The Progressive Action Factor
Why is it that some people get better results more consistently with Law of Attraction principles than others? Even in cases where one gives several people of equal ability the exact same principle to use in their lives, the results that each participant gets will often be very different. In these cases it obviously isn’t the principle at fault or all of the participants would find it ineffective. And it can’t be the ability of the individuals at fault because we have said that results vary even where everyone involved is at the same ability level. So what is it that causes the varying results in such cases? We believe that it is something we call the Progressive Action Factor.
In any endeavour in life, the best way to get reliable and consistent results is to master something small and then progressively expand the sphere of action as your skills, confidence and application grows.
For example, if you wanted to be a world class cello player but you had never played before in your life you wouldn’t start out by booking a concert hall where you could perform. Instead you would learn technique and practice scales, then move onto the simplest of tunes before gradually progressing to more challenging material. By focusing on the smallest, most immediately relevant action and taking it, your skills would increase in the most efficient way possible. And yes, one day you could well be good enough to perform in a concert hall.
Unfortunately, many people who learn and use Law of Attraction principles completely ignore this Progressive Action Factor. Instead of starting out small – by learning how to manifest a parking space or improve a sometimes patchy relationship, for example – they set out to manifest a lottery jackpot or the starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster. Yes, those things are sometimes possibilities (the actor Jim Carrey used the Law of Attraction to make his first $20 million in Hollywood and there are people who claim to have won lottery jackpots with Law of Attraction technique) but unless you have developed mastery in the small things first and progressed gradually to the more ambitious desires, you aren’t likely to fare any better than an over-ambitious cello student booking a concert hall appearance on Day 1.
To make sure that you are taking the Progressive Action Factor into consideration, we advise all Law of Attraction students to follow a handful of simple rules:
1 – View your journey through life as if you were on a stairway to heaven, and take just one step at a time. Start where you are and focus on the most immediate task possible, and don’t try taking the next step until you have developed mastery in your current situation. For example, if you want to achieve the body of your dreams but you are currently a couch potato and habitually eat junk foods, focus on moving around more and adopting a healthier diet to increase your energy levels and improve your health and fitness.
2 – Be sure to make every mundane effort possible as well as employing Law of Attraction principles. Exercising more and eating healthier foods are mundane activities (or a form of lesser magick as you will recall from our discussion about The Accidental Magickian) but they are necessary to achieve success. By all means visualize having a healthier body and use other Law of Attraction principles, but don’t expect them to work without you putting in at least some mundane effort along the way. The universe helps those who demonstrate a willingness to help themselves.
3 – Be patient. Although taking the Progressive Action Factor into consideration makes development appear quite slow, over the long term it is always more effective – and faster – than trying to run before you can walk.
Adhere to these three simple rules and you should start noticing an improvement in the results you get in life almost immediately. But don’t take our word for this – give these rules a fair trial and you will soon see for yourself!
