Today I came across a great blog post, entitled “Is the Law of Attraction that important?“. In this post, the author questions the need for the Law of Attraction because it seems that most people are just using it to get things. And the author suggests that instead of just getting more stuff, we just need to learn to appreciate what we have and learn to be happy.
I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I used to be one of those people who used the Law of Attraction for getting more stuff, new relationships, etc. The reason I wanted more stuff – the new house, new car, new gadgets, better relationships, more money, etc. – is because I thought that once I received these things, I would be happier and more fulfilled. Unfortunately even after manifesting what I wanted, my happiness didn’t last. As soon as I got what I wanted, that initial ‘high’ eventually faded and I would search for the next best thing.
I believe this is why most people are using the Law of Attraction for getting stuff. They’ve come to believe that feeling joy, feeling love, feeling successful, feeling what they want is a result of getting things. And so they keep on getting things in hopes of feeling happier, loved and more fulfilled in their lives.
Unfortunately this is an endless cycle and I’m writing about it here to help you break the pattern. Lasting happiness cannot come from things outside you. It must come from within. We must choose it for ourselves. In this way, we will always be happy no matter what the circumstances are.
At first, it may be difficult because we are so used to basing our happiness on everything around us. But if you really want to be happier, you need to become more aware of these habits. Otherwise you will continue to experience a roller coaster of emotions. Not fun!
So, see if you can be happy today no matter what. Just decide to be happy

Does this mean that the Law of Attraction is completely worthless?
Absolutely not!
But it’ll have to wait until tomorrow. I’ll share how to use the properties of the Law of Attraction as a tool to change your life.
Now go create a joyful day!

Like nearly everything, the Law Of Attraction takes some work on the part of the user. There are tons of tools out there that work really great, but many don’t follow through to implement. That’s where a life coach can help — applying a little “tough love” if needed to coax someone down the road to the next milestone.
