The Law of Attraction: Stop begging - start manifesting!

The Law of Attraction: Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched The Secret? I clearly remember being filled with desire knowing that at last I too can make my dreams come true!

But how many of you (me included) soon saw that hope dwindle into frustration? How many of you (and be honest now) started muttering things like:


- “It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it right.”
- “I’m frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I can’t. What’s the trick?”
- “Why am I having so much trouble?”
- “I think the universe is against me.”
- “I’m trying very, very hard but still nothing is happening!”


You are not alone. About 97% of people also couldn’t make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round. Think about it, just like learning the violin, you have to practice many times before you see success. A child doesn’t learn to walk without falling over a couple of times, right?

In reality, everything is easier said than done. It is hard to stay positive when you’re frustrated. It is especially hard to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screams negativity.

What happens when you fail to stay positive? That’s right – you start attracting negative things in to your life.

How then can you make the Law of Attraction work for you – without getting frustrated? How do those who successfully implement the Law of Attraction do it with such confidence and finesse?
Here are three quick tips so you will never feel frustrated or tired of begging from the universe, because you know how to start manifesting.

1. Allow Yourself to Receive
Just like a lost child who approaches a police officer and asks, “Excuse me can you tell me how to get to the post office? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?” Well, if the child carries on asking incessantly, the police officer can’t get a word in to answer question?

It is the same with your mind. If the only thing your mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe — which is trying to respond — can’t give you a single thing because you’re not allowing yourself to receive!

Be confident in yourself and stop exhausting yourself by running around from one person to the next begging for riches, and then wondering why nobody is dropping a penny in your cup Could it be because you’re running away from them so quickly you don’t give them time to reach for their wallets?

Just think of your desires and leave it out there, go away, and trust that your cup will be filled with gold coins (or whatever it is you asked for) when the time is right.

2. Be Patient with Yourself
Receiving takes time.

Sadly, many people give up just a couple of steps before the finish line because they’ve decided that if it’s not working by now, it’s never going to work at all. Worse still are those who throw in more and more energy because they think that with more resources, the results will come faster.

You can’t bake biscuits in half the time by doubling the oven’s temperature. You’ll incinerate those cookies to ashes!

In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you throw at it.

So, relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe, and you cannot change the natural development time. If you remember this, you will be less likely to get frustrated, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral of negativity.

3. Support and Educate Yourself
Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You also need guidance on how to do it, and have role models to look up to.

Many people give up because they think that The Secret is the be all and end all solution. It’s not. The Secret is just a small portion. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.

Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work when all you ever did to educate yourself was watch The Secret 19 times (without looking at changing the habits of other areas of your life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all you did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day but you’re still stuffing yourself with fried foods and cheesecakes.

So seek and be hungry for new knowledge. Make an effort to be amongst people or communities where you can support each other, learn from each other and also share new knowledge that you have found.

While the Law of Attraction is not an overnight delivery service, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part.
