number of the bestselling Law of Attraction books out there. They all imply that if you artificially pretend you are happy, you will attract happiness. And, since you attracted happiness, you will be happier, causing a chain-of-events leading to your complete success with the Law of Attraction. This is based in truth, but very difficult to actually accomplish in real-life.

So, I should just give up if I am unhappy?

Absolutely not! In fact, there is good news in the midst of all of this. While the Law of Attraction will continue to do what it does, without exception, there are ways for us to address our fundamental happiness. There is actually a very precise science to happiness and there are ways that we can increase the level of happiness we feel. In fact, not only can we increase this level, we can establish a “support system” that will help us from ever faltering into helpless despair again. And, as we know, the more we are happy, the more the Law of Attraction will bring us things that make us happy.

The Six Pillars of Happiness:

1.) Family: The closest of the relationships. These include spouses, children, parents, siblings, etc…

2.) Friends: Relationships that are close to us that are voluntary and with non-family members. These are the people who contribute to your life through support, love, laughter, and entertainment.

3.) Wealth: This is the abundance of anything: respect, love, money, material things, non-material things, etc.

4.) Health: Your physical health, youthfulness, free from ailments. This extends to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and fitness level.

5.) Profession: Your career, your occupation, or even a hobby. I like to think of this category as what you may think as “your contribution to the world”.

6.) Spirituality: This is not strictly a religious concept. It does not matter whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, Atheist, or non-theistic, this pillar is about understanding your place in the universe. It is the understanding that you, somehow, belong to a greater purpose.

It is important that we have SIX (yes, all six) pillars balanced and healthy. Too often, we can think we are happy, but draw our happiness through only a single pillar of happiness. For example, many people identify all of their happiness through a career or occupation. While this one pillar may be very healthy, the other pillars may be neglected. This leads to a potential issue if something unexpected happens in the job, say for instance, you are fired unexpectedly.

The roller coaster of life is often due to us not keeping proper balance between our pillars. In the previous scenario of losing our job, the dramatic impact of such a loss could have been minimized if we had friends, family, wealth, health, and/or spirituality to fall back on. Friends and family to be there to support you, wealth to rely on while we search for another job, health to maintain proper stress levels, and spirituality to provide us hope.

So, now that we understand where we draw upon for our happiness, how do we improve these areas? It is not as hard as you think. If you were to take single action for each of the six pillars, no matter how small, over the next day, you may not see immediate improvements. However, if you do this tomorrow, the next day and so on, over the period of a month, you will have made around 30 improvements in each area. Over a year, that’s 365 improvements in each area. There is very little we can do in life that 365 efforts at improving will not have some degree of success. And each minor improvement in each area will result in an increase in your level of happiness.

So, after reading this, I implore all of you… take a couple minutes out today and outline six simple tasks you can take to address the Pillars of Happiness. One task for each of the Six Pillars: Family, Friends, Wealth, Health, Profession, and Spirituality. Then, DO THOSE TASKS! I promise, a small effort in each area, over time, will have a dramatic impact on your ability to manifest your hopes and desires.

Alright, so you understand and believe in the Law of Attraction. You have read almost every book  you can find (and studied our blog of course) and are putting everything into practice. However, you have a spouse, who thinks this is all a “fake science” and refuses to “get on board” or support you in any way. In fact, from some of the stories I’ve heard, this is actually a better alternative. Some people will go out of their way to disrupt or be overtly uncooperative towards your own ability to practice. It is even looked down upon by various Christian groups as though it is some sort of “witchcraft”.

So, how do you handle this? To start with, you do it tactfully while employing subtle use of the Law of Attraction concepts you have come to love and trust.

I have a friend who, to protect the innocent, we will call Jake. Jake is a very smart guy, in fact, I’d go as far as to say he is a genius. Very analytical in his thinking. He works in accounting, so everything is black and white, or, better put, by the numbers. When talking with him, the subject came up about my expertise in the Law of Attraction. He, like most people first hearing of it, began asking a lot of questions. “What is the Law of Attraction”, “How does it work”, etc.

