Law of Attraction - Ask, Believe and Receive

Ask and then believe. There is no point in asking and then creating doubts in your own mind. It is like having patches of weed in your beautifully manicured garden. This step is very important. It is the difference between success and failure. Be clear in your mind what you are asking for. Remember there is no limit, no constraint.

Imagine this scenario. You plan to take a holiday. You have the road map and the destination is marked out. You pack your things and start off confidently. Halfway through the journey you feel you have lost your way. What do you do? Is the road map no longer valid? Will you start searching for a new route? This is exactly what happens to most of us in our journey of life. We often want and sometimes ask the universe for it. Somewhere along the way we lose confidence. We are not sure. The road is too rough or has too many bends.

Belief is the central theme of The Secret. Wealth, prosperity and happiness are yours for the asking. It is abundantly available in this universe. But you must believe. The powerful law of attraction will ensure your success. As your belief is carried through the universe, it will attract like forces. The magic of attraction will multiply the positive energy and fulfill your desire. Forget your doubts. Once you have embarked on your journey, have faith in the road map. It will take you there. The path may look different, sometimes even dangerous and confusing but you will reach your destination.

Another analogy I always like to give is from The Secret. Imagine you are driving at night. You can hardly see fifty feet ahead of you and only that portion of the road which your headlamps illuminate. What do you do? Stop driving because you cannot see all the way till the end? You know that once the fifty feet are covered, you will be able to see further. And further... this is literally blind faith. This is the kind of blind faith you require in your own future. The universal forces will guide you till the very end. You don't know the how of it. But it will happen. Believe me. And yourself.

Belief. It is the strongest word in the dictionary of life.

Reinforcement is very important. The positive thoughts should become a mantra which you keep chanting to yourself. The universe will take care of the rest. What you need is a clear picture in your mind. Make the picture as detailed as possible. If you are asking for a limousine, know what color it would be. What will be the interiors like? Feel the fabric of the seats. Feel the air whistling by as you drive. Immerse yourself in the experience as if you already have it. Keep reinforcing your thoughts and refining your image of the limousine.

Remember not to change its color time and again. Don't alter the design and shape. Just keep adding to the detail. If you have originally imagined a silver color, you can refine it to a finer shade but silver should remain silver. Don't change your image drastically. Once you have the mental map and destination clear in your mind, drive confidently. Don't change your destination midway.

Now let us put things in perspective. What should your life look like? What aspect of life you want to change. If you want to be happily married, you will have a mental picture of your partner clearly etched in your mind. Don't bother about the how of it. If you want you can think of a prince riding on a white horse. Nothing should limit your imagination. Only your picture should have clarity. More detail you add to this picture, better the outcome.

Reinforcing by repetitive thinking and refining by adding details to your thoughts will get you to the destination faster. I know of a person who thought of living by the sea shore in a palatial bungalow. He had a clear picture in his mind as to what he wanted. He could even hear the waves lapping on the shore, while he slept next to the French windows. He confessed that it was all done in a light hearted way. But the image in his mind grew stronger and stronger. Before long he got an opportunity to live in exactly the same house which he had imagined. Down to the lone birch tree next to the bedroom. Well, that's the power of your thoughts.

Your desires would be fulfilled to the exact extent you wish. No more, no less.
