There's Attraction & Then There's Action

After so many years of research, study, teaching and counseling in things very much related to how our powerful minds play such a fundamental role in our daily performances, I've got a bone to pick. Hence, I thought I would write this post (the accompanying video below) to air my grievances for all to see.

I'm being general here, but essentially there seems to be two schools of thought when it comes to today's topic.

 

School One:

"Hog wash."

"Yeah, right."

"You heathen!" (yes, I really did have a Los Angeles broker say that to me when he read a review copy of my new book)

 

School Two:

"Coooooool! I can just sit and meditate on buyers dropping into my lap from the universal powers that be."

"Hey, I just visualized a million bucks in the bank, you want fries with that?"

So what I'm saying is that when I mention the "Law of Attraction" which I try not to anymore, people either think I'm an ariy-fairy-meditating-head-case who just wants to make folks feel good, darn it. (not) OR, they assume I am the Messiah teaching them magical tricks to manifest millions. (not).

But here's the skinny:

Napoleon Hill wrote "Think and Grow Rich" way back when my mom was in diaper, and businessmen the world over sang his praises. Have you read that book? Hill talks about his "invisible" friends and discusses how he masterminded with dead folks. And I'm weird? Okay, DEFINITELY not knocking Hill. His book changed my life and eventually led me to write my most recent masterpiece, "Think & Get Rich in Real Estate Sales." However, some still don't take it seriously...and I'm not saying this is a gender thing (or is it?). Allow me to explain the TRUTH behind how all this works, as far as I understand it.

First of all, let me clarify that I've got a masters degree in communication, an undergrad in psychology, worked with the California Association of Realtors for several years, and am a college professor. And for 20 years I have studied the power of the mind, human behavior, the science of success & motivation, quantum physics and brain biology (how many of you know what your amagdyla does?) so that said, I am NOT a woo woo heathen (a trouble maker at times, granted).

The law of attraction works on subtle energy fields in part, on via the subconscious mind the rest of the way. Our subconscious mind determines our behavior, and the Asian cultures have been studying and applying subtle energy fields for approximately 4,000. If it didn't work, dontcha think they'd stop it?

BUT HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!

You cannot WISH yourself rich or healthy or thin. You cannot sit on your duff all day and expect it to rain prospects. You cannot Twitter for ten hours a day and expect leads will fall into place. You MUST TAKE ACTION.

Lights, Camera...

You have to take action. Intelligent, positive, productive action. Nothing happens until something moves. You  can create vision boards, meditate, say affirmations till your tongue falls off, and guess what? Without some kind of action, you will NOT get the results you want. Period. End of story.

 

The Good News

The good, no make the GREAT, news is that when you understand how all of this works together, your powerful mind with your well-intended actions can literally create miracles.  Okay, so you won't necessarily be able to move mountains or walk on water, but c'mon, I'm going for dramatic effect here. Your mind and emotions are veritable magnets. Like attracts like. You get what you think about. What you focus on expands.

 

But Ya Gotta Take Action!
