Be Clear About What You Want - Law of Attraction at Work

As a life coach, I often work with individuals who need clarity about their goals and about what they want in life. One of the most common issues within coaching is that there is a gap between where we are and where we want to be. With that in mind, one of the strategies used to help people move forward with their goals is to be able to clearly articulate whatever it is that they want to achieve. According to experts such as Napoleon Hill (author of Think and Grow Rich) hat level of clarity is fundamental in order to see results.

The principles of positive thinking have been around for a while, and those who practice it recommend it as a sure way to get the results we want in every aspect of life. I recently attended a workshop that reminded me of how powerful it is when we think and claim the life we want.

The discussion centered around very simple principles:

a. Ask for what you want; clearly and simply: spell it out

b. Add emotion to it! Allow your whole self to feel what it will be like when whatever you want happens for you.

c. Allow it to happen; be there to let it manifest itself

One of the recommendations made, which I have practiced for years and recommend to all my clients is to write down the things that we want. There is so much power in writing those wishes, desires and plans down! It is almost like you make a contract by designing it the way you specify it. The only trap here is to be cautious not to undermine ourselves by creating confusing environments consisting of mixed messages.

For instance, do not wish you can get a management position at the local company while telling yourself that you will not get it because you are too old for that or that the competition is too hard. Do not draw a goal to lose 30 lbs while thinking that you will never do it because this or that illness runs in your family or that every woman in your family is large, hence you must not have been created to be smaller than you are.

If in fact this is your approach, then my thoughts are related to living your life under your own terms. If you are content with what you have or with who you have become, then that is your choice but by all means, take control and own your situation. Do not fall victim of your own thinking or predisposed ideas.

However, if on the other hand you realize that you do not like where you are at this point of your life, then you have the power to change and take control of your destiny. It is not to say that there are some obstacles out there, or that it will be easy; yet, you have to forget about those things and start with you. If you have the right attitude about any challenging situation, the right actions and behaviors will follow. It is that simple.
