Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is very attractive at the moment. The resurgence of Think and Grow Rich, The Secret and The Secret behind The Secret are all gaining a broader audience now. I am not sure what I think about these things personally however I do like two concepts from Hindu philosophy, non-attachment and single pointed attention.

Of course these elements may seem to be at odds with each other and can leave the reader confused. How can I be non-attached and yet give something single pointed focus or attention. As Tony Robbins says, we get what we focus on.

I like what Deepak Chopra says, which in my words is to give something your total focus and then let it go. Put your thought out there and do not be attached to it.

From my own experience this appears to be true. When I focus on being successful and let go of what it means to be successful then my business thrives from moment to moment. And in those moments that I am concerned as to the measure of success or where new business may come from coincide with less fruitful periods.

It is actually quite easy to track successful periods as this leads to resourceful behaviours and so more attractive situations.

Conversely times of scarcity show up in the being and is rewarded with scarcity, an ever downward spiral.

What this does not explain is that recently I have focused and let go and yet I am manifesting business offers from remote sources that in some cases I have not connected with for some time.

It is all welcomed as a gift. I do hope that I can give back.
