And yet people who use the principles behind things like the law of attraction, conscious creation and positive thinking will tell you that it really can work for you, because it worked for them.
There can be little doubt that a person’s attitude, no matter what happens in his or her life, can make the difference between a happy person and a person who’s not happy.
We’ve all known people who seem to have the worst luck, who still seem happy. No matter what happens to them, they see the bright side and somehow they turn out okay.
And we probably all know people who seem to have everything going for them, but are miserable. We can’t understand how he can be so unhappy when he has so many good things in his life.
This is a case of attracting your primary dominating thoughts.
Attracting abundance requires a new state of mind. Like the person with the bad luck who stays positive and happy no matter what happens, you must start to see the positive side to things. You must believe that positive things can and will happen to you.
Moreover, as Bob Proctor explains in his chapter on Grattitude, you must believe that positive things are happening to you by being grateful for what you already have.
In contrast, most people focus on lack, and continue to receive even more lack.
Even the person with horrible luck has good things happen. Those people who have trained themselves to see the positive things even in events that most of us would dismiss as completely negative. This focus on the positive allows positive energy to flow to that person, even in less-than-great situations.
A person who believes that, no matter what, will never have enough money will probably always be plagued by financial problems because that’s what they believe. Their thoughts will attract similar energy.
But for the person who shifts their thinking to decide that they want abundance, and begins to believe that it’s possible will attract a different kind of energy.
If you think abundant thoughts and learn to believe them, then you can attract prosperity.
