Purposeful Point: It’s important to remember that within the Law of Attraction is both the word and intention of action, but not just any action.

You could view today’s episode as a bit of a counterbalance to some of the other podcasts where we’ve stressed being, being, being. It’s also my intention to clarify a few misconceptions around the spiritual principle often referred to as the Law of Attraction. Over the years since this spiritual principle has become so popular, I’ve heard several well-meaning personal development experts criticize the law saying that it’s ridiculous to think that all you need to do is sit around visualizing in your mind what you want and expecting it to all come true.

Well, I agree, but the way I learned the Law of Attraction is that there’s an important action step in it as well. I’m not sure who first pointed out to me that within the word, “attraction” can be found the word “action.”  So, let’s review this important principle in today’s episode and then look to see the missing ingredient that can make it even more powerful in helping us to live a satisfying and fulfilling life.

Step One: what is the Law of Attraction? Simply stated, that like attracts like. Birds of a feather flock together. And this is particularly true when it comes to the basic building blocks of our nonphysical universe of which there are two. While the basic building blocks of the physical Universe are atoms, the basic building block of our nonphysical Universe are our thoughts and feelings/emotions. And this is where the Law of Attraction comes into play.

Fear or lack-based thought and feelings attract more of the same while love and abundant-based thought and feelings also attract more of the same. So, often times, we may get stuck in fearful or lack-based thinking which may in fact freeze us into inactivity or result in our taking the wrong actions — actions that stem from fear.

But thoughts and feelings that arise from Universal love are both inspiring and empowering and are intended to inspire us into action. Using this Law of Attraction in the early morning can result in our being inspired out of bed in the morning, just as I was this morning as I lay in bed contemplating preparing this podcast.

Now for the secret ingredient that brings this all together. Know what it is? Well, it’s purpose, of course. Or said more accurately, clarity of purpose. Knowing your true purpose so clearly that it can be the source of those love-based thoughts and feelings that then inspire you to take action consistent with those thoughts and feelings and which over time lead to results that are consistent with your life purpose.
