Vision, Goals and Plans

As you may know the Law of Attraction is one based upon attraction. Like thoughts and energy attract like. You may even know about the process of goal development and the necessity in the belief you will achieve your goals.

Have you every really thought about the concept of attraction, and how it seems to exist beyond time? This may seem very esoteric but if you bear with me you may peer into the future a bit and see all the wonders awaiting you there.

Energy is attracted to similar energy. There is a balance of the Universe and the Law of Attraction is the glue the keeps it all together. Your role is that you attract things into your through positive thought, action and deed. I am proposing is that this attraction process is not one sided.

Think of the analogy of a magnet. The energy stored within a magnet attracts similar particles to itself. If you hold a magnet close to paper clip if will draw that paperclip to itself. You can then easily pull the paper clip and repeat the experiment. If you see yourself as the magnet, are your goals just small pieces that are attracted to you?

The things we want in life are magnets too. If you place two magnets close to one another they will pull together quickly and will have a stronger bond than one magnet and a paperclip. There are people, careers and other objects in the Universe that are pulling as hard at you as you are trying to attract it. It is these goals that are pulling at you all of your life that you should pay attention to the most. These are the things in life that you will be the most successful and attract easier into your life. If you are spending your time looking at small scraps of metal to attract, you are missing the big picture.

Suppose for a moment that you want a certain type of car. Currently your income does not allow you to afford that particular car. You might attract that car into your life in some way, but find that you are still struggling with making payments or dealing with the car repair bills. Why does this happen? You did everything that you were supposed to do to manifest the car into your life, but you are struggling to keep it there.

Here are two ways in which it could have manifested. See if you can discover the large "magnetic" goal that the person may be missing.

Scenario #1

You get some extra weekend work and raise enough money for the down payment on the car and insurance for six months. You do not like the particular career you are in, nor do you care for the type of extra work you had to do to get the extra money you needed. The Universe did answer your call and you were able to buy the car on credit. In two months you are struggling to make payments and are blaming the Universe for your predicament.

Scenario #2

You want that same car. However, there is a more pressing matter about your career. You have always wanted to be a chef and you concentrate on making that happen in your life. It has been something you have always "pictured" yourself doing. In a few months you get a job at a high end restaurant as a cook and are going to culinary school. The money you are making allows to buy the car in a few months, and you find the payments are easy.

The other magnet in scenario two is obvious. Try thinking about it this way. While you are dreaming about being a chef, a lawyer or independently wealthy; the dream is in the future dreaming about you. The goal is pulling at you to be manifested. If you pay attention to what is pulling at you, you will find more success and happiness in your life then you ever thought possible. It is only when we ignore these "callings" that we find our lives empty and unfulfilled.

Some people may call it destiny or by many other names. You were born to be happy and to have a place in the world. The world holds so many possibilities for us that we can become overwhelmed. It is then you must just listen to your heart, for it can hear your destiny calling you from the future where it is waiting for you to arrive.
