Last night, on my law of attraction call, I made the comment that most people devote too much energy to trying to change the effects in their life instead of changing the cause. They focus their energy in a way that only adds to the problem.

I think the condition of the present economy offers some of the best examples of this. The moment people hear in the news that the cost of everything going up and up, the first thing they want to do is cut back on their spending. In their mind they want to keep as much of what little they think they have as possible.

However, in doing so, they focus all their energy on the effect of the problem, the lack, and not the real cause. Now initially this is not a bad practice, until they have had time to reassess their budget. However, too many people make this practice just a way of life.

Looking at that particular challenge a little closer would uncover some very interesting facts. First, you don’t make more money by limiting. By focusing on limiting yourself, you naturally create more of that condition. I believe it was Emerson who said “The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.”

Making more money, however, will! Now most people will fret over the impossibility of making more money. Since they cannot imagine how they could conceivably do that, they mistakenly assume that the infinite source would face the same problem.

Not so! A good rule of thumb for us to follow is that the finite should not tell the infinite how to do its job. You cannot imagine how to increase your income, especially if you are employed at a fixed hourly wage or are on a fixed salary simply because you are not aware of how to do it.

But here is where they need to incorporate the law of attraction the most. Here is where you put it to the test. And here is where it will yield the greatest assistance as the valuable resource it truly is. Here is what they should do.

Here is what you would do. You think in thought images so create the thought image of just how you would like your financial situation to be. Leave nothing out and make it as real as possible.

As you imagine your new life you naturally begin to create clearer and clearer pictures of that life. As that happens, you naturally add more and more emotion about your thought image. This is the key. Now through the law of attraction you find yourself attracted to the things that you need and attracting to you, the things that you need to manifest your thought image.

By focusing on the cause of your problems and not the effects of your past thoughts, you create what you really want to experience. That is, a desire for change.

Now they are focused on changing the cause of their problem and not wasting time and energy focusing on the effects.
