Law Of Attraction Didn't Work For Me
by Mark Ivar Myhre
Over 35 years ago, at the tender age of 15, I happened upon a
book called "Think And Grow Rich".
I don't remember if it actually mentioned the Law of Attraction
by name, but it certainly covered the topic well: All I had to
do was focus - with intention, and purpose, and will - focus my
thoughts on the object of my dreams, and it MUST manifest.
I was in heaven!
Because I finally had The Answer to all my miserable problems.
All those people I despised (there were quite a few, actually)
could EAT my DUST. Maybe I would send them a postcard from
Successville...
Nah. I'll hire somebody else to do it for me. I'm not going to
dirty my hands.
In the meantime, I've got some thinking to do! (But that's just
a formality, right?) So I focused and I intended and I willed
and I thought... till the cows came home. (If you're not from
Mississippi, that means 'a long time'.) And lo-and-behold...
Nothing happened. Not even maybe.
It wasn't from lack of effort. I literally slept with that book
under my pillow. Just in case the magical information might seep
into my subconscious whilst I was sleeping.
Eventually, the book faded away and I returned to my state of
hopeless quiet despair. With the inevitable conclusion: there's
something wrong with me. I was so devastated, it would be YEARS
before I would even consider the possibility that I could improve
myself. (Imagine my glee when I found out the author, Napoleon
Hill, died poor. Now that's irony!)
Anyway, I put all my faith into a plan that failed; for numerous
reasons.
Here's a big one: My motivation was faulty.
See, I really did have a problem with my classmates at school.
They all seemed so happy. And I KNEW I was a miserable excuse
for a Starkville Mississipian.
For some strange reason, I blamed my misery on outside forces:
I blamed my peers. I blamed my parents. I blamed God. I blamed
myself. I practically blamed the hot summer winds that blew
through the tall hickory trees. Because as long as I was blaming,
I didn't have to evaluate and honestly assess the situation.
Now in my case, there really was a lot of pain that I had NO
intention of dealing with. Blame distracted me from that pain.
Too bad my blaming took so much effort. It's like using a hand
pump to pull water out of the ground so you can keep a rock wet.
You work really hard to pump up some blame, then it peters out
so quickly. So you have to pump some more. Otherwise that rock
of pain will dry out and I'll have to deal with it.
If you stop blaming, who knows what would happen? Not me.
But if I could just think and grow rich... then I'd show
everybody! Including those hickory trees. I’m pretty sure
some of them were talking about me behind my back...
So, with a motivation of revenge and validation and vindication,
I failed. Or did I? Maybe if I'd looked a little closer
(admittedly an almost impossible task at that age) I would've
seen the shifting sandy foundation I stood on, and maybe cleaned
it up a little.
At the time, I thought I only needed powerful thoughts to create
what I wanted. (And mine lacked the punch, anyway.) I thought
I
had to grit my teeth a little harder, clench my fists a little
tighter, furrow my brow a little deeper. And stare with just a
little more intensity.
I never once thought to look down at my feet - to see where I
was standing. To notice what I was pushing off from.
Motivation matters.
Now, it's usually the first thing I look at when I want to
achieve something. "Why do I want this? Let me look at my
foundation. Because that's what I'm 'attracting' reality out of."
Your foundation possesses much more power than the thoughts you
hold up and place on the shelf; like little glass figurines on
display.
The 'attraction' comes from the foundation. And NOT just the
thoughts!
So that's the real law of attraction - we 'attract' out of the
TOTALITY of our beingness - and not the tiny sliver of thoughts
that we're aware of.
So what's REALLY in that foundation of yours?
Are you sure you want to know?
