Harnessing the Law of Attraction in 5 Easy Steps

In the early 1900's Andrew Carnegie, founder of US Steel and the world's wealthiest man at the time, commissioned Napoleon Hill to study the successful people of their time and discover traits common to them and instrumental in their successes. The results of Napoleon's 20 year study culminated in the renowned book "Think and Grow Rich."
Amongst the people that Napoleon interviewed were the following "mega-successful" people of the time: Thomas Edison ,Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, John D. Rockefeller, Charles M. Schwab, George Eastman, William Wrigley, William Taft
There were many things that these amazing people all had in common, but one in particular, was that they all utilized the Law of Attraction. Popularized by the book/documentary, "The Secret", the Law of Attraction (LOA) essentially states that what you think about comes about. Earl Nightingale's "The Strangest Secret" states it this way: "You become what you think about." In other words, you can bring events, things and circumstances into your life simply by relentlessly thinking about them. I have personally studied and practiced the LOA in my own life for many years and have broken it down to the following simple steps:

1) THINK IT

Think relentlessly and exactly about what you want. Be specific. Create a vivid picture of it in your mind. Don't worry about how.

2) FEEL IT

Generate the feeling of having what you want with childlike excitement. Create the experience of actually having it in your mind and heart. Get emotional! Generate emotions to such an extent that you feel like you actually DO have it.

3) BE GRATEFUL

Be grateful for being able to generate exactly what you want, that you have a life that you can fill with amazing experiences.

4) DISREGARD NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Your mind is likely to dwell on the reasons that you won't get what you want. It's OK. It's natural. Simply acknowledge them and replace them with positive thoughts. Think about what you want, NOT about what you don't want.

5) TAKE ACTION

Speak about what you want. Talk to people. Be on the lookout for opportunities. Take actions consistent with actually having what you want. I've had many amazing experiences using the LOA, but I'd like to share one in particular that created the Arabian horse business of my dreams in a short amount of time. About 7 years ago, I met my future business partner who was interested in starting an Arabian horse breeding business. As an animal lover, I was captivated by the idea. Apart from being around gorgeous animals, I was interested in the business of breeding Arabian horses. How much can they sell for? Who pays the big money for them? I discovered that Arab Sheikhs, amongst others, will pay millions of dollars for high quality Arabian horses. Although we had no idea how we were going to do it, we declared that we were going to sell our horses to Arab Sheikhs for a large and specific dollar amount.
