Some Common Issues with the Law of Attraction you want to Avoid

by Colin Joss

There is a wonderful book you should check out called Your Invisible Power. It was written by Genevieve Behrend. She makes some very powerful statements in that book. One that really stands out is the believe that once you are able to understand the power of the Law of Attraction you can start to visualize your goals. This is going to help you to attract those things in life that you want for yourself.

What is important to understand is that we all have energy that affects what we do. You have to make a choice though as to if you are going to allow that energy to be something very positive or very negative for you. No one else gets to make this choice for you.

Some people find that the Law of Attraction is to difficult to control so the give up right away. They would rather let things continue to just happen to them than to work for what they really want to see take place. Yet for those that are dedicated to sticking with it, they can really make it work for them. They can find those positive forces of energy out there that will bring good things their way. In order to do this though you have to be able to avoid some of the most common pitfalls.

1. What is your goal?

In real life, identifying a goal is not as easy as it sounds. The goals we set also depend on our age and stage in life. Also, just as our lives are constantly evolving and changing, so are our goals.

For children, reaching for goals can sometimes be unrealistic. They tend to want things that they see other happy people with. They get the concept that to really be happy they will need to have those things as well. As a child matures though and becomes a teenager they will see the world differently. They do strive to have things in life they want though such as a good job and a nice car. This is often a time in their life when they are attracted to people romantically that they want to share their own life with.

For teenagers things change a bit. They realize that everything out there costs money so the idea of getting a job is very real to them. They also want to find a person to love that is going to be a part of all they do with their future.

Those that are up in age have hopefully lived a very long and happy life with the Law of Attraction. As a result they are reaching for peace for other people they see. They also want to be as healthy as possible to enjoy the rest of their lives.

A middle aged person would wish for peace of mind and some leisure to enjoy the fruits of their labor

Too many people will become overwhelmed by what has to take place in order for them to reach a certain goal. That can result in negative energy surrounding them as they are afraid of failing. Yet once you start to write down the smaller pieces you have to accomplish it does get easier, and you will find more positive energy coming your way.

2.List the stepping stones you will need to cross to reach your goal.

This is easier said than done. The stepping stones could easily change with changing circumstances around us, circumstances over which we have no control.

If you fail to focus on your goals you aren’t going to benefit from the Law of Attraction. This is one of the biggest pitfalls when it comes to applying the elements of the Law of Attraction. Even when you do have plenty of positive energy, it is possible to get side tracked. You need to realize this and strive to always have ways that bring you back to your goals. There are going to be things in your life you can’t control that may result in those goals changing, but you still need to focus on them no matter what shape they happen to take.

3. Are you focusing enough on your goal?

We are not living in a static environment, where we can single-mindedly focus on our goals in life. Our focus often gets side tracked by events happening around us - either to us directly or to others who are close to us. We may set our sights on a brilliant career. However if family misfortune or ill-health should happen, our focus on building our career would need to shift.

Everyone is going to have times when they have positive energy and then times when they have negative energy. While the overall goal should be to generate positive energy all the time it isn’t going to happen. No one has the power to do that all the time. Pay close attention to what your sources of negative energy are though so you can remove them from your life.

5. Failing to Recognize your Role with Others

5. You are not alone!

We also have to remember that our actions are going to influence and impact others that are around us. What type of energy do you want to be giving to them? Always keep this in mind as it will help you to be a better person in the overall scheme of things.

It can be difficult at times though as you may not have all of the pieces to make everything fit. So you have a choice though to put as much of that puzzle together as you can and see how it materializes. You also have the choice to let negativity take over and decide the puzzle isn’t worth making as you already know there are pieces missing.

You have a clear image, but not all the pieces. It is difficult to put the puzzle together. Knowing you do not have all the pieces in itself is a deterrent to completing the puzzle with the pieces you have

What this finished puzzle looks like for you though is really going to depend on your energy. If it is positive then it will likely look better than what you earlier imagined. If you see faded areas then you need to work harder to be able to get that very vivid image to become reality.

We can sit around all day thinking how much easier it would be to start out with all the pieces of the puzzle. Add in the time to put them together and the instructions so they fit right would be nice too. Yet you have to take responsibility for all of these areas as they aren’t just going to happen for you. Life can go by very rapidly and the longer you allow it to do so without having control over it the more disappointed you will become. Work to block out those distractions out there and stay focused on what you wish to achieve.

Winston Churchill said it the best when he wrote that all of us will find many wonderful opportunities in our lives. However, they will stumble over it and not realize it for what it is. So are you going to be one that gets up and walks away or that takes the time to really look at what is right in front of you?

How your own life plays out is entirely up to you. There is certainly plenty of negative energy out there that you can sit back and allow to swallow you whole. You can also choose to fight for some positive energy though and to make the most out of your life. It can be a long journey for those that are absorbed in nothing but negative energy. Those that surround themselves with the positive though can enjoy life to the fullest. In order to do this successfully though you have to be realistic. You have to be willing to see what is right in front of you and transform it into something good.

We’ve just got to dive into life, come up every so often to sight our goal. Every so often we’ve also got to dive under the waves to sight the rocks and steer a course round them.

Joan Curcio has a very good outlook on this concept. She says you should jump right in and take a look around. Don’t be afraid to get dirty or to take changes. If you are willing to reach for what you want then you can make it happen.
