This weekend, Labor Day Weekend here in the United States of
America is always my birthday weekend. In the traditional office job setting
here in America, this is also a three-day weekend. There are many options on
how to spend my time. I might choose to travel with my friends. I might choose
to work. I might choose to spend it alone. The choices are plentiful and all of
them are lovely. I am blessed with a deep love for all these things: a loving
family, amazing friends, lovely alone time, beautiful travel experiences, and a
captivating career. This year, in 2020, I chose to spend my birthday with my
family.
My family and I did not do anything terribly exciting. We played
cards. We did puzzles. We played board games. We cooked. We drank. We watched
TV. We sat through a movie. We took photos and videos. We talked about our
past. We discussed our future. We were hard on each other. We were loving
toward each other. We had philosophical discussions on differing opinions. We
spent time together. Overall, it was a somewhat typical experience visiting my
family.
And, I loved every minute of it.
One of the important discussions I had this weekend centered
around success principles, our Divine Purpose, and the Law of Attraction. The
debate was with a family member relatively new to studying the philosophies
behind the Law of Attraction, and the gripe was with the metaphysical gurus in
that they avoid discussing why "bad people" who do "bad
things" attract to themselves a great deal of financial wealth and power
through "bad means." The question was this, "Why - if the Law of
Attraction is based on the principles of energy - do bad people gain a great
deal of wealth?"
This is a great and important question! While I feel we each must
draw our own conclusions, I do have an answer that works well for me.
Financial prosperity and the power it gains is not the same as
wealth. Ill-gotten financial gain and power is not prosperity. Money alone is
not wealth. If I have to constantly look over my shoulder, not trust anyone
with my truth (or money), be in constant fear for my life or for the life of my
loved ones, or if I have to lie, cheat, steal, harm, or kill my way to
financial gain, I am not truly wealthy, am I? Plus, it is my belief and
experience that corrupt money and power is always fleeting. That said, I
also believe the Law of Attraction is always working.
To me, wealth is more than money and power. To me, wealth is my
experience this past weekend. To me, time freedom to take a trip on my birthday
weekend is wealth. To me, being connected with people who love and respect each
other, no matter what their belief differences are, is a wonderful example of a
wealthy life. To me, pursuing excellence within myself and experiencing a
reflection of that excellence in the world around me is wealth.
Your next question might be about gaining financial wealth. Do I
want to attract to my experience more financial prosperity? YES! Do I want to
attract financial prosperity in a way that lifts others in the process? YES! Of
course, I do.
This is where Divine Purpose in conjunction with the Law of
Attraction comes into play.
If I focus my perspective on those who gain financial wealth
through chaos, mayhem, and deceit, guess what experience I will attract. Yep!
All sorts of examples to prove my belief correct - ways in which financial
wealth comes through deceitful and chaotic means. If I am the chaos, mayhem,
and deceit creator, while I may gain wealth and power, I will also attract the
chaos, mayhem, and deceit I put into the world back into my own experience. (Think
gangs and mobsters.)
If I focus my perspective on those who gain financial wealth
through serving (my view of) the greater good of humankind, I attract to my
experience the people, events, and things that are in alignment with what I believe
to be true. If my own financial gain is legitimately founded through positive
intentions and love for my fellow human, I will experience a life filled with
the same – positive intentions and love. (Think Jack Canfield, co-creator of
the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series.)
Therein lies the Law of Attraction challenge: we have free will.
The Law of Attraction does not distinguish between what is
"good" or "bad", only that the means through which we gain
our desires will come back to us. (Think karma.) It may not be in the timeframe
you define as desirable, but karma always works, too, because karma’s
foundation is the Law of Attraction.
I do not believe in what Adolf Hitler believed, but Hitler
absolutely believed himself to be correct and justified in his acts. The proof
that the Law of Attraction is always working is in Hitler's own death and in
the legacy he left behind. What he put out into his world, he received back to
himself - an untimely death and a permanent place on the world history
villain's list. Obviously, his own death does not absolve him of the millions
of lives he and his regime took.
My point about the Law of Attraction is that the power of it is in
the eye of the beholder: you get what you give.
When I follow my Divine Purpose using the Law of Attraction and share
my knowledge, living authentically, truthfully, and whole-heartedly in service,
I receive what I want faster and in a harmonious way. When I am in a constant
state of gratitude and I consistently add to my education in order to express
my truth for the greater good of all, I gain clients who are a pleasure to work
with and who will pay me well for my insight. By treating others the way I wish
to be treated; by tapping into Source and speaking from a place of wisdom, I
attract the coworkers and the events that align with my bliss for wealth and
abundance.
Does living my Divine Purpose mean I will never face obstacles?
No. However, it does mean I will likely react differently to the challenges I
face than someone who is not living in alignment with their Divine Purpose
might. It means I will look for the lesson and adjust my behavior or beliefs.
It definitely means I will experience a far less "bumpy" road than
someone else might under the same or similar circumstances.
Law of Attraction is always
working. You are in charge of your experience. If you choose to see a blessing
where there is also a curse, and you focus on the blessing… releasing the
energy from the curse, you will experience a life full of blessings.
Try it. Live it. Love it. Here’s
to your Divine Purpose and creating a Law of Attraction experience that propels
you into the life you know is your destiny.
If you have trouble figuring
out “how” to implement any of these strategies on your own, I can help you hire
a coach to help. What are you waiting for? How long are you willing to wait –
another week, month, or year? Finding you a great coach is an area I thrive in knowing.
And, you pay nothing for my recommendation service (the coach you hire does).
