The truth about the law of attraction is different from the book and movie. If you're feeling frustrated in your business, ask yourself, you know, am I really clear on exactly what it is that I'm building here or the thing that I want to build here?
And to the extent that it's not coming together, how's your vision? Are you very clear on what that means?
David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today's episode, co host Jay McFarland and I will be discussing the truth about the Law of Attraction. Now, this applies to business, it applies to life.
If you're familiar with the movie The Secret and the book The Secret, there's been a lot of talk about this concept, the Law of Attraction. It basically says that we attract into our lives the people and circumstances we need, based on essentially the vibes that we're putting out.
Jay: Well, and I was just sitting here thinking, I must not be putting out very good vibes.
David: I'm sure it's not that. But... I think sometimes when people get into this mindset, they can get frustrated, because if you think that all you have to do is really want it and it's going to come to you, it's not quite the whole story.
And I think the movie and the book called The Secret probably caused some people some problems with this. And part of it is because that movie, a lot of it was based on a book called The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. And if you read that book, you recognize that there's a whole lot more to it than just trying to attract it with your mind.
I mean, you actually have to follow up. You have to do some things afterwards if you want to try to get the results that you're actually looking for. So I feel like what they did in the book and the movie was kind of a disservice to the whole concept, which I think can be valid, if you follow up with it.
Jay: Yeah, I've always kind of felt, you know, talking about this, that it's more about a change in mentality than it is that you'll speak into the universe and the universe will grant you this wonderful thing out of the kindness of its heart. That because you've said these things, it's just like setting a goal.
Right? And so, when you hear things spoken, when your mind hears them, when you speak them with your mouth, it's different than just thinking about them. And so, over time, I think it changes your behavior, which leads you to that thing that you, quote, spoke into the universe.
David: Yeah, I believe that entirely as well.
I think that when you are focused on a goal, when you're focused on trying to accomplish something in your life, when your mind is going in that direction, it is a lot more likely to get you enthused about it, get you thinking about it more and get you taking action on it, which ultimately is what is going to lead to the success.
Now one aspect of it that I think is really important, on the front end of that, is that you have enough belief in what it is that you want to accomplish, that you continue to look for the ways to make it happen.
Because if you don't believe you can do it, obviously you're not going to do it. I think that's pretty much a given. If you don't think you can do something, if you don't think you can accomplish something, then you will very likely not take the actions necessary to make it happen.
So in those circumstances, it's kind of a given that you won't succeed. But if you've got the consummate belief in what it is that you want to do and what you're pursuing, then in a lot of cases, it will allow you to start to see the things that will make it possible.
So when people talk about the idea of attracting the people and circumstances into your life, I definitely believe there is truth to that,
