The Missing Link in the Law of Attraction

I don’t know many people who don’t want more. What most of us don’t realize is that in order to have more, there are certain measures to be taken.

What can that more be? Better work (better is more) - money (most of want that one) - new relationship, a new boss, different car. It can be anything.

Have you ever wondered why the new things that you want don’t come. You have heard of the Law of Attraction, you work with the Law of Attraction and any of the other tools available … You take action, and still … it’s alluding you.

Or that new relationship … you do get it, you do find that wonderful man or woman, but soon it feels like the old one just with a new, different face.

Missing Link

What I will be telling you is not new. In fact the underlying concept has been around for a very long time, except that to follow it can at times be a little painful (emotionally, not physically).

The ancient Chinese philosophy of Fung Shui talks about getting rid of old things on order to allow for new things to come in. In Feng Shui you are taught that when you clear out a physical space you allow room for something new.

Personal Experience

Soon after learning this I took action. I cleaned my service porch from all the cobwebs and dustballs. But more important - I got rid of all those things I kept there - just in case; things I had long forgotten that I had, but that I had kept - just in case.

Results: much nicer to use the service porch, but also things, people began coming into my life that I had wanted for a long time.

We have an unrecognized emotional attachment to all those things lying around, even if we have forgotten that we have them. As long as they are in our possession, the attachment is there.

Only by getting rid of them - by letting go - do we empty out space within ourselves, thereby opening ourselves up to receiving new.

Some of those old things I will call “weewils”, and often we cling on to for grim life. After all they have been with us for so long that we are extremely comfortable and even fond of them, even if they are weevils.

Now what if I were to invite you to the most beautiful banquet table of life, a table that has everything you desire in the most beautiful colors, smells, tastes. It’s all there. Nothing has been left out. I invite you, but as you are 10 feet away, I stop you and say: This is as far as you can come to the banquet table of life. In order to come closer you must get rid of the weevils.

What will be your reaction? Honestly. Remember these weevil have become second nature to you.

Do any of these sentences ring a bell for you?
*   “I will be lost with this”
*   “My life will not be the same without this” (wanting more is wanting  something different)
*   “I can’t get rid of that! This is my favorite childhood blanket!”

You can also look at yourself a a glass of water filled to the brim with water. How are you going to put more water in, when it is already full?

This attitude of being full is common. It is very hard for us to say that we are lacking, except that we keep wanting more, and that is lacking.

Some Practical Steps

So how can we empty out? How can we allow room for more and new to come. Since it is oftentimes easier to clean physically than emotionally and since there is an emotional attachment to everything we have, the easiest is to clean physically.

Here are some places you could look into deeply and empty out:

1. Closests and cupboards (oh yes, I know it’s hard to get rid of that dress you only wore once for your son’s wedding 10 years ago)

2. Kitchen cupboards (how many chipped plates or cups that are not being used because they are chipped)

3. Service porch, garage, attic, basement (These are really tough places, there is so much emotional baggage there)

4. Bookshelves (When did you last read those books, or anyone else in the family?)

5. Workspace, desk, shelves, desk drawers (you will be very surprised what you will find there, and you will become much more efficient in your work)

6. Computer: desktop, files and folders, favorites, bookmarks

This is not something that can be undertaken in one day. The important thing is to start. From personal experience I know this works.

There are many advantages here. Not only are you allowing more to come in, you will also be living and working in a more orderly space.

As you do this, you will find that it becomes easier and easier, and that you eventually will be able to free yourself of emotional attachment to things you no longer need, even without the physical action. This is the missing link.

So you want more. Start with these step, keep taking action and follow up with steps Beyond The Law of Attraction.
