Create Good Things

Posts Tagged ‘create good things’

One of the most powerful ways of creating good things in your life with the Law of Attraction is to develop the ‘attitude of gratitude’. Unfortunately, gratitude seems to have become something of a forgotten secret among modern day Law of Attraction practitioners, so in this article we will outline exactly why gratitude is so important.

The idea that ‘what you focus on expands’ is commonplace in Law of Attraction teachings, and many people interpret this to mean that they should focus their attention on their ultimate goal. If you can do this with a feeling of having already achieved the goal then that is a perfectly workable approach, but sometimes it is the case that fixing your attention on the goal also makes you very aware that you have not yet achieved it. Focusing on the goal can therefore also ‘accidentally’ involve focusing on not having what you want, and of course that ‘not having’ condition can also expand in your life if you are not careful.

An alternative approach is to develop the habit of gratitude, and specifically, to develop the habit of being grateful for whatever you have in your life that the manifestation of the intended goal would increase. Since the goal itself has not yet been achieved in terms of the linear time track, your gratitude target should be the emotion that you expect to experience when the goal has been achieved, rather than the specifics of the goal.

For example, let us imagine that you are using Law of Attraction principles to attract more abundance into your life. In this case you need to identify what emotions having a greater level of abundance would give you – let us say for the sake of illustration that it would give you a sense of security, optimism and freedom. That being established, you should now develop the habit of being grateful for whatever level of security, optimism and freedom you already have in your life, however small.

As you form the habit of using gratitude to focus on the emotions that you associate with your goal, what you focus on will, according to the Law of Attraction, expand. You will therefore find that the conditions of your life will naturally change to give you even more security, even more optimism and an even greater sense of freedom.

The expansion of what you focus on through gratitude could come via the straightforward manifestation of your goal, or it could come via another route that you haven’t even considered before, but your focus will certainly expand.

This is why it is rarely a good idea to be too specific about how you want a desired condition to manifest itself. You may think that more abundance automatically means that you have to get more money, but it could just as easily come into your life in the form of a gift or windfall. For example, you could win a new house in a competition and have security handed to you directly along with a reduction in your monthly living expenses (no more mortgage or rent payments). If you had been focusing exclusively on abundance manifesting as cash, you could easily have missed out on this non-financial way of experiencing your desire.

To summarise, developing the habit of gratitude is something that all Law of Attraction practitioners should do. Take your focus off your problems, worries and concerns and instead put it squarely on the conditions in your life that you want to expand. Be grateful for whatever measure of those conditions you already experience, and trust that the universe will expand them without you having to force the issue. Do this and we think that you will be very impressed with how things progress.

In this final instalment of our series on How to Manifest Money we present the third Manifesting Money principle which completes the trilogy…

Manifesting Money Principle #3 – Focus Your Actions

There is a saying which many people quote without realising that it contains a very true spiritual principle. The saying is this: ‘Pray as though everything depends on God, and act as though everything depends on you.’

This really does sum up our third principle of manifestation. Once you have made your wish and applied the law of e-motion (both spiritual workings in the main) it is time for you to take full responsibility for your life and start working towards your goal yourself.

Sit down and think about how you could increase your income using just your own resources. Could you get a better job? Could you ask for a pay increase? Could you call in any favours from other people? Could you start a business of your own on a shoe-string? Could you become an internet affiliate and make profits by recommended products to other people?

It doesn’t matter exactly what you do, as long as you begin to work as though everything depends on your actions. By doing this you will achieve a nice balance between your visualizations and actions, and the money will follow just as surely as dollar bills are green.

How To Manifest Money – In A Nutshell

We haven’t had much time in this short series to go into great theoretical detail, but the three Manifesting Money principles that we have shared are amazingly powerful if you put them to work. Just make a wish, apply the law of e-motion and then focus your actions on obtaining your goal under your own steam. These three principles will then merge on a spiritual level and the money you want will be manifested in your life. But don’t just take our word for this – apply the three Manifesting Money principles and see for yourself!

The first Manifesting Money principle that we shared in this series on How to Manifest Money related to setting a clear objective. If you have applied that principle as described then you are now ready for the second principle…

Manifesting Money Principle #2 – Apply the Law of E-Motion

Those of you who have been visiting Create Good Things for some time and have read through some of the materials listed on the Archive page will already know that emotion is energy in motion. That being the case, the second Manifesting Money principles is to apply spiritual energy to your goal by changing the state of your emotions. This will ensure that your personal vibrations are in tune with what you want and not with what you don’t want.

We don’t want to spend too much time talking about energy and vibrations in this series (the articles in the Creative Thoughts category will shed some light on this subject, and The New Science of Abundance ebook provides comprehensive coverage for the more serious student), but suffice it to say that the energy you automatically emanate via emotions can either attract or repel the things you want.  If you want to ensure that your wish is going to be manifest as quickly as possible, you must take steps to ensure that, so far as possible, your personal energies are in total harmony with your goal.

