Magnetism: Not Just For Animals
A very spiritual woman I know shared the following with me: she said, 'I used to have unfortunate beliefs about myself and I received back from external influences unfortunate results. When I decided to take control and raise my resonance, to be the change I wanted to become, to allow abundance and love come flow through me, absolutely everything fell into place. I am now living a life of leisure with a beautiful husband and I can draw what I want into my universe at will.'

What does it take to be magnetic? Can we really draw money, love or health simply by telling ourselves we are magnets for what we want?
All it takes is a shift in perception.
We choose what to focus on. We choose to be really bummed out when it rains, or we choose to appreciate the downpour as a great opportunity to take care of indoor activities, or even better, to leave the umbrella at home and go for a walk. One person’s inconvenience is another’s puddle splashing fun.
When we focus on good, good comes to us. When we focus on grief, we grieve. This is not to say there’s no place for grief in life, it’s just to say, we need to be mindful that we’re not suffering over our own suffering. We do not need to be grief magnets.
The other day I overheard a girl in a cafe telling her friend, ‘I’m a freak magnet. I can’t leave my apartment without running into someone either clinically insane, someone whacked out on drugs or fanatical about some weirdness who wants to have extensive interaction with me.’
Her friend responded, ‘That’s strange. Your neighborhood is really nice. I can’t imagine there would be too many freaks around there.’
’I don’t know. The freaks just seem to find me. They’re everywhere that I am. They’re just out there waiting for me to leave the house to try to get me to join their cult.’
I thought to myself how awful it was for this girl to have this belief about herself, that no matter where she goes, no matter what she’s doing, she’s going to draw the lowest common denominator to her.
This is really how attraction works. What you think about yourself, you are. What you believe about the world, is your reality. What you speak, is your truth.
I was tempted, but didn’t tell her, ‘You could just as easily not be a ‘freak magnet’ by telling yourself you’re some other kind of magnet.’ My intrusion, sadly, would have merely confirmed her self-diagnosis and she’d misinterpret my attempt at kindness as just another freak trying to freak her out.
So whatever your beliefs are about the world, I implore you, take this freak’s advice and adjust it to bring you all that you ever wanted and not the lowest common denominator.
