As mentioned in a previous article, the fundamental principle of the law of attraction is the belief that life energy attracts like energy. This means that if a person is emitting positive vibes they will draw good things to them and if they are emitting negative vibes they will draw bad things to them.

“You are a living magnet, attracting what you want.”

You have seen this principle in practice before. Have you ever known someone who was always upbeat and positive and seemed to be too lucky to be true? On the flip side, you have certainly known someone who loved to complain and look on the darker sides of life that always seemed to have something new to complain about because things were always going wrong in their life. These examples show people attracting the results of the energy they are giving off.

“Remember, you attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted.” Michael J. Losier

Does this mean that all of the bad things that happen to you in this life are because you subconsciously wanted them to? This is one of the most common arguments against the concept of the law of attraction and it often the hardest to refute because people have not yet recognized that the law of attraction is not a pipe dream or something that someone dreamed up while sitting on their porch one hot summer night. It is a fact of life, and its effects are far reaching.

In answer to your question, no, not everything bad that happens in your life is a result of you subconsciously wishing for it to happen. Sometimes it is a result of someone else wishing for it to happen. To quote an example from a website pertaining to the law of attraction, a child or a spouse who is abused is not abused because they wished for this abuse to happen. This abuse happened because the abuser allowed their negative thoughts concerning their child or spouse to creep across their subconscious until they eventually began to dictate their actions.

The mind is a powerful thing, and where the mind goes the feet will soon follow. The foundation of any success you are going to encounter in lie is not the ability of your physical body to overcome the obstacles but of your mind to believe that a way lies around them. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Where your mind can believe that there is a way for the body to achieve its heart’s desire, a way does exist. Thus is your supreme power of mind!

“Mind over body!” This was the phrase that I used to hear from my superiors while having my long distance run during my national service in army. What the phrase meant was to use my mind to control my physical body. How? By focusing on the finishing line and how fast I would be reaching the spot, my mind in a way got my body going even though I might not have that kind of stamina. Yes, the mind is indeed powerful and it can be powerful in many other areas other than a long distance jog. However, mind power is useful only when you believe in it and know how to use it.

1. Believe in the Power Of Mind
Can a skeptical person make good use of something he or she doesn’t believe in? No and never! When you do not have the belief in the power of mind, naturally you won’t have any confidence in it, let alone testing it out. Only when you believe in it and recognize its existence will the rest of the techniques work.

2. Fill Your Mind With Positive Thoughts Only
How can you be striving towards your dream when your mind is constantly complaining and moaning? When your mind keep on telling you that you don’t have what it takes to succeed, you will soon lose the confidence in yourself and ultimately give up. Hence, fill your mind with only positive thoughts; thoughts which give you the happiness, confidence and energy. We can be facing with problems almost everyday and instead of complaining about it or evading it; we take them up as challenges which we believe strongly can be deal with easily and confidently.

3. Develop Affirmations
Always comes up with positive statements about yourself.  For instance, if you are into sales and to develop your self-confidence in this line, you may come up with a statement like ‘I am going to be the top salesperson.” Constantly repeat the statement a few times a day to yourself and in no time, you will feel the power arising in you.

4. Set and visualize your goals
I emphasize a lot on setting clear goals and visualize them constantly. When you know very clearly where you are heading and hence your progress, it gives you that sense of accomplishment and the motivation to go on. Constantly visualize your dreams like you are looking into the future and your mind will start to pick it up as real. When all seems so real, your mind gets you to work towards your dream industriously. This is how great your mind power is.

No matter what kind of dreams you have, they can be accomplished with the use of your mind power. You must believe in the power of your mind prior to applying the rest of the effective techniques to unleashed you great mind power.