It did not take long to detect the sarcasm in his voice. He would respond with things like “Oh, it’s glorified praying then…” or “So, you expect me to believe that magnetic waves are flying around the universe, faster than light, and they are going to make me happy. My ‘vibrations’ attract things to me. Positive energy, Negative Energy… this sounds crazy.” As you can tell, we didn’t get off on the right foot. So, I took a deep breath and started a different way.

”Jake, you’re a smart guy, so instead of Question and Answers… let’s walk through a real-world scenario, and I’ll demonstrate some of the key principals. If it not something you agree with, then we need not discuss it further. Sound okay?”

Never backing down from a challenge, he eagerly accepted.

Here’s the scenario:

You and a coworker have just been told that your boss is retiring. Management has decided that one of you will be replacing him. A decision will be made over the next two weeks based heavily on the advice of your boss. In other words, his recommendation will most likely influence the final decision.

Your coworker is a very upbeat and positive person. He is probably going to go home tonight and look in a mirror, and say “I am the new Director of the Department. I am going to get this promotion.” You, however, are pessimistic. You think to yourself that, this is probably over and your coworker has it in the bag.

I look at Jake. Now, before I go further… who has the advantage so far?

“Simple, the coworker does. He’s got the right attitude.” Jake says.

“What does that have to do with anything?” I ask.

“Well, it’s no secret that having a positive attitude improves your odds. We see it in sports, we see it in business. Nobody wants to work with someone that is down in the dumps.” Jake explained. “I don’t really understand what your point is here, but being a positive person helps in most aspects. When you are positive, you try harder. When you are negative, you quit trying and then you lose.”

“Great!” I exclaim. “Now, let’s imagine that a friend of yours just explained that concept to you and you agree 100% with what they said. You realize you need to be more positive. Now, if you were giving advise to yourself about how to turn this attitude around, what would you tell him?”

“Well… that’s a good question.” Jake stated. “I think I would start by telling him that he needs be more positive.”

“What do you mean by that?” I ask.

“He needs to believe he can do it. He needs to close his eyes, and picture himself, as the boss. Once he sees it in his head, then maybe he can believe it’s possible. From there, he needs to constantly remind himself that he can do this to maintain his positivity.”

“Why is positivity important?” I inquired.

“Because people around you can read your vibe and, like a self fulfilling prophesy, they will treat you the way you expect.”

“Okay Jake… believe it or not, but you just gave me a GREAT lesson in the law of attraction. You already practice it, you just don’t realize it. Let’s look at what you said.”

I went on to explain the following to Jake:

Jake had stated that Positive Energy and Negative Energy “sounded crazy”. However, in his own words, he used “positivity” many times. As opposed to “negativity”. He admitted that to change the outcome, you needed to “be more positive”, or put differently, change your energy from negative to positive. There’s a reason we call it positive and negative. They are energies, we instinctively “detect” this, and therefore, we describe them in this fashion.

However, my favorite part of our conversation wasn’t on his reliance on “Positivity”, in was in fact a single word he used near the end of our conversation. If you remember earlier, Jake mocked the concept that “vibrations” can attract things to you. Yet, at the end of our conversation, when asking him why being positive was so important, his exact words were:

““Because people around you can read your vibe and, like a self fulfilling prophesy, they will treat you the way you expect.”

Wow.

So, people can read your “vibe” (short for VIBRATION?!) and, as a result, you will receive something similar to your vibe?

Jake was FLOORED. He couldn’t believe what he had said. I will tell you, that while Jake is still the ever inquisitive mind and critic, he has dramatically opened his mind to the benefits of what I am teaching. As he puts it, “I may not agree with it, but it’s clear it produces results.” Not a homerun as far as I’m concerned, but great progress! He appears to have moved from trying to “disprove” the concept to more of a “try to rationally explain” the process. A healthy step for anyone looking into the Law of Attraction. I can’t make anyone believe, nor do I want to attempt to. Instead, I want to start you on a discovery journey of your own where the answers you get are ones you found.

