Imagine if we could travel back in time 300 years, but we couldn't tell anyone we were from the future. We could tell them that we had a vision. The vision was that metal could float on water. Not only could it float, but we could put tonnes and tonnes of it together and have people on it and it would float across the Atlantic Ocean. You would be laughed at. You would be ridiculed and you might even be beaten to death because everyone would think you're crazy. If you survived the first explanation, you wouldn't survive the second one that you would share - Again tonnes of metal with levers and extremely fast turning windmills, again with people inside, but this time, it could fly, like a bird, across the Atlantic Ocean.
There was no way in 1714 that the majority of people could comprehend what we take for granted today. The dreamers would have been very careful what they shared for fear of ridicule.
There are things that we laugh at today that is exactly like the scenario above. A book/video came out 8 years ago releasing the big secret, appropriately titled "The Secret". In essence, there is nothing secret about it. It gives us insight into this principle called "The Laws of Attraction". I meet people all of the time who believe that there is some truth to this secret law, but yet don't practice it.
You want to know the heavy stuff now? Not only does it work, science has now proven why it works.
Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" was the first book that I read that talked about the power of thought and the manifestation of ideas. Then a really smart guy told me to study quantum physics. That was tough because I'm no scientist and this stuff is really complicated. What I learned about quantum physics is that the biggest argument physicists had was whether electrons moved in waves or as particles. Both sides had proven both hypotheses. So who was right? Recently, a really smart scientist finally ended the battle by proving the electrons moved depending on the way the physicist thought they should move - Laws of Attraction.
The power of thought is so important. But you need to do three more things to make things manifest.
I'll give you a personal example of how we practiced the Law of Attraction and didn't even know it. In 2003, we wanted to upgrade our house. We had visited way too many houses and nothing fit what we were looking for. Then it hit me! Nothing fit because we hadn't put our goal to paper. At that time, writing goals on paper seemed like a good thing. So my wife and I sat down and drew a one page blueprint of our next house. We included descriptions of the backyard, descriptions of the neighborhood, an attached apartment and even the number of rooms in the house. We dated it January 18 and we filed the paper away and literally forgot about it. 6 months later, we had found a house that we really liked, so we bought it. In our move, we were throwing out accumulated crap that we no longer needed. Then we came across a piece of paper dated January 18. I forgot about that paper. Didn't even remember having done it. And yes, it was the blueprint of our home we were about to move into.
I tell you this story because since then, I have had many run-ins with this irrefutable law and I'm learning to harness it better all of the time. When it was time to buy our next house, we wrote out three pages, with very specific details and how much money we were willing to give up for it. Do you know how many other houses we visited before visiting our latest dream home? Answer-none. Hopefully you get the rest of that story.
So if you want something really bad, here's what you need to do:
1. Visualize having it. Feel it, smell it, enjoy it.
2. Write down what you really, really want.
3. Also write down what you're willing to give up to get it. (Really important)
4. The hardest one of all... You need to take action!
If you want a new house, but you don't go looking for one, you won't manifest your thoughts. Laws of Attraction work but only if you work.
Our two houses we bought using this technique were both bought through private deals. How many agents would have brought us these houses? None!!! We had to do the work. In 2003, we were buying the newspaper every weekend. In 2011, we were on Kijiji and For Sale By Owner sites every day.
In 300 years, everyone is going to take this stuff for granted. You won't be here but you can have everything you ever wanted while you were.
Have a magnetic Monday!
