Law of Attraction

When you first met your spouse there was probably something special about him/her that attracted the two of you together. No, it wasn’t just Cupid, Chemistry, Looks, Personality, or a spiritual prompting. Something else was also involved in this experience.  In psychology we call it the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction says that what we put out to the universe will eventually come back to us. Scriptures refer to the Law of Attraction as the Law of the Harvest or “what we sow is what we reap”. So if we are thinking negative thoughts we will most likely have negative experiences and positive thoughts will produce positive results. These laws are also true for the types of relationships that we attract. In fact the kinds of people that we associate with and the spouse that we have chosen is a product of our own use of the law of attraction.

Recently I was consulting with a woman who complained how her life was a failure because of her husband. She began explaining in detail their relationship and after a few minutes I asked her to “stop”. Then I simply asked her to raise her her hand and point her finger at her husband in the next room. I asked her how many fingers were pointed back at her. She chuckled but understood the point that she had to stop complaining and go to work on herself.

In reality the best way to attract a new relationship or improve your current relationship is to improve you. By making changes to yourself you are actually changing the perception that you see in other people. As your perception changes and you improve yourself others will want to be more like you and the Law of Attraction will come full circle.

So next time you find something in your “helpmeet”, or anyone, that you find annoying or that needs improvement; try changing your attitude. Instead of pointing the finger, try giving a compliment and/or think of 3 things that you are grateful for that person. Then pay attention to how this improves your relationship by changing your perception and attracting positive behavior back.

Remember the Law of Attraction is a law and like gravity works 24/7 whether you like it or not. Choose to either attract positive behavior and people or negative. Choose this Valentine’s Day to make a positive change and use the Law of Attraction to attract a better relationship.
