If Only You Believe

By Doran Roggio

As we enter 2007, it is obvious that we are ushering in a need for a more well-defined understanding of the 'Law of Attraction.' Financial problems, family dissent, violent crime, all these things make it difficult for many to perceive and believe in something better. Although they may desire a prosperous lifestyle, one free from worry, for some it is difficult to envision a life without impoverishment, poor health and problems. It can be difficult to sense the exhilaration one would feel from an experience if one had only known hurt, pain and disappointment.

Difficult as it may be to perceive, YOU can control your destiny through your own thoughts and emotions. What you focus on daily is what is manifested in your life. Just as the Master of the Universe is a creator, you, too, are a creator. Your experiences are the mirror of your creative thoughts. In essence, what you wish for will be your reality. That is a simple statement and it is the plain simple truth, a natural law that cannot be denied any more than you can deny gravity without suffering it's consequences.

Does that mean it is easy to apply the 'Law of Attraction’? While it is not complicated to understand, it may not be easy to apply. No one wants to hear that they are the cause of their own troubles. How many times we hear the comment, "You brought it on yourself". Little did we realize how much truth that statement holds.

One must look inward honestly. Ask yourself what kinds of thoughts dominate your mind? I have an acquaintance that is a very negative person. This individual spends the better portion of her life depressed and complaining. I tried one time to speak with her about altering her thinking to a more positive outlook. I tried to convince her to stop dwelling on the world's problems, or her disappointments and look at life more optimistically. The gist of her reply to my urging was that she deliberately thought negative so that she would not be disappointed. I could not make her understand that it was the negative thinking that actually caused the experiences and the defeats.

If my acquaintance would have believed and made an attempt to focus on positive, definitive thoughts, defining her desires and expecting them to be delivered, she would have taken her first steps to applying the ‘Law of Attraction.’ Only you can make the difference. How you perceive your life is how your life will be.

When pondering on the 'Law of Attraction' and how it's principals can be explained, I find myself thinking about children's stories. In fairy tales and kid's movies the hero/heroine is taught that their wishes can come true if they meet certain criteria.

The character is taught to close their eyes and wish very hard for the thing or experience they desire. Then the child is told to have faith, that they must believe for their wish to come true. Lo and behold the desired thing is then realized.

This does not always happen at first try. The character is told that they may not believe wholeheartedly or perhaps they are not wishing (desiring) hard enough. The fable generally ends with the hero/heroine realizing the fulfillment of their wish after they have learned to desire and believe with all their might.

These children's stories which convey that wishes do come true through a strong desire coupled with a deep faith in its reality are actually teaching children the concept of the 'Law of Attraction'. The child is learning first to make a wish (have strong desires), then to believe in its conception (faith) and close their eyes and imagine (experience it's culmination).

All the old spiritual books teach that we should become like children. Some of us in moving from childhood into adulthood become disbelievers. We lose that ability to trust in the strength of our dreams and the faith in the universe to carry them out. No longer do we believe that wishes do come true or that we have control over our destiny.

The 'Law of Attraction' exists whether we believe it or not. What you think and feel in your mind and heart determines what you experience in your life. If you focus your thoughts on negativism and pessimism daily the 'Law of Attraction' can only mirror the same elements in your experiences. If you find yourself in a pool of despair, experiencing one trauma after another it is time to look inward and readjust your thoughts. You are in the drivers seat. You can change your experiences.

Give your desires strength. Set deadlines. Have unbreakable faith that you have set in motion the attainment of your dreams. Close your eyes and imagine the results of your desire. If that is difficult for you, ask others to share feelings on attaining their goals. Then imagine feeling that way yourself.

Wishes do come true. You are the creator of your destiny. But you must BELIEVE. If you have not done so yet, watch the movie, "The Secret". Yes, wishes do come true if only you BELIEVE.
