Law Of Attraction: 3 Tips To Manifest Your Desires
Searching for law of attraction tips that actually work is kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can find law of attraction tips all over the place, but most of them will do nothing to produce real results. You know, like more money in your bank account or finding the love of your life.
So, what are some law of attraction tips that actually will work for you?
Here are three tips that should point you in the right direction:
So, what are some law of attraction tips that actually will work for you?
Here are three tips that should point you in the right direction:
- Become absolutely clear on what you want to manifest. Clarity is one of the most important principles when using the law of attraction. Manifesting your desires becomes easier when you know how to gain clarity on what it is that you really want and shift your focus AWAY from the things that you do not want.
- Forget about the idea of manifesting out of thin air. You know, the only people that really promote this idea are those that sell products that claim to give the "magical" power to manifest your desires from absolutely nothing at all. Thing is, the law of attraction works with all the other universal laws and one of those is CAUSE and EFFECT. You have to produce a cause to get an effect.
- Everyday, take one action to move closer to your dreams. If every single day, you took at least one action towards manifesting your desires, eventually it would have to manifest. So, make it a point to take even the smallest of actions when you can. The law of attraction is all about taking action. Those that tell you otherwise would also probably want you to buy beachfront property...in Nebraska!
The law of attraction is REAL and it does work. However, you have to find the law of attraction tips that produce real results and ignore the ones that just don't work at all.

Just Laughs: Vacancy For Sheriff's Deputy
The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer, who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket, went in to try out for the job.
"Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?"
"11" he replied.
The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right. What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"
"Today and tomorrow."
The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself. "Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know." "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?"
So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

Just Laughs: The Teacher's Dead!
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say,
"There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or “That’s Michael, he's a doctor.'"
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher. She's dead."

Law Of Attraction: What is Intuition and How Do I Use it?
Intuition is an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life. Unfortunately, not many people know what it is or how to use it. The word intuition means in to you in Latin.
Florence Scovel, a theologian, once said, Intuition is the spiritual faculty that doesn't explain; it seemingly points the way. It's also been said that intuition is your divine Spirit talking to you. If you will stop for a moment and acknowledge this, you will begin to realize the incredible perspective you have at your fingertips. You have this very amazing power! And you don't even have to get any special training to start using it. All you need to do is raise your awareness about it and set your intention to harness it.
Intuitive messages range from an inkling to a strong sign or message. Your inner self is persistent and consistent. It will keep trying to get your attention until you finally wise up! An inkling is like a glimmer or passing feeling/ thought that comes from somewhere inside and usually proceeds a hunch or intuitive message. A hunch is accurate information from a higher intelligence; therefore, you can rely on it. An intuitive message ranges from hearing actual words, seeing a clear picture, or a deep inner knowing. Some people experience intuition as a feeling, others a gut reaction, others will see images or have a dream, others hear an actual message. Become familiar with how your inner self communicates with you. Once you receive the message, check it out with your research and common.
The best ways to get in touch with your intuition are:
1. Be quiet. Practice taking time out every day to experience silence. Calm your mind with traditional or active meditation. Release your need to think, analyze, and know everything. The best information comes from the deep recesses of your soul.
2. Be open Open to the gift of intuition and accept what is has to tell you. Many times, our ego thinks it has it ?all figured out,? but your true path may look very different than the one you are on. Being open to new possibilities and ways of living is key.
3. Be creative There are many ways to be creative, painting, writing, dancing, designing a website, etc. Do something that helps you get into the flow, that place where time seems to fly by and the work is leading you. Creativity is an expression of your soul and goes hand-in-hand with intuitive guidance.
4. Ask questions When you ask yourself questions, you gain additional insight and clarity. When you ask a question like ?What is the next step I need to take?? know that you already know what you need to know. Trust yourself. You already have everything you need inside.
5. Journal When you write, you tap into thoughts, feelings, ideas and direction that you are not consciously awareof. Writing allows the truth to come forth and is an easy way to gain insight from your inner self.
You can further develop your intuitive guidance by preparing yourself by gathering the necessary information and experiences to provide more of an opportunity for your intuition to surface. Intuition cannot be forced; you need to allow it. After loading up your mind with information about the issue, give your intuition time to work on it. And then become open to the answer. You will likely experience an Aha moment, which is a moment of instant awareness, where the answer sprouts from out of the blue? If you have an important decision to make and are not 100% sure about something happening, stop and think before making a decision. Usually this is your intuition trying to tell you that something is not quite right. Likewise, if you feel that you should go for it, do it, so you don't miss a valuable opportunity. Intuition is your very own best friend. It is always there for you. It waits patiently for you. It gives the absolute best advice, and all you have to do is ask! Like any good friendship, all it takes to nurture it is a little time and attention. If you decide to be close and intimate with your intuition, I promise that your life will transform into something wonderful.

