Show Notes
Here is an outline of what you can expect from this podcast episode. Listen to the podcast if you can, as I go into more detail which will help you.
I’m Frustrated… Why Isn’t This Working?
- Today’s episode is about clarification, and it was inspired by a listener
- Several weeks ago, a listener sent me a message to thank me for this podcast
- She let me know that, although she always practiced the law of attraction, my podcasts helped her learn how to understand it and apply it better
- In an ensuing dialogue, she let me know that the law of attraction has been attracting wonderful results in the areas of health, wealth, and career success… she also let me know that she is ready to meet her soul mate but needs to learn how to apply the law of attraction to relationships
- As I read her message, I can identify where her vibration is not congruent with her desire… I’ll review that in just a moment
- Before I go into this, I want to point out that the title of this episode begins with “I’m frustrated”… the listener that inspired this episode did not mention whether or not she is frustrated, nor did she ask why it isn’t working
- The reason I titled this episode the way I did, is because the subject matter that we are about to review will directly help people who are frustrated as they try to apply the law of attraction without achieving the results they so desire
- Getting back to the listener, I’d like to share the message that I received from her earlier this week:
Hi again Scott- I wanted to get some advice from you… I have become aware that my problem is lack and belief specifically for my “husband”. I don’t have this issue of lack and belief in other areas.
I know how to solve lack (I think) and that is to be happy with myself and not dwell on the fact that I don’t have it. I know I have to [be] happy with or without it- do you suggest anything else when it comes to using the law of attraction to attract my husband? And what is it I can do more of to really believe it?
(I am using my vision board as a tool, I end the night and begin the day with what I am grateful for, and I try to daydream and imagine my husband). Maybe I am not doing it enough?
Let me know what you think.
- Let’s take a closer look at what she is saying in her letter, and I’ll address each part directly to her.
I have become aware that my problem is lack and belief specifically for my “husband”. I don’t have this issue of lack and belief in other areas.
- You are aware that your vibration is one of lack and you are aware that it is most likely caused by your beliefs on the subject. You is on the right track! Specifically, you are aware, and you are working on it.
I know how to solve lack (I think) and that is to be happy with myself and not dwell on the fact that I don’t have it. I know I have to happy with or without it
- We don’t solve lack, as your attention to it brings it to you. Furthermore, “not dwelling” is also putting attention on that which you do not desire… we cannot “not dwell” (or exclude) anything in our inclusion based universe… your attention to anything brings it to you, whether you want it or not.
Do you suggest anything else when it comes to using the law of attraction to attract my husband? And what is it I can do more of to really believe it?
- It’s good that you recognize you are not quite believing it, and you are seeking ways to move towards that belief.
- Believing it is more about believing in the fairy tale.
- Try saying “wouldn’t it be nice if_________”.
- You will find yourself feeling better, and indication that you have stopped resisting and started attracting your desire.
I am using my vision board as a tool, I end the night and begin the day with what I am grateful for, and I try to daydream and imagine my husband
- Let’s dig in here a little too… vision boards are a tool, so make sure you are using it correctly. If not, you are better off not using it at all (or at least for the time being). Vision boards are to be used to help you get into vibrational alignment… if, however, when you look at your board you become aware of what you do not have, then your board is not helping because it is holding you in a pattern of resistance. You will always know if it is helping or hindering by your emotions. If you feel lonely, impatient, or discouraged (or any other negative emotion), then your vision board is not helping because your attention when you look at your vision board is bringing you to a place of lack. But if you feel excited, hopeful, or optimistic (or any other positive emotion), then your vision board is helping you attract your desire.
- It is a great habit to end your night and begin your day with thoughts of gratitude. Just be sure that you are feeling positive emotions to be sure your focus is on things you truly are grateful for.
- Daydreaming and imagination are also awesome tools for creation and manifestation. Just be aware that there are times where too much detail can hinder your creating. To be clear, generally, the more vivid the detail, the better… as long as it does not induce negative thoughts. It is possible to get so detailed that it may challenge your belief system. Pay attention to your emotions.
- The principles of the law of attraction are simple, yet applying them are not always easy… there is a difference between simple and easy
- For example, if someone wanted to lose weight, the formula is simple: eat proper portions, do not eat too late, and exercise daily. Simple yes, but not easy.
- The law of attraction is simple too: whatever you think about and believe will manifest into your experience
- The work that we do, and the subject of most of my podcast episodes are about how to become aware of our thoughts, how to direct our thoughts, and how to develop belief
- These things can all be accomplished, and once you do, you can and will be, do, or have anything you desire
- Some things are easier for us to believe, based on our experiences in life
- Some things are easier to focus on
- This listener has given us an example of both
- For instance, she set out on a path to create her desired level of health and wealth. She made a decision, and she was not bogged down by negative beliefs in these areas, rendering them easier… and she would have known that by her emotions. I gather she was feeling hopeful, or some other positive emotion (whether stronger or weaker) as she tackled her objectives. Her belief was there.
- The difference between want and need
- In a previous email, she stated:
“I have proven to myself that it [the law of attraction] works, but I need to learn how to now apply it to relationships”
- Her choice of words was not an arbitrary accident…
- And by the way, there is no difference in how the law of attraction is applied to relationships vs. anything else… it’s 100% consistent, and works the same way for everything
- Her vibration on the subject of relationships is one of lack, and the law of attraction is bringing her more of what she is vibrating – lack
- There is a huge difference between a “want” and a “need”
- Let me give you an example of how important this is
- This can apply to anything…
- Let’s hypothetically look at two people who set out to learn to play guitar
- Person 1 decides to learn to play guitar and can see himself on stage entertaining people
- Person 2 decides to learn to play guitar because it’s “cool” to be a guitar player
- Person 1 wants to play guitar, where person 2 needs to play… please don’t pick apart my choice of example here, you may be thinking that person 2 doesn’t need to play, but when you look deeper, the need to play may actually be the need for validation or acceptance… there’s no real desire to play guitar
- Can you see the difference between the vibrations (the point of attraction) of these two people?
- Person 1 wants to read guitar magazines, go to music stores, and practice playing
- Person 2 has no desire for any of these things, not eve even to practice… it’s more of a chore
- The difference is the excitement in the journey
- An unhappy journey cannot lead to a happy end… you must enjoy the process
- Person 1 wants to learn guitar and can already see himself as an entertainer
- Person 2 wants only to be recognized as a guitar player
- Can you imagine if Pablo Picasso did not want to paint, but only wanted to recognized as a painter?
- People who are successful in their field have a driving passion
- They love what they are doing… sure, they also enjoy the fruits of their passion
- When your desire comes from within, everything begins to fall into place easily and begins to manifest quickly
- If you are not feeling the passion, you’ll need to work on your belief (yes, there are things you can do to get there)
- If you want to be rich, but you have no desire to go through the process of building a career or business, you are just not likely to get there
- If you want to be healthy, but you have no desire to take those actions, then you are not likely to get there
- If you want to be in a happy relationship, but you have no desire to happy first, then you are not likely to get there
- To help your belief and desire grow, think about the pleasures and joys of living your dream… work on that vibration
- When you begin to believe it, then you will become inspired… you will really begin to enjoy the thought of becoming!
- If you have been wanting to be a great cook, by focusing your thoughts on what that feels like, and getting into alignment, you will soon be inspired to learn to cook and take course, and actually enjoy the process (the journey)
