Who You Are Determines What You Receive - The Law Of Attraction at WorkWho You Are Is What You get
I had to work two part-time cleaning jobs just to keep up with the expenses I was incurring. I had to pay plenty in evicting a tenant. Eventually I lost the house and ruined my credit. Did the Law of Attraction "give" to me what I was thinking? NO! I was thinking and focusing on doing well. In retrospect, what happened was the Law of Attraction simply gave to me what I was. I found out that WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT you will attract - right between my eyes! Like Attracts LikeThe Law of Attraction will bring to you circumstances that are aligned with who you are; Like Attracts Like. My failure occurred because I did not do what the successful people in Real Estate Investing (and everywhere else) insist that you do; develop a clear and definite plan. I didn't focus and develop a plan with guidelines and direction. Therefore, I only set myself up for failure. Why didn't I develop a plan with guidelines? I didn't do so because that's who I was. I was an undisciplined, disorganized dreamer that wasn't capable of being successful in Real Estate Investing. I simply couldn't "move past" who I was since WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT actions you will take! Being Before DoingI couldn't manage it because I wasn't the right person. The methods and principles were all there for me. The Law of Attraction simply gave me "my own" and brought to me (all wrapped up in the form of a foreclosure) who I was!! The truth of WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT you will receive proved itself to me. I was trying to accomplish the “doing” before I had in me the “being.”Of course, who you are is a direct function of what you think. The problem is, who you are is the fruit of attitudes, actions and habits developed and carved out into your very being long ago. You may have all sorts of positive thoughts and desires, but percolating way below the surface are attitudes and perspectives that you simply don't realize; you've become used to them and they seem OK to you. Those attitudes and perspectives are who you are. WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT circumstances and life will bring. In Retrospect, The Evidence Was ClearI don't believe that I was unconsciously thinking about failure. I was simply living in a way that clearly indicated (though not to me at the time) that I was headed toward failure. The disorganization and lack of planning filtered down to many areas of my life; from the clutter in my apartment to my lack of financial planning.I had accepted myself in that way. I created myself that way by my thinking and my actions (and lack thereof). This is why I am convinced that my becoming more organized in my apartment, developing a budget and planning my spending and just about everything else in my life has been just as important as any visions and affirmations of prosperity that I may come up with. If WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT you will attract, then these decisions, these behaviors are powerful steps in the right direction. This is why I shudder when some Law of Attraction "guru" says that he can bring you prosperity within 30 days as long as you follow his program (which is worth $5000.00, usually costs $399.00, but will only cost you $97.00 if you purchase it with the next 17 seconds!). Discovering Who You Really AreDiscovering who you really are and therefore what you really think and believe about yourself is no easy or quick task. You (and everyone else) have too many defense mechanisms set up to make it a fast and simple process.Yet, if you make a decision to take this journey of personal development and determine that you will face and overcome any obstacles within yourself, you will succeed and it may not even cost you $97.00! So, if WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT you will attract and receive, then find out who you really are! Find out by:
I’ve discovered that I am practicing habits of confidence, boldness, passion, being purposeful and being what I call “ruthlessly positive.” I see the fruit of the habits and I believe those qualities are who I am. Yet, despite progress in being organized and living “clutter free,” I still have a ways to go! These are my “cutting areas of growth.” Don’t ever be fearful of discovering who you really are. After all, people still love you and you are always able to become whom you desire to be. BUT, you must start with who you are and not who you hope you are! The Law of Attraction will bring to you what you are. Since WHAT YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT you will attract and receive, focus on the type of person that you desire to be. You won’t have to spend all sorts of money following expensive promises. You will however, need to become passionate about the type of person you want to become! It’s not a casual process that you think about once and awhile. In a way, it has to become a “mission” in your life. If you think that this type of life isn’t worth the time and effort you will need to put in, ask yourself, “If I continue the way I’ve been living, will I reach my goals?” According to Charles Haanel in his classic The Master Key System, this "domain of mind and spirit," this "domain of practical power," will cost you something: And its rewards?
