In the '80s, the United Negro College Fund ran a series of television and radio spots with the slogan 'A mind is a terrible thing to waste.' That slogan goes beyond getting minorities into colleges, and on to every day life. Your mind is the most powerful tool you have to create the life you want. Everyone in the reach of Western Media has, by now, heard of The Secret, or The Law of Attraction. In a nutshell, whatever you positively visualize in your life, you'll achieve. Even if you don't consciously direct it, your perceptions of the world will alter how the world happens to you. People with negative attitudes draw negative events to them, and people with positive attitudes draw good fortune to them. |

Proof of this can be seen in scientific studies everywhere, in the medical world it is
known as the Placebo Effect. There is an old adage that even evokes the sentiments, 'Mind
over matter.' That means that if you don't mind it doesn't matter, and if you do mind then
it will matter. Undoubtedly you have seen people 'think' themselves sick, and you have
seen them 'think' themselves well. The power of the mind is incredible.
While the singular of data is not anecdote, there is some direct experience you've had.
How many times have you woken up in the morning thinking this was going to be a bad day,
or 'one of those days'. And then had a self-fulfilling prophecy? Welcome to the Law of
Attraction on a personal scale. It's your own mind and your own expectations sabotaging
you.
Correlation is not causation, though there are a lot of people who try to link the Law of
Attraction to some quantum mechanical effect. Going too far down this line will make your
head hurt, either from the quantum mechanics or from the way the terminology is being
misused. Ultimately, this drives into solipsism if you look at it too deeply, and that's
not what the Law of Attraction is about.
Many scientists now believe that all so called 'supernatural' powers such as esp,
telepathy, remote viewing, psychic and clairvoyant phenomena can be explained in terms of
quantum theory. In short - everything we see, hear and feel is merely a creation of our
thoughts! Nothing is solid; it is all energy and this energy has been created by the power
of our minds.
The Law of Attraction works whether you want it to or not. So focus on using it to change
your life for the better. That means thinking carefully about your attitudes, planning
ahead, and otherwise living a life of contemplation and consequence. We're going to take a
closer look at what that entails.
First you need to have a clear goal in mind. Make it a very clear goal, very precise.
Don't just make the goal having a lot of money, give that money an amount. Once you have
that in mind you need to direct every mental action towards achieving the goal. Most
importantly that direction needs to be constant, not occasional. This is difficult when
you consider the fact that in any given amount of time you have 30 different thoughts
racing through your head.
Some people are aware of the power of their mind; they focus on tasks, they set goals,
they make lists, and they follow through them. You can see them; they're the ones who
always seem to have a plan and who always focus on what's around them. Everything they do
is aimed at furthering that goal, and with their mind and will ruling their passions, they
have a palpable air of success. This success isn't difficult to emulate; it's very simple.
It just requires clarity of purpose and focus.
Touching back on the slogan of the United Negro College Fund, imagine the opportunities
that can open to you if you spend the time to get a proper education. You want to get the
degree that will open doors for you. You take the time to get into your employer's tuition
reimbursement program and you work on your class work. You focus on walking down that
aisle with a degree in hand. Everything becomes secondary to getting that education and
opening those doors to future prosperity. This is an example of the Law of Attraction in
action.
Then all of a sudden that dream house is for sale. Not only for sale, but you qualify for
the mortgage. Even better the owners accept the offer you made, you close the deal and you
are able to move into your new house in 30 days. Everything you had been doing, all of the
energy, all of the thoughts were towards getting that house and you got it.
You can do this. Stop just letting life happen to you, make it happen for you. Decide on a
small goal at first. Clearly define that goal. Do not doubt the power of your mind and you
will be amazed at what happens!
