The secret Law of Attraction? The Law of Attraction is said by many to be a force that is within each and every one of us. It is a force that can attract those things we desire. Thoughts are energy that can attract, so whatever you're thinking about, can come to you...

It's a simple method; one that anyone can master, requiring the visualisation of a set goal and positive mental attitude. You will learn to focus positive thought energy towards your goals. You will learn to be grateful for what you already have and minimise negative thoughts that only attract more negativity. By learning to achieve the above, you will find that more and more of your dreams become reality. The more positive you are, the more attractive to success you become and the faster this will work.

Positive Mental Attitude

Positive or negative; both are vibrations of energy frequencies that we radiate that not only people, but also other things around us can react to - or be drawn to.

People who tend to be negative, seem to attract more negativity, whilst the people who are positive, attract positivity to them.

Both positivity and negativity can affect us on an emotional level. Negatives bring us down while positives are uplifting. The more positive you can be, the more it attracts positivity, that's not just in this particular instance, but it works in your everyday life as well.

We've all felt the office grump's arrival at work and the once light atmosphere becomes down and dowdy - as do the people. They will even begin to migrate away from that person, some without even realising why.

Conversely, an upbeat person can bring out all the positives and the others around want to be near, to share in that joy and positivity.

Smile, be positive and nine times out of ten, the people you come into contact with will react positively in return, which is what you are going to be doing here. A positive attitude is contagious attracting further positivity and so bringing you closer to your goals.

This is not a magic trick, but the utilisation of one of our most underused abilities.

Visualising goals to make them happen.

Visualise your goals, focus positive thoughts on them and there's no reason why you won't achieve those goals.

Step One

Learn to be grateful for what you have and don't continue to harbour any resentment you may feel with your current situation. Negative emotions like resentment, make the flow of positive energy you need for the next step all the more difficult to achieve. You may have credit card bills, mortgage repayments, low income - even all three, but you're about to do something about that.

Before you can move on however, you need to be comfortable about where you are now. If your situation is grave, be grateful for knowing that it will soon be over and you will be moving on to a new and better phase.

We can all be guilty of blaming other things for the situation we find ourselves in, but in many cases the choice was ours to make, even though often we didn't feel that way at the time. Now of course the situation is about to change and this time, you will be steering towards a goal, rather than simply going with the flow, with little or no control over the direction you maybe moving in.

Step Two

Choose your goal; something positive to focus on and set yourself a date that you'd like to achieve it.

Your goal maybe one of financial gain, a higher position at work, a new house - whatever. Focus only on the goal you intend to achieve, not on the reason behind wanting to achieve it.

For example, focusing upon a sum of money to clear the loans, bills, mortgage etc, is not a good way of going about things.

These loans, credit cards - even the mortgage, represent a burden and are therefore negatives, despite the fact that the goal is not. However, take the negatives out of the equation and you have a positive goal to aim for.

Equally, you shouldn't focus on specifics. You shouldn't for instance focus on a goal of winning the lottery, even though from your perspective, it's the most logical source of that kind money. Just focus on the sum as the goal. Where it comes from may well surprise you as money can come from the most unlikely places.

Indeed, when making the goal a new house for you or your family, you shouldn't focus on a specific house, but build your own - in theory anyway. You'll know you'll want a certain number of bedrooms, perhaps a particular configuration. You may have even seen the house before, but to focus on that specific one would be unwise. This is because when you have the finances available to make the purchase, the house you have been focusing on may not be available and even if it is, might not be what you were hoping for after all.

It's best to focus on the layout, the appearance. Perhaps you have a penchant for a Tudor façade, or stone with lead-light windows. Whatever you preference, that's what you should be aiming for. There's nothing to say that cannot change. After all, that's the beauty of this - goals just like tastes can change.

Most importantly, you have to believe your goal is achievable.

Most people would like to aim high - for the stars even; to be millionaires by the end of the week - if not sooner, but nine times out of ten, their rationality takes over and causes them to doubt that it will work, so they tend to start off with smaller goals, working their way up with each subsequent goal.

Such is my advice for you too.

The two steps above, are the most basic terms I can think of to illustrate how simple the Law of Attraction is.

Step Three

The next stage is focus.

My suggestion is first to write down your goal.

Writing down the goal has two effects:

1. The first is to reinforce it in your mind.
2. The second is to bring it from your mind into reality.

The written word adds a lot more strength to a thought and this will help you when using the Law of Attraction.

When writing down your goal, equate it to a monetary value, combining value plus description - for instance:

'My goal is to own an MGA roadster worth in excess of £25,000'.

'My goal is to own a business with a monthly profit margin in excess of £10,000'.

When you're fixing your sights on financial gain, often the Law of Attraction shows you the way - either by showing you ideas, opportunities or ways to take you towards your goal. It could just dump a fortune in your lap, but more often than not, it will show you how to do it for yourself.

So it's wise to consider your goals, but that shouldn't put you off aiming for whatever you want. Just be aware that bigger goals may take longer to achieve.

If this all sounds a little too simple to work, remember that just because something is simple does not mean that it is not effective. You only have to look at the staple or the paper clip. Two very simple and very effective ideas that have been unbelievably successful for many decades.

The issue with the Law of Attraction is that it seems to many that if something is that simple, it can't possibly work, but I disagree. For some reason, we have an innate need to overcomplicate things in our lives and when something simple comes along, our first reaction is disbelief.

"That's far too easy, it can't possibly work..."

Try telling the inventor of sticky tape that.

Besides, when something is that simple and costs nothing, what have you got to lose?

Absolutely nothing.

Jim Rohm was a highly successful business man, entrepreneur and motivational speaker who wanted to share his philosophy with everyone, believing that anyone could do what he did - given the chance and the methods he used.

Granted, his methods were somewhat different to this, but you'd be surprised how many places his methods and the Law of Attraction overlapped.

For a start, he said that you attract success by your attitude and philosophy. If things aren't going right for you, he suggested that instead of getting all negative and blaming the situation or the people and bosses you work for, perhaps you should look at yourself.

Ask yourself, "what can I do to make this better?"

The law of Attraction helps you to make this change in your attitude; your philosophy. It makes you think about what you want to achieve and also gets into your subconscious, allowing your true nature to speak to your conscious self and push you in the direction you need to go.

While this is happening, your change in nature, philosophy and attitude attracts more of the people and situations to you - or helps towards putting you there, so that you can be in the right place at the right time.

So in my words, why not indeed?

There's no reason why you can't do this

The fact that this is often referred to as the secret Law of Attraction, is not - in my opinion - because it's a secret but because even when people know about the Law of Attraction, they still can't believe something this simple works.

So they do nothing, while those who are prepared to give it a go, try it, use it and never look back.

Why shouldn't you be one of those people?
