The secret of attraction can help you get more money, or other things you need in your life.

Question: How Do I Use The Law of Attraction For Money or A Better Life?

I’ve heard about the law of attraction and how we attract into our lives the things we focus on. Well, I’m pretty deep in debt, and am constantly focusing on needing money, but it seems like there’s no more money coming in. (I fact, if anything, there’s less.) Is there some secret of attraction that I don’t know about?

Answer: The Law of Attraction, while very popular right now, has been known for centuries, and has always been in effect. While there’s some dispute over how and why it works, it’s simple, and there’s anecdotal and even some scientific evidence that it does work. (Read this article for more information on the Law of Attraction.) However, it’s also pretty literal. If you’re focusing on “needing money”, than that will be your reality—needing money!

To achieve more abundance, you should focus more of your attention on developing the belief that you will make more money and be out of debt soon. (In fact, rather than focusing on it happening in the future, you should focus on seeing changes now; otherwise, your beliefs may cause the changes to always be ‘in the future’.) Visualize the money coming in, believe that it will, and you will see opportunities opening up for you. (Read this article on using the Law of Attraction for positive change for more on this process.)

If you focus your attention on “having enough”, using tools like positive affirmations and gratitude, you should start seeing the results you’re looking for.
