Lessons In Law Of Attraction: Even The Most Dire Circumstances Can Improve
We all have days when nothing seems to be going right. Heck some of us even have weeks and months like that. But even in the darkest of times there is always the possibility that things can get better.
The truth is no matter where you are today you are only ONE choice away from improving your life.
That’s right – just ONE choice.
You may have heard the saying “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This applies to life too in which the journey to peace, happiness, success, health, or whatever else you desire starts with a single choice.
And that choice is simple: You simply choose to have a different life from this moment forward.
Once you have made that decision the wheels of creation are set in motion to make it so for you. At first they may appear to move almost imperceptibly, creaking under the strain as things are set in motion. But with movement comes momentum and it won’t be long before things are clipping along at a brisk pace and the woes of yesterday are nothing but distant memories.
Need an example from the real world?
Ok so up until this moment let’s say you are living in poverty. Let’s say extreme poverty where you are living under a bridge. And today when you woke up you made the choice that things are going to change. It wasn’t a wishing, begging or pleading but a statement of fact. Things are going to change.
Immediately you sense a new attitude within yourself and though you’re still sitting under that same bridge you somehow have hope where there was none perviously. As you go about your day you find a dollar on the ground. Sure you often find change but not paper money. Things are changing. Then you go to the shelter for dinner and they give you an extra piece of cake. A small bonus but things are changing.
The next day you find a bag full of clothing in the dumpster – nice stuff and just your size. More change. You clean yourself up, put on one of those outfits and go tell the people you used to beg from that things are changing and you’re looking for work. Then through a friend of a friend of a friend you are offered not only a job but a place to stay too. More positive change.
A few weeks later you hear of a class you want to take and you strike up a barter arrangement with the instructor. The material inspires you and you look into furthering your education in that field. Big changes keep coming as you enroll in the local college, complete your degree and go on to become a successful business person doing work you love. And every once in a while you visit that old bridge, dropping a dollar or two and leaving some clothes in the trash.
It all started with a SINGLE CHOICE – a statement of conviction that things are going to change.
It really does work, even if you’re living under a bridge.
Lessons In Law Of Attraction: How To Deal With Unsupportive People
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone was super supportive of everything you wanted to do!
The truth is however that not everyone is supportive all of the time. And some people seem to make it their life’s mission to thwart your efforts at every opportunity.
Why do they do that? And what, if anything can you do about it?
The weird thing about unsupportive people is that very often they think they are being supportive. Like a parent who punishes a child “for their own good,” unsupportive people often think they have your best interests in mind. The thing is that they don’t see the world from your perspective. Instead they see the world from their own perspective, and then go about trying to project that perspective on to everyone around them (including you).
When you realize this then you also understand that unsupportive people usually aren’t out to get you. They are simply offering input from their own experience and view of life. So what can you do about it, especially if you’re stuck with those people?
One of the easiest and most effective things you can do is to stop expecting to receive support from those people. They’ve already proven they can’t give it (or can’t give it in the way you need). If you continue to demand support from them, especially support in a certain way, it will just lead to tension and frustration. No one needs that.
Instead find people who will support you in the way you need. This may mean meeting new people, joining a group, or even getting professional help. But once you find people who are supportive your attitude, and success rate, will improve immeasurably.
Also realize that you may get different kinds of support from different people. One person may be excellent at offering support for your healthy lifestyle efforts but may be very unsupportive when it comes to relationships. Be ok with getting different types of support from different people.
And finally, the wider network of support you build the more supported you’ll feel overall. It’s much better to have 5 people you can call on a certain issue than one who isn’t answering the phone.
Here’s to your excellent support team :)
