When we talk about the Law of Attraction, we tend to use a lot of definitions as to how things ‘should’ be in order to make the best use of natural principles. For example, although we assert that nothing is either good or bad, we do say that we must keep our energy levels and thought vibrations high so that we may attract like thoughts and vibrations. Similarly, we say that we must focus on what we want, rather than what we don’t want, so that we may attract more of that which we are focused on (because what we focus on is what expands in our lives).
With all this attention on maintaining states and thought patterns that serve us and help us achieve our goals, we must also remember to allow things to flow with their natural rythms.
It is actually possible to be so rigid in our thoughts or attempts to maintain a positive state that we stop the flow of energy, thereby keeping from us that which we are trying to attract. For instance, if we are constantly monitoring our emotions so that we ‘purge’ anything negative, we may be blocking the natural flow of an emotion that needs to be processed, such as when we are naturally saddened by the death of a loved one. In a similar way, if we hold grudges against others then no matter how much work we do on ourselves in other areas, the resentment constitutes an energy block – or wall – that we have installed and which will impede the flow of all things good to the extent that it exists. These are sometimes called blind spots, and can be readily identified by noticing when you feel uptight, or when you frequently experience the same emotion or thought pattern. Your pet peeves, for example, are good clues as to your emotional blocks, and if explored and released can leave room for bursts of new growth, thus paving a new pathway for wonderful things to happen, where previously there was only a dead-end. As with everything else about Law of Attraction and personal development, the answers are inside you. Go explore!
I found this all a little confusing until I remembered that in ANY industry or subject, we find the same phenomenon. Whether you are studying Law of Attraction, health and fitness, or almost any other ‘How To’ subject, there will be conflicting opinions from ‘experts.’ The fact is that there are many ways to make something ‘work’, and I think this is reflected in the many different strategies you will find to accomplish a given objective. Each person can only speak from their own expererience and perspective, and the more you learn, the more you can apply to your own life and create your own unique strategy using what works for you. Of course we need to learn from the trials and errors of others so that we can shorten our own learning curve, but we are all different in our likes and dislikes, schedules and tolerances, etc….thus, what will work best for us is usually a combination of techniques as unique as we are. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if we follow someone else’s strategy blindly, we may actually fare worse than if we experiment and try and find a combination that works best for us. Because we are unique, what worked wonders for someone else may not be best for us at all. Do not lose sight of the truth that whatever strategy you choose in any endeavour, it is the back-up traits that you bring to the game that will help you win – traits such as commitment, consistency, integrity, desire for growth and learning, and ability to visualize the end result – NOT the strategy itself. With this in mind, choose your strategy/ies, commit yourself, and change as you feel the need to make adjusmtents. As Brian Tracy says, you cannot adjust the direction of the arrow until you launch it!
