Attracting The Best in Life --- Not Every thing in
Life
How do I attract what and who I want
in my life?
Sorting out who brings us joy and what makes us feel
passion can be a challenging, and often necessary, exercise in order
to reach the successes or goals that you envision for yourself.
Begin by making two columns called: what I want to attract
and who I want to attract. When you get clear about these
two items, then you can become creative with the how of attracting
your desires.
Being attractive involves all parts of life. Most importantly,
we must feel beautiful inside, and know that we are worth every ounce
of effort that we expend on our journey.
Many “Laws of Attraction”
There are many “laws of attraction”. You can make up
your own. These are five of my favorites: (Thanks to my early coach
training with Thomas Leonard, “The Grandfather of Coaching”.)
Attractive people see perfection in the present.
Attractive people have a reserve of everything – finances, love,
time, skills, space.
Attractive people have all of their needs met.
Attractive people add value to everything they do.
Attractive people help others succeed.
Attractiveness is offering people exactly what you have instead
of trying to change yourself to give others what you think they want!
A key to marketing myself, whether business or personal, is to help
others find out what I have available right now!
STOP this minute and write five or
more things that you have available to offer
at this moment.
Becoming incredibly selfish
Another must on this path of attractiveness is becoming incredibly
selfish. “Selfishness” is awkward for us to label and
accept, because most of us were taught to take care of others first.
However – in order for us to create and reach our goals, we
need to take extremely good care of ourselves so that we will have
the stamina and spiritual health to move forward with enthusiasm.
How you will attract
Ponder the following thoughts of how you might attract what and who
you want in life.
Continue adding your own inspirations as you brainstorm your personal
“attraction plan
of action”!
1. Create your own advisory board.
Make a purposeful list of those people in your life
who support you on all levels. Let them know that you have chosen
them to be on your
motivation team. Surround yourself with positive people.
2. Think of one or more men or women
who you may not know, but admire. Why are you attracted to them?
If possible, call one or two of them and ask to chat for a few minutes.
(A tip from my own background of starting businesses—people
at top levels love to share their knowledge. When I needed specific
information, I often took my shyness in hand and eventually got through
to some powerful people who were very happy to talk with me. The advice
they gave me was pivotal to my successes.)
3. Design an “extreme self care”
program. You might need to start with tiny steps,
and this is perfectly o.k. Schedule anything that brings you pleasure
- from weekly bubble baths to regular time off pursuing your passion.
The object is to give to yourself and to start creating a reserve
of energy.
4. Fill in training and/or education
that you feel is necessary to reach your next desired level. This
has always created confidence for me, which in turn allowed me to
jump to the next steps with self-assurance.
5. Orient your life around your goals
and dreams. This may take a few months, sometimes
even years. When you are fully committed to being attractive, you
will discover that the successes you envision can be reached by one
action at a time. You are worth it. Start now!
Attraction is an investment in yourself
As you can see, there are vast dimensions involved in changing one’s
directions in life, even if you’re only looking to give it a
healthy tweak. Basically, attraction is an investment in yourself.
Enjoy the process of becoming attractive! It’s a fun adventure
and has incredibly positive outcomes, even though we never know exactly
what the results might be in advance.
Treat yourself as the
most important person in the universe. This life is a journey and
we are never sure where the path will lead, so gift yourself with
whatever you need to live your passion along the way.
