Hello again and a warm welcome to lesson two, you second part of your personal guide which I hope will help you live a happier more fulfilling life.

 

In lesson 1 we found out that “thoughts are things” and we can use them to manifest the things we want in our life! Unfortunately it is not quite as simple as that, however, stick with us and all will be explained. Also in lesson 1 we learned that we have to focus on what we want rather than what we do not want. We also learned of a shortcut to keep us on the right track, which was using our feelings. Good feeling and we are on track, bad feelings and we are going wrong somewhere. Finally we asked you to come up with some happy memories to shift your focus when things were not quite going your way.

 

In today’s lesson we are going to learn two things that are pivotal to how well you can get results using the Law of Attraction. These are Faith and Gratitude.

 

Faith

 

Whatever it is that you desire you have to have total faith that it is on its way to you. It will be either as good as or better than that which you desire. The trouble is that you can not put a time limit on how long things will take to manifest. It may seem that your desires are not manifesting or that nothing is happening, this is just the time where you need to keep your faith. It will be tempting to just give in and think nothing is happening. If you can imagine your desire as a seed you have planted. As I’m sure you will know it takes time for the seed to germinate and then start to grow. You might think nothing is happening, but, the seed could be just about to break through the surface. If you were to stop watering it at that point, the seed could die. The same theory can be applied to manifesting. You must remain to have faith that you desires are on their way to you.

 

Now faith is not something that you can prove scientifically, in fact the Law of Attraction is something that we have to take pretty much on faith. Now faith is something which more often than not is applied to religion. Whatever religion you are or whether you believe that there is a higher power; you must have faith that this higher power or your God is going to deliver for you.

 

Gratitude

 

Another spiritual part of the Law of Attraction is gratitude. By showing gratitude for the things in life you have and receive opens up your whole being. By showing gratitude it helps you to continually expect good things. The reaction of gratitude is that it leads to faith.

 

In the DVD “The Secret” they have a “Gratuity Rock”. Now the purpose of this is something to jog your memory to remind you to think about what you are grateful for. You don’t necessarily need an actual rock; it can be any object you like. It would preferably be something that you will come across often; perhaps something you keep in your pocket. When you come across your chosen object you are to think of something you are grateful for. This keeps you focussed on your goal you are trying to manifest and open to receiving.

 

Another good tip for gratitude is to get a diary. Write in for every day things that you have to feel grateful for. It could be the sun shinning through the widow or just someone making you a cup of tea. Whenever you are feeling bad you can refer to the diary.

 

Where Should You be Now?

 

You do not necessarily need to have a clear vision of where you want to be just yet. The idea is to start small and gain your confidence. Examples can be parking spaces or green traffic lights or just being made a coffee or tea by someone at work. Try it and we will see you in lesson three.
