Law of Attraction and the Role of Action (Blog)

[mochamajesty]

Yes, I was freaked out...at first.

Now, I KNOW that LOA works. You can't convince me otherwise. All it took was for me to witness it in my own life. And...as Acting Like Godot says, "Practice". See, I knew what to do. I knew that I had to work on myself. Release resistance in many areas, develop some trust, and release attachment to the how. I knew that I had to do all of those things. It wasn't until I actually put that into practice, that things turned around. And I did not have to do it perfectly....I had to do it consistently.

I still had to go on the interview. But...this interview felt "right", for lack of a better word. Before, when I went on interviews, there was a sense of desperation. "I NEED this job, please hire me." But this time, it was more like, "If this is the job for me, no need to be nervous." And there was no need to be nervous.

Sorry for the long post. Now I have to figure out what to create next.

See, I told you all ( a couple of hundred times already).

And since i just posted something else on this forum today about LOA working without action, I thought I'd put the link up here as well.

When you have a totla faith in LOA and it fails-- how do you live after that?

I'm sitting here chuckling to myself about a rather bizzare I've been recieved. It's an absolutely perfect solution to a situation I've created. I honestly would never have thought or dreamt of it in all my wildest dreams.

For the last couple of weeks I've had a creative block.
Out of sheer frustration and need for physical release, I spent the weekend pulling my chaotic front garden apart. Sunday night as I looked over the bare expanse, images of a new Zen garden began to appear. The weather's perfect to paint and replant now. Unfortunately every cent I earn over the next few weeks is pre allocated. But my creativity's back and I feel uplifted.

Today, I've been putting out my hand and saying to the universe 'Thank you' for providing the way, for the money I need to redo the garden, and more.'
I've also been quite reclusive lately and had the desire to connect with new, interesting, fun, people.

A friend called tonight and offered me the opportunity to earn more than I need, doing what I love, for a couple of hours work, at fun social event. When I've finished working I can join the party. How perfect!

The action I took was stating clearly what I wanted, then getting out the way, trusting the universe, and saying yes to the offer. I know I can just as easily block the flow by expending a lot of energy trying to figure it all out and placing all number of limitations on how. In this case I had no idea how and more important things to do with my head.

I've found in the past that when I let go and trust, far more amazing things happen than I could have percieved of. I guess the collective mind of the universe has thousands more possibilities than our single minds can hold.

Hey, that's the kind of thinking I need to adopt. I have more than the "need this job" thought but the solution is the same. If it's the right job things will just work out as long as I do my best. Negative thoughts sure are persistent though...

Even though I have had the belief that we can't do anything but our best at any time for a long time I'm still unable to put away my doubts. My major problem is probably that I'm in a feedback loop where thinking I'm not doing my best results in me doing things that are suboptimal which reinforces my thoughts.

I have this same thing going on.

For me, that is where Law of Attraction comes in. For that job scenario, I did not do one thing until I tackled my feelings/thoughts on the subject. The very first thing that I did was get into a calm place regarding the situation. It literally took most of my day. I would notice when I started feeling frustrated or worried, or what thoughts I would think. Then, I would turn the thoughts around.

It depends on what you believe. The Hicks material says that if you perform right action with the wrong mindset, you will not get the results that you want. So, I changed my mindset first. I had every intent of filling out applications and going on interviews. And the Universe responded before I could take any action.
