The Law of Attraction vs The Law of Distraction

Just as a compass is an instrument that determines direction by means of a freely rotating magnetized needle that indicates true north, you can point your life in the direction you want it to go in 2008. When we are true to our self, we constantly commit and re-commit to pursuing our genuine life north in the circle of all possibilities.

LOVE, joy, enthusiasm, and appreciation MAGNETIZE your heart’s desires because you are in the flow as a Deliberate Creator and vibrating on purpose. You are then a masterful point of attraction. FEAR and any emotions associated with it energetically such as anger, frustration, lack, complaining, worry or jealously will DEMAGNETIZE your heart’s desires because of their inherent resistance. Energetically, fear saps and sucks out your life force. It keeps you stuck by giving your power away to other people or situations.

Blessing and creating your day paves the way to feeling good and is
a powerful signal to the Universe that you are locked onto well being.

Sharon Warren

As a CREATOR that means following your heart and doing what feels good (not less bad). Your inner voice and what feeeeeels good will mirror whether you are attracting or repelling your heart’s desires through your thoughts, feelings and actions. You are the law of attraction in action! Or, does the Law of Distraction consume you endlessly by focusing on what is wrong. My dear friend, Kate Nowak, has introduced a 30day Blessing Way Challenge that is a daily source of inspiration with thought provoking messages. You can join at: www.bettertobless.com Kate’s beautiful sharings can light up your life and override personal distractions if you choose to participate.

If we nurse, curse and rehearse our challenges, they expand, multiply and become, in effect, the Law of Distraction. We neutralize challenges by focusing on what we want because our words and feelings are a vibratory force. If we ask for success, but prepare for failure, then we get the situation we focused on. We must act “as if” our outcome is already fulfilled without wavering and give thanks and consider it done. A good conclusion to any intention or prayer is also to add: “This or something better” because often the Universe has something far better in store than we can imagine!

Life has meaning only if you do what is meaningful to you.
Alan Cohen

Are your heart’s desires for 2008 large, meaningful, life giving, fun, creative, prosperous and enriching? Are you energizing the Law of Attraction or are you frequently side tracked by the Law of Distraction? The choice is in your hands—action or reaction. I invite you to offer a vibration that matches your heart’s desires rather than a vibration of matching “what is,” which distracts and detours you from focusing on what you really want. Your daily decisions to reach for good feeling thoughts and feelings reverberate and open up endless new possibilities.

Here are some succinct and memorable quotes to contemplate and remember as you deliciously pave your way into 2008:

Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.
Albert Einstein

Free yourself from the responsibility of making others happy.
Stephen Paul

Every decision you make stems from what you think you are
and represents the value that you put upon yourself.

It’s not just that when one door closes, another door opens. When one door closes, choirs burst into chorus, orchestras orchestrate, bugles bugle, marching bands march, dogs catch Frisbees, cats ‘chow, chow, chow,’ pigs fly, and 10,000 new doors open. Kind of makes you want a door to close, huh? T.U.T. message 12-21-07 By Mike Dooley

It’s not denial. I’m just selective about the reality I accept.
Calvin & Hobbes

I am also including a very special sharing from David Ault for everyone to savor and inhale frequently in the New Year.

EVERY DAY
by Rev. David Ault

You are not the same person you were 365 days ago. There is cell, blood and tissue regeneration. People have come and gone. Countless miles traveled. Physical adventures and immeasurable displays of emotion.
Old beliefs discarded and new ones nurtured.

Change

Some of it conscious, most of it, not so much.
Every one of those 365 day - 24 hour time-capsules carried equal importance.
Day 148? It is just as significant as day 241 or 300. So that third Thursday last Spring (the one you can’t remember) was just as beneficial as say New Year’s Day or the anniversary of your sobriety or cancer-in-remission checkup. And that arbitrary Monday last month holds as much significance in your growth as the day you walked across the stage and accepted your diploma or held your newborn for the first time.

Every day contributed to where you are in this moment.

And if you LIKE where you are at this time, then keep feeding your days with the same fuel of thoughts, words and deeds.

If you DON’T like where you are start by changing this - one day at a time.

This one day. Change what you dwell on.

Instead of linking one worst case thought to another. Start to create a new dwelling place in mind. Start dwelling on simple circumstances where things went right, people laughed and activities flowed. Start dwelling on which body parts ARE working and praise them for it. Start dwelling on what bills you CAN pay and be grateful for what that service provided you.

Dwell on possibility. Dwell on what has worked, whom you DO like, who HAS shown up and what good is happening in the world. Do that for a day. Do it for another. Then another.

And before you may realize, a collection of those deliberate dwelling days has become a month. A month has become a season and a season a year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson encouraged, “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely…”

I agree with Emerson’s suggestion to not carry our blunders with us from one day to the next for what good does it do to wallow in defeatist energy? AND, what I additionally believe, is that in order to let the next day be all that it can be, then one must BLESS the day AND the blunder. For only by blessing the absurdity can we ever really begin to let it go. Dwell on the blunder itself or dwell on the blessing of the blunder. Each a choice, each creating a tone for which our future days are colored.

Can you look back over this past year and authentically bless each day?

Can you bless the blunders, as well as the victories?

Can you consider that both were necessary for you to refine your choosing, your preference, and your desire?

If not, then start with blessing today then tomorrow, then tomorrow

A year from now, you will look back and see that you aren’t the same person you were when you first read this.
