Applying the Law of Attraction in Your Life and Getting the Life You Want By Carolyn Anderson

Define the life you want and visualize. If you want something, ask it from the universe and you must have a clear picture in mind about what it is. The realization of your dreams and desires starts from creating a mental image of what it is that you want. Learn how to visualize and learn to feel the emotions and feelings that come with it. Visualization is an important part of manifesting a desire, as you are inculcating into your conscious and subconscious mind the details of what you want. If you already have an image in mind, you can start asking for it and attracting it by feeling and enjoying it like it has already happened.

Positive thinking. Most often, our negative thoughts are hindering us from applying the law of attraction in our daily lives. We often lack confidence on ourselves because we have a lot of insecurities. We often give up even before trying. If you want to attract the life you want, be positive. Always think that there is something that can be done and that includes finding ways to reach your goals. One technique that you can use in this part is the positive affirmation.

Be thankful. Being grateful is also another key in applying the law of attraction in your life. The more thankful you are with whatever it is that you have now, the more you attract more good things. Whatever it is that you are going through, you can always find something that you can be thankful for. Share what you have to others. It is also in giving that you can learn to appreciate your life. It is also in giving that you receive more. Think about what you have and not dwell on what you lack.

Focus on your desires and your goals. Attracting the life you want needs focus and not only setting your mind on it but also focusing your energy, your resources and your time on it. You can practice meditation too to help you to focus your mind at the same time get rid of the stress of daily life that can also help you attain what you want. Take action and seize opportunities. Of course, you have to learn how to receive the life that you want to attract. You have to seize every opportunity and take action. If you want to reach your dreams and desires, work on it.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. Buddha

You become as you think!

If you are far from reality and once you realized that, bring yourself to the reality as soon as. This means you will be more closer to the natural state or no conflict.

"I simply followed (my teacher's) instruction, which was to focus the mind on pure being, 'I am', and stay in it. I used to sit for hours together with nothing but the 'I am' in my mind, and soon peace and joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state. In it all disappeared -- myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace remained, and unfathomable silence." -- Nisargadatta Maharaj

“If you are deeply involved with the simplest aspects of your life, you will see every aspect of your life as spectacular”

Jiddu Krishnamurti on Idea of God and Escapism
Questioner: Man must know what God is before he can know God. How are you going to introduce the idea of God to man without bringing God to man's level?
Jiddu Krishnamurti : You cannot, sir. Now, what is the impetus behind the search for God, and is that search real? For most of us, it is an escape from actuality. So, we must be very clear in ourselves whether this search after God is an escape, or whether it is a search for truth in everything - truth in our relationships, truth in the value of things, truth in ideas. If we are seeking God merely because we are tired of this world and its miseries, then it is an escape.
Then we create God, and therefore it is not God. The God of the temples, of the books is not God, obviously - it is a marvelous escape. But if we try to find the truth, not in one exclusive set of actions, but in all our actions, ideas, and relationships, if we seek the right evaluation of food, clothing, and shelter, then because our minds are capable of clarity and understanding, when we seek reality we shall find it. It will not then be an escape. But if we are confused with regard to the things of the world - food, clothing, shelter, relationship, and ideas - how can we find reality?
We can only invent reality. So, God, truth, or reality is not to be known by a mind that is confused, conditioned, limited. How can such a mind think of reality or God? It has first to decondition itself. It has to free itself from its own limitations, and only then can it know what God is, obviously not before. Reality is the unknown, and that which is known is not the real.
So, a mind that wishes to know reality has to free itself from its own conditioning, and that conditioning is imposed either externally or internally; and as long as the mind creates contention, conflict in relationship, it cannot know reality. So, if one is to know reality, the mind must be tranquil, but if the mind is compelled, disciplined to be tranquil, that tranquillity is in itself a limitation, it is merely self-hypnosis. The mind becomes free and tranquil only when it understands the values with which it is surrounded.
So, to understand that which is the highest, the supreme, the real, we must begin very low, very near; that is, we have to find the value of things, of relationship, and of ideas, with which we are occupied every day. And without understanding them, how can the mind seek reality? It can invent ``reality,'' it can copy, it can imitate because it has read so many books, it can repeat the experience of others.
But surely, that is not the real. To experience the real, the mind must cease to create because whatever it creates is still within the bondage of time. The problem is not whether there is or is not God, but how man may discover God, and if in his search he disentangles himself from everything, he will inevitably find that reality. But he must begin with the near and not with the far.
Obviously, to go far one must begin near. But most of us want to speculate, which is a very convenient escape. That is why religions offer such a marvelous drug for most people. So, the task of disentangling the mind from all the values which it has created is an extremely arduous one, and because our minds are weary, or we are lazy, we prefer to read religious books and speculate about God; but that, surely, is not the discovery of reality. Realizing is experiencing, not imitating.
