Happiness and The Law of Attraction

When implementing the law of attraction into your life one of the first things you must do is find out what it is that you want. This is very important because the first step in the creative process is to “ask,” and of course if you do not know what you really want how are you going to ask?

Most people when they are asked what they want usually mention the same things, more money, better job, bigger house etc. However during my time as law of attraction coach I have found that when someone says they want these things usually that is not what they really want. The house the money and the job are usually wanted as a means to an end. I find that what most people really want is to attract happiness.

This may sound corny and often when I point this out the first reaction is to recoil from the idea because we are taught to believe that happiness is not something tangible. If you are striving for happiness you are chasing a phantom that does not exist in the “real world.” We have bought into the idea that no one is truly happy or if they say they are they are not facing reality.

So many people struggle with the idea that what they really want is happiness. If you are now wondering if the things that you say you want are what you really do want, there is a very quick and easy way to find out. When you think you are ready to begin leveraging the law of attraction and you want to set your intention, before you do just take a few minutes and do this little exercise.

Decide what you want, write it down and then ask your self these two questions…

1. Why do I want this thing?
2. How will I feel when I get it?

That’s it!

Now on the surface those questions may not sound like anything too deep and meaningful but when you ask yourself these questions a couple of times you may be amazed at what you will discover. It is likely that you will discover that what you originally said you wanted was incorrect. Let me give you and example of how this works.

Your Intention
I want a job that pays well and has set hours.

1. Why do I want this thing?
I want to be at home with my family in the evenings and on weekends.

2. How will I feel when I get it?
I will feel more secure.

If you were to stop here it may seem as though there is nothing else to know, that what you originally said you wanted is it. But you are not going to stop there. What you will do next is ask yourself the same questions again, like this…

1. Why do I want this thing?
I want to be at home with my family in the evenings and on weekends.

Why do I want to be at home with my family?
I love my family and I am happiest when I am at home with them.

2. How will I feel when I get it?
I will feel more secure.

How will being secure make me feel?
Being secure makes me feel at peace.

Can you see from the example what this person really wants? They want peace of mind and happiness. When you ask yourself these simple questions over and over eventually you will come to what it is that you really want. To use this method effectively just keep applying the two questions to every answer that you give until your answer remains the same.

If you do come to the conclusion that what you really want is happiness your next question will probably be, how do I use the law of attraction to manifest happiness? That’s easy, first you make a decision you decide that what you really want is happiness. Then you declare that decision to the universe, in other words you ‘ask.’ Then you spend your time doing the things that make you happy. I know that there are probably a few things in your life that you have to do that do not make you happy, but limit those things as much as you can and focus all of your thoughts and energy on feeling happiness, experiencing happiness and enjoying your life.

When you focus on something you attract more of it, so focus on happiness and the universe will show you more things to be happy about, and then whilst you are focusing on feeling happy the other “things” that you want will begin to show up in your life. The job you wanted will suddenly appear and you will tell yourself that you do not know how it happened and that you were not even focusing on getting the job.

That is the nature of the universe that we live in, anything that you want to manifest in your life begins with feeling good, it all comes from experiencing happiness and joy.