This isn’t a religion. This isn’t an exact science. But, its results are undeniable. Therefore, I encourage those with a scientific eye to delve into the science behind it. Just like my faith, I do not view science as an enemy, but a friend that will, one day, merge onto the same proof as my faith has held all along.

And, as a quick not to those dealing with religious pressures, remember this. Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and most other spiritual icons are quoted time and time again referring to the core principals of the law of attraction.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
Mark 9:23

“actions are judged by intentions, so each man will have what he intended.” – Mohammed

“Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “BE!” and it is! (The Quran 36:82)

Thanks everyone for reading. I love and appreciate all of you.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. I have to laugh because this is a phrase my father used all through my childhood to motivate me to keep going. However, when it comes to the law of attraction, it actually pings at some truth. The law of attraction, in it’s own actions is not difficult. In fact, when harmoniously performed, it should feel natural and energizing. But, we have environmental factors around us that often make this more difficult than it should be.

The Ego:

Your worst enemy when it comes to the law of attraction. The inner-voice that tries to get you to quit. The source of anger, jealousy, annoyance, and any of the negative emotions. In my eyes, the biggest challenge to successfully employing the principals of the Law of Attraction. But, let’s face it, it is not your only obstacle. 

Other People’s Ego:

Now this is a tricky topic, as often times, we too easily blame others for our failures. When we are angry, it is too easy to see someone else as the reason for our own failure. However, ironically, it is your own ANGER that is the problem, not the supposed “source” of that anger. You are the source of your own anger. Your ego is feasting on chaos around you to feed its ugly needs. However, there is a point when we need to identify “other” people as a source of concern.

The law of attraction is nurtured in a world of positivity. Good business people know this instinctively. When a team member is too negative, often pointing out problems vs. solutions, we eventually identify that the team may be better off without this person. Your life is no different. Negative influences, especially chronically powerful ones, will have a massive effect on your ability to stay positive.

So what are our choices? Notice here I stated the fact that there are a multitude of things that we can do. No one solution fits all situations. So, I will outline out some of the choices that we have.

1.) Share the wisdom: Often times, people who are negative are searching desperately for meaning in their own lives. The negativity is often a side-effect of their own insecurities. Sharing the wisdom you have learned of the Law of Attraction, living a positive life, and the benefits of love can help a lot of these people find light in a dark place. However, it is important, that you keep perspective here. The purpose of sharing this wisdom is not to solve YOUR problem (to make a negative person stop bothering you), but in fact, to selflessly HELP that person. In other words, if your words are not helping, back off. This is a process that takes time, and what negative people may need more than anything, is someone to work patiently with them over time.

2.) Limit your contact: If sharing the wisdom is not well received or not an option, perhaps you need to limit you contact with the person presenting the negativity in your life. Often times, when this may be a friend, an acquaintance, or distant family member, this may be possible. By limiting your contact, you can ensure that when you do need to face this person, you are positive enough to ensure their negativity does not damage your outlook.

3.) Exclude the person from your daily life: This is a drastic step, but there are many occasions where this may be the only option. People who try to tell you that you are not of worth, insult you regularly, and generally put you down are people that, no matter how hard you try, will affect you in some way. If this is a toxic relationship, there are times we need to just walk away and not look back.

Learning to tell the difference between different environments will help you better understand your own path to happiness. In the end, it is about your own path and how you achieve your own visions of your life. Happiness is out there for each and every one of us, if we are ready to seek it out.

Bless you all. I appreciate you.

Life is relative, and so are our problems. In my world, the worry of being late on a bill might cause me the same amount of stress as someone having lost a cherished pet. A child in school may feel overwhelmed because a friend is ignoring him or her as we feel if we are fired from our only job. Relativity means that no matter the issue, it is what we make of it.

Many of us, in our childhood, had events that molded us into who we are today. Often times, these are not pleasant memories. Perhaps as a child, you were abused or mistreated. Perhaps you experienced a tragedy that you carry with you to this day. We also know (or possibly are ourselves) a person who experienced the “perfect” childhood. We can easily point to very successful people who had very supportive parents and family, which we think “obviously” meant they were destined to success.

