When you have a certain desire or goal, do you anticipate it to be fulfilled, or do you let doubts fill your mind?

Anticipation is important when working with the law of attraction, because anticipation works like a magnet, attracting your desire or goal toward you.

What is anticipation?

It is more than hope. It is the certainty and faith that what you desire is going to happen right now, and feeling the pleasure the fulfillment of your desire is going to give you. It is a state of mind of expectancy, of expecting your goal to be accomplished, and seeing no other option than success.

How did you feel during the day, when you had a date in the evening or a party? How did you the week before you went on a vacation. You were in the mood of expectancy and anticipation. You already felt the joy or are going to enjoy.

While visualizing your goal, try to be in a mood of anticipation and expectancy. This will add power to your mental vibrations, making them more magnetic and attractive, and enable you to use the law of attraction more effectively.

A visitor to the website has asked the following question:
“So you are saying once our mind is cleared, we start experienceing inner peace, but what is the most important thing to do to clear your mind? I have read a lot at many websites, but still can’t understand the subject.”

Here is the reply:

Concentration, meditation and the development of inner detachment help clear the mind of thoughts, making room for inner peace.

There is no instant inner peace. In order to attain and enjoy inner peace, work and effort are required, but not everyone is willing to invest the necessary time and energy into this project.

Concentration
The practice of special concentration exercise improve the ability to focus the mind on one single thought or subject and reject unrelated thoughts. This ability helps you gain the skill of opening or closing the mind at will to the constant flow of thoughts.

Detachment
Without some inner detachment there is no inner peace. You need to learn not to be affected easily by what people say or do, and not let your emotions rule your life. I am not talking about being indifferent and uncaring. It might seem a paradox, but you can be compassionate, helpful and full of love, and at the same time display inner detachment. It is a mental attitude which leads to common sense, better judgement, more understanding and inner peace.

People often send me questions about various subjects covered in my website. Here is one of them, about the terms Consciousness, Life Force and the Universal Consciousness.

Question:

You are probably the only author I came across who cover both self-realization and law of attraction in the writings at the same time. When you talk about self-realization, mind and consciousness are used. Mind is a tool and consciousness is the real you. This view/model is the same as the ones adopted by Eckhart Tolle and Mouni Sadhu.

When you talk about law of attration, the terms Life Force and Universal Consciousness are mentioned. Most of LOA authors use this concept as well. Is Life Force the same as Consciousness in self-realzation model? Or this Life Force is some sort of Universal Mind, which is a bigger tool than individual mind?

Answer:

Here are two of the reasons why I write on both self-realization and the law of attraction:

Attitude plays an important role in attracting money into your life or driving it away. If you grew in an environment which undermined self-esteem, and lacked motivation or ambition, and if you believe that you don’t deserve to be wealthy or think that money is filthy, you probably feel that you don’t deserve to have enough money, even if you consciously wish you had more.

With a negative attitude toward money, you will not try hard to get it, you won’t pay attention to opportunities, and might even make some errors of judgment that would you cause you to lose money. On the other hand, if your attitude is positive, and you are open and willing to have it in your life, you will attract money into your life in various ways.

Here is an excerpt from the book Visualize and Achieve, addressing the subject of the attitude toward money:

“It is rather funny to hear people say how much they want money and wish they had more, yet, in the deep recesses of their subconscious mind, where it counts most, they repel any opportunity to improve their situation.

It is difficult to attract money, if there is a negative attitude about it. You cannot attract something that deep in your heart you despise. This is a most common attitude for many people. They desire money, but their attitude is negative and therefore repellent.  If you want to attract money, you have first to get rid of all negative thoughts and attitude about it. A habit of many years has to change.”

There are several techniques, which can help you change your attitude about money, and one of them is the technique of repeating of affirmations. By repeating affirmations about changing your attitude toward money, your subconscious mind will eventually accept them as true, and a negative attitude will gradually be replaced by a positive attitude.

Here are a few affirmations for achieving a positive attitude toward money:

- “I deserve to possess money.”
- “I have the right to have money.”
- “Money is a useful tool.”
- “Money can improve my life.”
- “I am very comfortable with having money in my account.”
- “Money is following into my life in harmonious ways.”