Just Laughs: Daddy, How Was I Born?
A little boy goes to his father and asks 'Daddy, how was I born?'
The father answers, 'Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:
Wait for my next post later in the day ...
You'll love it!

Just Laughs: Don't Know Shit!
A stranger was seated next to Little Johnny on the plane when the stranger turned to the Little Johnny and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger, "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," said Little Johnny. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. "A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
"Jeez," said the stranger. "I have no idea."
"Well, then," said Little Johnny, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

Law of Attraction: Increase Your Level Of Inner Peace
Do you want to have more inner peace? You can accomplish your goal by taking steps that will help you grow physically, mentally and financially.Focus on your health. Get plenty of aerobic exercise and eat an abundance of nutritious food every day. Do activities such as jogging, cycling, swimming or brisk walking at least thirty minutes almost every day. Follow the established nutrition guidelines.
Reduce the amount of time you spend harboring negative emotions. Do not get mad over little things. Avoid carrying grudges and hatred in your heart.
Handle your stress properly. When you feel tense or pressed, take a deep breath and remember that your performance, health and level of inner peace will be affected negatively by an overload of stress. Have you heard the phrase that says, “Rise to the occasion?” When it is very important to perform at your best level, you must relax and totally concentrate on your task.
Do not be ashamed to cry or express your anger in a harmless manner. If you want or need to cry or scream, please do so because it will help you feel better; furthermore, suppressing your grief or anger will hurt your immune system.
Laugh alone and with others at things that are funny but harmless. Laugh at things that have already happened. If you think of something funny around others, do not laugh too loudly.
Think positively. Turn negative experiences into positive experiences by contemplating the benefits that may come from what has happened. For example, if you lose a few dollars you put into a side pocket or shallow back pocket, you can use this error to become more careful and avoid losing a lot more money in the future.
Do not dwell on the past. This is counterproductive and will not bring you peace of mind. Only use bad memories of your past to avoid repeating your mistakes.
Think about your good experiences as much as possible. Use these good memories to become happier.
Be courteous to others. Being mean brings guilt and a lack of inner peace.
Volunteer your time at least occasionally. Help others in need.
To increase your chances of feeling comfort and peace of mind in your golden years, prepare for your retirement. Create and stick to a budget. Save at least ten percent of your income. Take advantage of any retirement accounts provided by your employer.
Use your physical and mental energy to do good things. Do what you can to make a difference.

Just Laughs: Elevator of Youth
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father [never having seen an elevator] responded "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction.
The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out. The father said to his son, "Go get your mother."

My Bubble: Dona Nobis Pacem
Today's BlogBlast For Peace ~ Dona Nobis PacemLife has been so hectic for me recently, so consumed with my new job that I hardly had any time to really sit back, ponder and appreciate my very existence. My promise to myself, to be laid back and enjoy life just flew out the window!
Many moments durng this past 2 months, I came close to tears, frantic and almost wanting to throw in the towel. Thankfully, it is my friends from the blogosphere that had kept me going. There had not been a peek out of me all this period, but yet ocassionally when I peeped into my blog, I could feel the unwavering support from them. Now, at every permitted chance, I will seek the warmth and peace that they had left on my blog. Thank you all ... friends, readers and fellow bloggers!
If I had not discover the Law of Attraction, I would not have fully comprehend the beauty of peace, gratitude and friendship. These past 2 years, I've come to realise their priceless value, not only to me but to all mankind.
Imagine a world where every one of all races, religions, cultures ... young and old, big or small, live in complete peace with one another, bonded in genuine friendship, offering thanks to the Universe for each new dawn that allow us to make a better tomorrow.
Imagine a world ... free from hate, conflicts, war ...
Imagine a world ... free from diseases, pain, suffering ...
Imagine a world ... free from greed, lust, gluttony ...
Before we can truly enjoy the fruits of our imagination, I've learnt the need to free ourselves from the clutches of our own FEARS. Peace comes when we live without fear. Gratitude comes when we are at peace. Friends bond when gratitude is abundant.
DONA NOBIS PACEM ... Grant us Peace!
