 Self
Development Best Practices
Your Wish is Your Command!!!

Remember the story about Aladdin and the lamp? Can we
learn from this fable? Absolutely! In the July issue
article Are You Attractive? you were introduced to the
Law of Attraction. You learned that there are two
possible energies: negative and positive. You learned
that the most successful, creative and powerful people
in the world understood/understand and utilize this
basic universal law of attraction. Now it’s time to put
the law to the test in your own life.
Everything in the universe is “energy”, from the chair
you’re sitting on to the body your soul inhabits. Every
thought or idea you have is energy and actually has a
frequency. Through years of experimentation and
research, we now have instruments to measure thoughts
and the energy they emit.
If you were to interview the great scientists (Einstein
or Newton), inventors (Edison or Carver), artists (DaVinci
or Picasso), social revolutionists (Gandhi or Mother
Teresa), authors (Shakespeare or Emerson), or
contemporary business giants (Gates or Oprah), they
would all tell you that when they decided to make a
difference, they had no idea HOW to do it. Each of them
would tell you that it was their decision to do it and
it was their faith in the universe that brought their
ideas to fruition. The “how” isn’t important; however,
the decision, dedication and belief are the crucial
ingredients to success.
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the
whole staircase, just take the first step.” Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.
To understand the power of the law of attraction, you
must understand that whatever you focus on, whether
negative or positive, is what you will attract into your
life. For example if your thoughts are: I have to get
out of debt; I have too much debt; if I do this, I can
decrease my debt, your subconscious and focus is on
DEBT. And because universal laws are obedient and your
focus has been on debt, more debt becomes the
consequence. If you shift your thinking slightly and
focus on abundance: having the house you want, the bank
balance you want, the relationship you want, and can
actually feel the way you would feel if that abundance
was a part of your life, the universe will answer with
abundance. Please re-read this paragraph. It’s a simple
concept, but many times misunderstood.
If you are a person who complains or constantly talks
and thinks about the things or situations that are
unpleasing, your focus is on what you don’t want in your
life.
From this day forward, as you think things like “I don’t
like eating macaroni and cheese 3 times a week,” or “I
don’t like the way my spouse treats me,” or “I can’t get
myself out of debt,” stop and say to yourself out loud,
“So what DO I want?”
Are you the person who says, “I hate drive-throughs
because they always screw up my order,” and as you drive
away from the window, open the bag to find that just as
you stated, the universe delivered an incorrect order?
(Your wish is the universe’s command). Or are you the
person who hates to go to International Plaza or
Clearwater Beach because you can never find a parking
place? If you think it, if you give it focus or power,
the universe will answer with more of the same, negative
or positive.
If you are ready to use your magic lamp, if you can
truly detach yourself from your current limiting thought
habits, then you can experience the Law of Attraction in
action.
Are you skeptical? Let’s work with a very simple and
easy example of manifesting or attracting your desire.
Are you ready to manifest the perfect parking space
every time? Good, your genie is waiting.
For the next 10 days focus on the perfect parking space
as you get into your car and turn the key in the
ignition. Truly visualize the space before you arrive.
Visualize pulling into the space. Once you have focused
on the space you want, and have visualized pulling into
it, let the thought go and smile. Turn on your favorite
music or verbally declare what a beautiful day it is and
offer a thought of gratitude for the abundance you
currently enjoy in your life. By the time you arrive at
the parking lot your space will be waiting for you or
someone will be leaving the space you are about to
occupy. Congratulations. You have just experienced a
small example of the Law of Attraction. Your wish is
your command.
