The Law of Attraction is the reason for everything that is occurring, has occurred, and will occur in our lives. If you're living a life that is not what you'd like it to be it's because of your thoughts. Do you really at a core level believe in yourself and your right to live the life of your dreams? If you're not currently living that life the answer is no.

Have you ever met a person who is living the life of their dreams? It may have been a server in a restaurant, perhaps a tour guide, or an accountant - you will know immediately when you meet them because they radiate joy, they're an absolute pleasure to be around. Do you see the answer here? They're living their "true vision for their life". They are in vibrational resonance with what they are attracting. What they are putting out is what they are getting in return. Why would anyone not choose to live their life like this?

In 1989 Marsha Sinetar wrote a book entitled "Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow - Discovering Your Right Livelihood" which I definitely recommend to you, can it possibly be that easy? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Once you are living your true vision for your life it's like floating on a raft downstream. You will attract from the Universe all you need effortlessly. Your positive emotions are the key ingredient in this recipe for life. If you will listen to your heart and focus on how you are feeling emotionally you will be allowing the Law of Attraction to do its thing. If you find yourself in a situation where you're experiencing anxiety, anger, or stress you are not supposed to be doing it - stop! Are there times when we need to do something we don't want to do? Of course but that is not what I'm talking about here I'm asking you to focus on identifying your "true vision for your life" it may not come to you in an instant but I promise you if you make the effort, it will become apparent to you.

This may sound easier said than done. How do I determine what I am passionate about and what my true vision for my life is? Well first of all you really do know but you've probably suppressed it. When you're sitting alone daydreaming, what do you daydream about? What is it you see yourself doing? What do you do in your spare time? What are you doing when time just seems to fly by? Keep a journal and record these ideas and thoughts.

Do not pay any attention to thoughts that tell you you're being impractical. Don't listen to "helpful" friends and family who tell you "you can't do that". Not only can you do it, it's exactly what the Universe is telling you you're supposed to be doing.

I am not recommending you quit your job and go on a spiritual journey; though many have and are living the life of their dreams. When you discover your desires, your passion, your true vision begin to take action and move toward it and never look back.

                Have you ever been driving down the highway and begun to daydream? As you envision your destination, where you're staying, what you'll be doing, you realize you've driven the last 10 miles and don't remember it. Maybe you've been standing in the shower and all of a sudden you receive a solution to a problem that's plagued you for days. When you are performing a task that is so automatic that you are mentally disengaged from what you're doing you are probably experiencing the Theta Brainwave State. The brainwork that can take place during the Theta State is often free flowing and occurs without censorship or guilt. It is typically a very positive mental state.

The Theta Brainwave State occurs between 4Hz - 8Hz and is characterized by deep relaxation, meditation and vivid imagery. Theta is also the state at which communication with the subconscious mind is most insightful.

So why am I telling you this? What does this have to do with envisioning your desire? Everything!

You see if your conscious mind is in the way, telling you you're full of bologna when you repeat your affirmations, they're probably not going to have much effect. I wish it was different but... it isn't.

The Theta Brainwave State occurs naturally upon going to sleep at night and again when awakening in the morning. As you drift off to sleep you move from Beta to Alpha to Theta to Delta and when you awaken you go through the same sequence in reverse. This is a natural time to repeat your affirmations because they will be most effective.

If you practice meditation (if you don't you should) repeating your affirmation while meditating will also be a most effective time.

As I stated earlier, you must be in a state where you're communicating directly with the subconscious.

For those of you that want to speed things along, there are audio programs that you listen to with headphones called binaural beat recordings that will move you from Beta Brainwave to Alpha to Theta. These recordings can also contain subliminal recording of your affirmations so you can sit and relax and do work in months that might take years without the recordings.

While repeating your affirmations you must also envision what your life will be like when you have achieved your desire. This also is much easier in the Theta Brainwave state as you can more easily achieve vivid imagery in this state. Literally try to visualize yourself doing the things you desire, having the things you desire, and living the life you desire.

Until you have reprogrammed your mind to believe that you can have your desire through envisioning it in Theta, it will remain only a dream. And this is where that reprogramming happens.

        One of the great benefits of the Law of Attraction is that you get more of what you show gratitude for. Whether you are grateful for the big things or small doesn't matter. What does matter is being grateful.

Each day we're given so many opportunities to be grateful. Our morning meal, the beautiful view on the way to work, a kiss from our children and spouse, a good friend, help from a co-worker. When was the last time you took a moment to appreciate all of the blessings in your life? Because when you show gratitude for these things you will attract more of the same.

These feelings of gratitude bring many positive emotions into your life. These positive emotions give you a more positive attitude. This positive attitude will continue to attract more positive experiences into your life.

Here are some Practical Steps to Practicing Gratitude

-Start a gratitude journal. Write as many things down from you day as you can recall. What works for most people is to say "thank you" for everything they encounter each day, for example a sunrise/sunset, frost on the trees (especially when the sun is shining), food, shelter, warm homes and offices, clothing, colleagues, work/jobs.

-Do a gratitude alphabet exercise. In your gratitude journal, write the letters from A - Z. As fast as you can, write down I am grateful for ????? starting with the letter A and going through the alphabet. For example: I am grateful for apples, I am grateful for bananas, I am grateful for carrots, and so on until you finish all the letters.

Practice an "Act of Kindness" everyday

Look for ways you can genuinely praise your partner, your child, your colleague, your employees, the person who serves you - waitress, mail carrier, paper delivery person, police officers.

Thank God for sustaining your life by providing food, air, and water.
