Attracting What You WantAttracting what you want takes the right attitude. By the right attitude, I mean you have to think positively about what you lack. I know that sounds rather odd and contradictory – how on earth do you think positively about something that’s missing in your life? However, you’re trying to attract what you want, not repel it. Negativity and lack will repel the very thing you desire. Attracting what you want has no place for a Gloomy Gus. When you focus on something positive, your attitude will change, and you will feel more positive. Positive attracts positive, and you will bring into your life those things you want.

I used to worry a lot about money. I thought I was thinking positively, but I wasn’t. My thoughts were self-defeating because my focus was on lack – “I will get more money.” Wanting “more” of something means there’s a lack, which is negative. I then started to focus on “I have financial security.” This is a positive statement and is as though financial security is already in my life. Once I started “spinning” my focus in a positive way, I started attracting what I wanted. I had money to pay all my bills, with a surplus at the end of the month. After a couple months of doing this, I built up a little nest egg!

Because of this experience, I try hard to put a positive spin on my attitudes and try not worry. Of course, that’s easier said than done, but I remind myself that when I worry, I’m attracting into my life the very situations I’m worrying about. That snaps me right back into my positive mode real quick!

Do not let negative thinking get in the way of attracting what you want. Concentrate on what you want as if you already have it. Don’t give credence to the scary uncertainty that surrounds you. Concentrate on the blue skies above and attracting what you want. You will reach your goals. Just believe.

Need a Road Map to Life?It sure would make things easier if we had a road map to life, wouldn’t it? We’d know where to go, what choices to make, who to choose as our friends and loved ones, etc. But that’s the beauty of life – we have choices. Because if we had a road map to life that’s been handed to us, wouldn’t we loose our right to choose?

I think we can create our own road map to life, although making such a map will be a long and involved process. It’s worth the effort, though. We need to do a lot of self reflection in order to get our handy dandy little road map to life. We need to know our strengths and weaknesses. We need to know our deepest desires and our most haunting fears. Once we have a good grasp of just who it is we are, we can map out our destinations. We can then keep our road map to life always at the ready whenever we feel lost, or whenever we feel the need to reassess. There’s nothing wrong with changing our life’s plans; we just make another road map. At least we make it with the wisdom gained through our personal experiences and self reflection.

Don’t forget, as you’re following your road map to life, you need to enjoy the journey and destinations along the way. We are, after all, souls having physical experiences, so we need to make the best of this physical plane. Enjoy, plan, and really live.

So, tell me, do you need a road map to life? If you haven’t made one, start today.
