Law of Attraction Revealed - Like Attracts Like

The Law of Attraction Revealed is a series of articles I'm writing covering the main principles of the Law of Attraction. Unless you've been living under a rock the last few years, you're most likely familiar with the term. In a nutshell, the Law of Attraction states that "like attracts like." This principle goes further to describe how our thoughts directly effect manifestations in our lives. Have your ever heard the phrase, "bad things happen in threes?" I would like to believe this is bogus, but then I critically examine events in my life and realize there's some shred of truth to the phrase. You fail a test. The next thing you know you're arguing with a friend. The next day, your car dies or you get into an accident.

Conversely, when your mind is focused on happiness and joy, good things happen. You earn a promotion at work. The love of your life enters your world. You hear from an old fB53riend. You soar to great heights, surpassing anything you would have imagined for yourself. It makes you wonder what's really happening with your world. Let's examine some reasons for these issues.

Like Attracts Like Have you ever heard the phrase, "birds of a feather flock together?" I've seen the manifestations of this principle in more than one way. The people closest to you are generally those who function on the same frequency. What does this mean? Well, positive folks tend to hang with other positive folks. Why? Truthfully, negative personalities have a draining effect on positive beings. Does this mean you should end every relationship you have with complainers, whiners, or the depressed? Others may argue with this but I say no. It does mean, however, that you must learn to detach yourself from the energies surrounding these situations as much as possible. Don't allow them to dominate your thoughts. We desperately need positive influence in our world today. We should continue helping those less fortunate and those in need. Just resist the temptation to claim their issues as your own, thereby inviting their negativity into your psyche.

Energy. It's everywhere. Even scientists tell you that we couldn't exist without it. In the book, The Secret, James Ray describes energy in this way, "....can never be created or destroyed, it always was, always has been, everything that ever existed always exists, it's moving into form, through form and out of form." So what determines what sort of energy surrounds human beings?

Our Thoughts. Remember the discussion about the phrase, "bad things happen in threes?" That's right. What's happening in our minds when rotten things continue happening? We're focusing on the negative. More than focusing on it, we're feeling it with all of our energy. We may also feel listless, tired, or even physically ill because of our thought processes. I've cured an oncoming cold or infection many times just by changing my thoughts.

What does all this mean? To me it proves the importance of our thoughts affecting our surroundings. As I think on my life, I clearly notice instances where I've allowed negativity into my mind. In some cases it drags me down, affecting my own emotional being. When I'm able to reverse these emotions, however, I regain the joy I want in my life.
