Firstly, the law of attraction is about seeing whether you can discern what it is that you truly want.
There was a survey carried out in Britain in the 1950’s that was re-run recently. On comparing Britain now to 50 years ago it showed how dramatically our ‘external’ living conditions have improved. Now almost every single home has a fridge, T.V., etc. compared to just a few in the 1950s. It also found that despite our increased external affluence that overall; we did not rate ourselves as any happier than we were 50 years ago and that a majority today rated their quality of life as lower levels than people did 50 years ago. It also surveyed children, they were asked to rate their contentment with their peer relationships and from a level of 70% in the 1950s this had declined to 43% today.
So what is it that I truly want for myself?
Is it these external things? The house, job, fridge etc.? If so why aren’t we happier now than 50 years ago?
Yes, we need the basics and attaining the basics makes a difference. However, once we have gone from survival to being comfortable then it seems we can earn 3, 5 or 7 times our salary without it making any difference at all to us.
Ask yourself: What is it that is of most importance to me? What do I value the most? Reflect in silence on this. Usually what we find as we go deeper is that it isn’t the designer clothes, jewellery etc. rather it is peace, love and happiness that we are looking for.
Ask yourself: What is it that I want in terms of relationships? What kind of attention and attraction do I want? What is it that I want for the world? Usually what we come down to as we go deeper into these questions are the key values that are at the heart of human life. Respect, freedom, love, being listened to etc.
We need to identify the answers to these questions for ourselves, as if we can identity them we are more likely to achieve them. Also, only when I have my aim will I see the way.
