Law of Attraction & Negative Affirmations

Alex and I traveled to new Mexico today to speak to a group of real estate agents about how to get into Inspired Action. The event went fabulously because we pre paved it with our positive expectations and words of affirmation.

We were flying Southwest Airlines home which means we needed to check in early if we wanted to choose great seats.  When we arrived at the airport I jokingly said to alex, ”Ouch!  We forgot to check in early.  So we are going to be crammed into the back of the plane!”

To our delight we were some of the first passengers to check in and got an A boarding pass. But our flight was massively delayed. We decided to sit in the cafe and do work on our laptops while waiting for our plane to arrive. After working in a trance for a few hours I look at my clock and was shocked to realize that our flight was leaving in 20 minutes!  We jumped up from our seats and literally ran to our gate knowing that most airlines close the boarding process 15 minutes before the plane is scheduled to leave. To our chagrin everyone was already on the plane and my negative affirmation came true.

The moral of the story?  The universe wants to please you. It wants you to live life exactly as you please. Which means you posses the free will to screw yourself over if you so choose.

Be careful what you affirm because it’s going to happen.

The Prison You Create With Your Words

This week I’ve noticed that my clients make unconditional statements that trap them in a reality they don’t want.

One said, “I’m non committal” This is a false statement. You aren’t anything until you declare it. You might have moments when you can’t decide and then there are other times when you can. A more powerful way to say this is, “Right now I seem to be having troubles deciding. But I know that my lack of clarity will give way to clarity and again. In the mean time I’m simply going to be open to all the aspects of life that will come to help me choose.”

Another said, “I just can’t” Totally false. It’s not that you can’t. It is that you won’t. Better to be honest, “Right now I don’t wan to to do this. I know it’s important but I just don’t feel like doing anything about it. I’ve been in this place before an I know that my inspiration will return and I will finally get into action. If not, I will simply recognize that I don’t want to take the action and cancel my promise to do so.”

Someone said, “I don’t do that” Not true. You don’t want to do that. Its not that you don’t, as it you can’t. It is that you won’t as in you don’t want to.

So often our language implies that there are forces greater then ourselves dictating our choices and behavior. Sorry. Not true. The responsibility for you life lies squarely on your shoulders. Enjoy that power.

Why Feeling Good Now Is Critical

Here’s a great quote from Abraham on why feeling good now is important.

“The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you’re reaching for more.”

— Abraham

The Law of Attraction Can Work For You

A lot of people tell me, “Matthew, the law of attraction doesn’t seem to work anymore for me.” I know that there are a lot of things happening that make people think it’s not working.

The first factor is the economy. A few years back, when the economy was absolutely on fire, and everything was easy and just flowing, you could easily make money. You could take on new projects, make things happen. I mean, the optimism was off the charts. The ability to make things happen was spectacular. That was also a perfect time for that movie, “The Secret,” to come out because it really gave the illusion that you could be anyone and produce results through your thinking.

Conversely, now we’re in a time where people are a lot more skeptical. There’s a lot more fear that is in our environment, and you need to take care of your inner world in order to produce the results that you want. Things don’t come as easily now. The law of attraction still works, absolutely.

You didn’t really need to have your other emotions perfectly in line when the economy was amazing, but now you do. You need to get yourself into a place of optimism, joy, and enthusiasm. You have to. And so, I request that you watch some of my videos, and read some of my other blog posts, and learn some of the techniques and tactics that I give you to get your emotions in the right place. Once you get your emotions into a place where you feel great, then good stuff happens, regardless of what’s going on in the economy.

The law of attraction absolutely can work for you. In a down economy, in an up economy, no matter what’s happening, but you must be able to control you emotional state, and stay in a positive and powerful place, or it’s not going to work.

Why Success Will NOT Bring Happiness

Worried

What you had envisioned success to be, isn’t at all what success actually is.  Success is like standing in a hammock on one leg juggling twelve balls.  Now that you’ve accomplished this incredible feet, it takes a lot to keep it going.

People who are already successful once believed that success would bring happiness.  Happiness in the form of acknowledgement, appreciation, victory, money, power, self esteem etc.  Now that you are successful and have received the accolades, you realize, it doesn’t make you happy.

In fact, success often brings even more negativity into your life.  More people want something from you and demand your time.  You have more responsibilities and accountabilities.  To be successful often means you have created something that needs to be protected.  Even worst, you may be among the many successful people who face the disastrous notion that what you have created isn’t even something you want.

To create happiness in your life takes a different set of success tools.  The target is different.  It’s not longer material success or accomplishment.  The new target is emotional success.  This is the next domain of success.  Once you realize that success does not make you happy, you suddenly find yourself on journey.

Nothing outside of you will bring happiness.  Nothing out in the world will ever make you happy.  Happiness is both an art and a skill.  Your mind, which I lovingly call, The Drunk Monkey is not designed for happiness.  In fact, I’ll leave you with this thought, “Anything other then happiness and peace is just a state of mind.”
