How to get What You Really, Really Want

Posted on Jan 25, 2009 in happiness | 1 comment

I started studying the Law of Attraction about two years ago when The Secret was such a hit. Like most, I tried all their tricks but I wasn’t winning the lottery or magically thinking up the Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

What I didn’t realize at the time is that my intentions were coming from a place of negativity and desperation. As the Law of Attraction rightly points out, our thoughts create and bring to us whatever we think about. I was putting desperate energy into the world, so that’s what I got in return.

It took me a long time before I realized that I needed was to infuse my life with positive energy. I started by telling myself little affirmations while running like “I love life, life loves me” or “Life is smooth and easy”. Each positive thought was a planted seed.

Then I started a Gratitude Journal which was like going from 10mph to 100mph. My life completely changed. Instead of living out of fear for the worse, I was confident, positive, and eager for what lies ahead. The more grateful I was, the more life gave me to be grateful about.

My intentions went from “wishes” to “soul goals”. Instead of wishing to win the lottery, I wanted to do something that is the highest and best interest for me and those around me. To give back.

Then the magic happened. I started new and rewarding projects, created the Gratitude Journal for the iPhone, met amazing people all over the globe, attracted new business opportunities, and my relationships are at an all time high.

If you have been trying to manifest change and your life, and it’s not happening, ask yourself, “Is this coming from a positive place or out of fear and desperation?” Fixing that can open the flood gates to a very prosperous life.

    Dear Carla, when I read your post I felt like you were talking about me and the way I feel. I am one of the millions (I think) that have watched The secret and felt that their lives were about to change, and then…. nothing happened. I believe my problem has everything to do with what you say here, the place from where my intentions have been coming all this time is DESPERATION, and that’s exactly what’s been growing in my life. I’m now in that place where i can’t take it anymore, so I’m going to try to change the way I see life, and I will try to create a new place fill with gratitude and peace for my intentions to grow.
    I really truly thank you for sharing your life with others like me. I hope my English is not too bad, I say hi from Ecuador. LOL
    BTW, how a person gets to be as wise as you? I want that for me :o )