RESENTMENT

I often hear the resentment people have towards those who are successful. This comes in many forms, but can easily be identified by statements like:

“Oh, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” or “She wouldn’t be where she is if rich Mommy or Daddy didn’t make a few calls…”

We must ensure that we do not fall into this trap, because when we make statements like this, we are creating an equal “reaction” inside of our head. When we point out that someone was “born with a silver spoon in their mouth”, what we are actually saying is “I was born with challenges they never had”. In other words, you are setting yourself up to be less “fortunate” than they are. You are in fact, not casting judgment on them, you are in fact casting a sentence of misfortune on yourself. 

Maybe we should learn from this situation instead…

When we look at people that had the “perfect childhood” there is a clear connection with successful endeavors. We all know the people, they have the perfect parents, the perfect family, and they have the perfect jobs, living the perfect life. We can easily say that because of their childhood, they were given advantages in life (that we weren’t given). While most people use this logic as a justification and/or an excuse to explain away their failures, we instead need to invoke the “Power of Now”.

Our past, our childhood are nothing but memories in our head. If I took a person with a “perfect” childhood, and a person with a traumatic childhood, and stood them next to each other, the differences of their pasts are scientifically identical. They are nothing more than electrical impulses stored in their brains. Right at this moment, NOW, there is no difference in their capabilities. It is just that one will draw strength from a “memory” while the other will draw an excuse for failure, also from a memory.

So, what can we do?

To understand what we should do, we need one more piece of knowledge… If you PRETEND or IMAGINE something, then REMEMBER that imagined scenario… physiologically speaking, there is NO DIFFERENCE between a REAL MEMORY and an IMAGINED MEMORY.

Let me say that again: If you imagine something or if it really happened… your brain stores it exactly the same way. It is you who chooses to empower (or disempower) a memory.

So, let’s say that you had a difficult childhood. Instead of empowering those memories, sit down, and IMAGINE the childhood you wish you had experienced. Or, more importantly, the childhood you would have needed in order to be the person you wish to be today…. IMAGINE it in GREAT detail. Make the memories as real as you can. Who were your friends, what did you do, feel the emotions of having gotten to relive your childhood, the way it SHOULD have been.

As you do this more and more, you will find it addicting. Whenever you feel down, or low, go back, imagine another GREAT day from your childhood. And, you will find that the feelings will  translate to positivity and motivation in your current activities. In fact, these are the same emotional responses received by “that other person” we discussed earlier…. the one that had the “Perfect” childhood.

Now, once we have mastered this process… it doesn’t take long to realize that the sky is the limit. Not only can we “undo” our damage, we can start to give ourselves the tools we need to face our daily challenges. For example, most children learn as part of growing up, that turning the light off isn’t as scary as we thought. However, this lesson is often learned by experience. Someone, in their past… made them turn off the light. They experienced an evening of fear, but realized… in the end, there was nothing to be afraid of. Now, imagine the person who never had anyone make them turn off the light. Let’s say they grew up not having experienced this… and might still sleep with a light on in some way.

Meditation, concentration, and imagination can artificially introduce these “experiences” into our lives. This is a technique used by hypnotherapy for decades, even centuries. We call it “suggestion”. We implant memories (suggestions) for all sorts of things. For example, if someone is trying to stop smoking, we might suggest that every time they pick up a cigarette, they feel nausea. This can be from an implanted memory of getting so sick from smoking in their past. Like if you have ever gotten drunk, and could not ever bring yourself to drink that specific drink again.

All in all, this is another tool in your Law of Attraction belt to help you get further. Your past is a blank canvas. Look around at the people who have managed to reach success in ways you wish to do yourself. Now ask yourself, what motivated them to achieve this? What things in their past gave them the “edge”? Now, copy it. Sit down, meditate, and give yourself every advantage you can.

Bless you all. I appreciate you.
