Pitfalls With The Law of Attraction And How To Avoid Them


by Colin Joss

There is a wonderful book out there called “Your Invisible Power” by Genevieve Behrend. In this book she talks about how a person needs to really be able to understand the control they have over their own life. It is very possible to path that future with positive things you want to see happen to you. By incorporating the Law of Attraction you will certainly be able to have a happy and successful life.

Wishes become horses so beggars can fly! The thoughts we have become manifest whether they are positive or negative. The Universe always delivers.

Some people find that the Law of Attraction is to difficult to control so the give up right away. They would rather let things continue to just happen to them than to work for what they really want to see take place. Yet for those that are dedicated to sticking with it, they can really make it work for them. They can find those positive forces of energy out there that will bring good things their way. In order to do this though you have to be able to avoid some of the most common pitfalls.

1. What is your goal?

This needs to be very precise and not just vague. While your goals will likely change as your life changes you are going to always need to have established goals. Change them though based on what is going on in your life and where you want to be.

A child would wish for a big car, a nice house - all the tangibles they can see with the ‘happy’ people around them.

A teenager would wish for lots of money to do all the things they want and of course a great looking person of the opposite sex to do those things with

Those that are up in age have hopefully lived a very long and happy life with the Law of Attraction. As a result they are reaching for peace for other people they see. They also want to be as healthy as possible to enjoy the rest of their lives.

2. Failing to break the goal down into smaller pieces.

For the older generation they often just want to stay healthy and they want others around them to be able to enjoy life.

2.List the stepping stones you will need to cross to reach your goal.

It is important to realize that there are plenty of small things you are going to need to accomplish before you reach that ultimate goal. Since we can’t control all of the things that take place around us, we have to be as positive as we can with what takes place.

Just as you need to really evaluate your overall goal, you need to evaluate the road you are taking to get there. Think of it as you would a road trip somewhere. If your final destination changes then you are going to need to take another exit so you end up there.

3. Are you focusing enough on your goal?

It can be very easy to get off course and to stop thinking about your goal when life throws in some unexpected curves. It is important to do all you can get yourself back into the routine of reaching for that goal. You may not be able to do so for a while depending on the situation. Yet knowing you can easily reach out there for it is important and needs to be a priority in your life.

Everyone is going to have times when they have positive energy and then times when they have negative energy. While the overall goal should be to generate positive energy all the time it isn’t going to happen. No one has the power to do that all the time. Pay close attention to what your sources of negative energy are though so you can remove them from your life.

4.Be aware of your energies

Our energies, positive or negative are controlled by our ‘well-being’ It is very difficult if not impossible to remain positive and radiate positive energies when things are falling around you or when you are surrounded by a pool of negative energies. Just as you are radiating energies that are attracting others of similar energy, others around you are also radiating energies, energies that could be stronger than yours.

That brings us to the next common pitfall with the Law of Attraction. We aren’t alone in this world by any means. That being said, what other people do and say is going to have some affect on you. The goal should be to surround yourself with others who are full of positive energy. They are going to help you to stay positive as well. You can turn to them for support when you are letting some types of negative energy get to you.

We aren’t on this world by ourselves and that means our lives are going to cross paths with many different people out there. We have to be ready for those that display negative energy. We can’t let them stand in the way of our goals we have set for ourselves. You will really have to be careful of this as many of us do have friends, co-workers, and family members that always seem to circulate negative energy.

It can be difficult at times though as you may not have all of the pieces to make everything fit. So you have a choice though to put as much of that puzzle together as you can and see how it materializes. You also have the choice to let negativity take over and decide the puzzle isn’t worth making as you already know there are pieces missing.

If you are filling yourself with positive energy though, you can easily visualize what those missing pieces are going to look like. You can have an image in your mind that makes it complete. As you are forming the pieces you do have, you will need to continue visualizing these missing pieces. That is what is going to help you get to the overall goal you have been reaching for.

You are given the image but it is incomplete or unclear. You would form a mental picture on what the image should be, based on the part of the image that you can decipher. But as you work on the puzzle and the pieces begin to fit, you may find that once you have all the pieces in place, the image is quite different from what you thought it was.

Since you often won’t have all of the pieces to the complete puzzle, Faith has to be present for the Law of Attraction to really work. It is unrealistic to believe that you are going to have all the pieces you need to move forward. This is a very common pitfall that too many people just can’t seem to get past. They don’t want to believe in something that is still in an abstract format. You will have to decide if you are willing to be focused enough to let your Faith help you go get past it.

As Winston Churchill: said , “During their lifetimes, every man and woman will stumble across a great opportunity. Sadly, most of them will simply pick themselves up, dust themselves down and carry on as if nothing ever happened”

How your own life plays out is entirely up to you. There is certainly plenty of negative energy out there that you can sit back and allow to swallow you whole. You can also choose to fight for some positive energy though and to make the most out of your life. It can be a long journey for those that are absorbed in nothing but negative energy. Those that surround themselves with the positive though can enjoy life to the fullest. In order to do this successfully though you have to be realistic. You have to be willing to see what is right in front of you and transform it into something good.

The time to start applying the Law of Attraction to your own life though is right now. Don’t put it off as you are letting quite an opportunity go by that you really want to take advantage of. Don’t let those negative thoughts and feelings prevent you from giving it a try.

None of this can be accomplished with out dedication, motivation, and some risk though. As Joan Curcio puts it, you must jump right in there and see what it is all about. If you are too afraid to get your hands dirty or to fail then you are never going to be able to reach those stars you desperately want to touch.
