What if, instead of giving attention to all the bad news, we started paying attention to Love and a sleepy childthe good news and the good feelings?

According to the Law of Attraction, we'd start getting more Good News and more good feelings.

What if, instead of thinking about the 20% or so of the population that is currently unemployed, we thought about the people who still have good jobs?

What if, instead of thinking about the people who have gone through foreclosure or short sales and can't buy a new home for a while, real estate agents started thinking about the people who have cash in the bank and are ready to buy?

What if, instead of thinking about all the terrible things our politicians are doing, we started noticing a few good things that they do. (I know, we'll have to search, but surely there are a few good things.)

What if, instead of cursing B of A and other big banks, we start noticing and talking about the small banks that are doing right by their customers?

And what if, instead of giving our energy to competitors who are nasty, we started appreciating those who are kind, helpful, and hard-working?

What if, instead of thinking about what went wrong with a listing presentation, you think about what went right in some other presentation?

What if, instead of thinking about those buyers who wasted a week of your time before deciding not to buy, you think about those other ones - the ones who chose the home they wanted, sailed through the financing, and caused a nice check to land on your desk?

What if you take a look around at the people you love - and take the time to let the good feelings of love wash over you?

I've been consciously using the Law of Attraction in my own life - and I am seeing some amazing results. The first of which is that I am happier than I've ever been. In addition, it's been good for business and good for all the relationships in my life.

So I challenge you to do an experiment - If the news of the world and the economy have gotten you down,  take a minute today to look around, see the people, situations, and things you like and appreciate, and give some attention to them. Then stop and think for a few minutes about your successes, even if they're small.

See if you don't feel a whole lot better as you go on with the day.

If you do it again tomorrow and the next day, you'll see more to like every day. (It's the law.)

And you'll feel better and better.

Chris.. I've always been a believer in negativity breeds negativity.. and this is why as a whole we are in a whirlpool and being sucked down. 

My New's Years resolution this year was to be more positive... Smile at people, hold doors open, say "hi", "good morning"..etc, getting back to basics.. and being nice more.. it seems to be working.

Experience is not expensive. It is Priceless!

I have been focusing on more of the positive and encouraging others to do the same.

Praise and Raise!

What you are thankful for grows!

Thanks for the post!

Marte: I agree with and appreciate your post.  I have not read the 'Law of Attraction' book, but I use the principles you wrote about in my life - always have.  I truly believe that's how I came to be a successful business owner.  THANK YOU for blogging about it......very important topic!

Chris, good blog to repost as there is a tremendous amount of merit to this!  I have been practicing the law of attraction for years and it totally works. People who tend to be more negative just look at me sometimes and think I'm a Pollyanna, but it totally works for me!