The easiest way to do this is to begin accepting the manifestation of your goal as a tangible fact. In other words, begin to talk, act and think as though what you want has already come to pass. You have probably heard of this technique before, but we assure you that it is one of the most powerful and magical of all metaphysical principles.

To help you get to the point where you are internally convinced that manifestation of abundance has already occurred, we suggest that you take the following simple steps:

#1 – Collect Money Symbols
Get a collection of magazines and cut out any picture which symbolizes money or wealth as far as you are concerned. The pictures could be varied: A brand new sports car, a large country mansion, a bottle of Champagne on ice,  a roll of dollar bills, a designer suit, and so on. When you have a nice pile of pictures which inspire you and make you think of abundance, put them in places where you will see them often, such as on a fridge door or bathroom mirror. Then, whenever your eye falls on the pictures, spend a few seconds visualizing yourself enjoying what you see. Imagine yourself sipping that cool Champagne, spending that roll of dollar bills and wearing that designer suit. The more vividly you can imagine these things, the more you will begin to tune your personal energies into the attraction of wealth and abundance.

#2 – Live Like A Success
What do you imagine you will do when you become abundant? Will you continue wasting precious hours of life watching banal television programmes, or will you spend your time more wisely? Will you take up a new hobby, start a business of your own or begin to learn new things?

However you think abundance will change your life, change it now! If you know you want to start your own business when your abundance is manifest then begin reading books about the type of business you want to run. Start making plans for the business so that everything is ready to roll when the money comes into your life. Similarly, if you want to visit far-off places when your abundance is manifest then start studying the countries you want to travel to. Maybe learn the language from books or audio programs in your spare time.

By spending your time preparing for the life you will live when you are actually wealthy, you will automatically start living like a success. This, in turn, will strengthen your personal energies and attract wealth into your life much faster.

One man we know decided that when he had abundance he would move to Los Angeles and start writing screenplays for a living. So instead of simply watching TV whilst he waited for abundance to manifest, he borrowed a few books from his library and studied the art of screenwriting thoroughly. Then he sat down and wrote a script, which was later optioned by a production company. In addition, he decided to spend time developing a ‘California Lifestyle’ by taking greater care of his body and dressing in more business-like clothes. In other words, he began living like the success he knew he wanted to be before the money had actually arrived!

The result of all this? When his abundance was manifest he was all set to go. He had the knowledge and the mental attitude which would make his new life in LA a complete success. In addition, he also had a few scripts to sell! And to think that all he sacrificed to do this was his habit of watching sitcoms and rolling news channels!

No matter what you intend to do when your abundance is manifest, start preparing for it now. Start living like a success right now and when the money rolls in, you can roll straight out and start living the life you’ve always wanted.

#3 – Sleep Programming
Before you go to sleep each night, imagine yourself living the kind of life that you want. See yourself wearing fine clothes, eating in fine restaurants and driving a fine car. See yourself open your purse or wallet and look at all the dollar bills inside. See yourself enjoy luxury vacations and anything else that your new-found abundance allows.

Don’t just imagine these things, but really feel as though they are real. Again, this will alter the quality of your personal energy vibrations, making them resonate on a frequency of wealth and financial prosperity. This will, in turn, transform you into a virtual money-magnet, attracting precisely what you want from the universe.

Previously we introduced this series on How to Manifest Money by discussing why you, as a spiritual being, deserve abundance in every area of life. We now present the first of three Manifesting Money principles that you can use to help you manifest money quickly and painlessly…

Manifesting Money Principle #1 – Make A Wish

This really is a vital principle in manifesting money and anything else for that matter. You have to start by ‘making a wish’ – by sitting down and deciding once and for all precisely what it is you want.

Now most people don’t actually do this. Most people mentally agree that they would like more money, or a better car, or a bigger home, but few actually sit down and decide that they are absolutely committed to getting what they want. Unfortunately, unless this decision is deliberately made, manifesting anything is virtually impossible.

Start by imagining that you have been granted just one wish to help you improve your financial life and that whatever you wish for you can have. Now decide what you will wish for, and be as specific as possible. Don’t rush this decision, but take your time. Sit down and seriously consider what you really and truly want. Not what you think you can get, or what you think you deserve, but what you want.

When you have made this decision, write your wish-goal on a piece of paper as though it has already been manifest. For example, instead of writing, ‘I wish for $10,000 in the bank’ you should write, ‘I have $10,000 in the bank.’ We use the present tense because this helps to unleash the power within us and makes manifestation a much faster process.

It may seem simple, but as we said earlier, most people never get around to deciding what they really want in the way of material abundance. Most people spend more time watching soap operas on television than they do making plans about their lives. It is therefore no wonder that they do not make any real progress.

So take these principles seriously. They have the power to give you whatever you want, but only if you use them. And the first step is to sit down and make a wish. So sit down and make it!
