The Art of Attracting Money into Your Life
May 21st, 2009
It is part of human nature to crave for money. This is why when people learn about the “law of attraction,” the first thing that comes to their minds is how to attract money into their lives. Tired of struggling and striving, they become desperate, and try to acquire money the easiest way. Unfortunately, attracting money is a very difficult thing to do. Money can put so much pressure on a person because it has become a measure of one’s success or failure.
Unfortunately, emphasis on money attraction only creates even more problems. Because the thing is, the more you think of needing money, the more you become desperate if you don’t get it. And with this negativism, the longer it will take to attract money into your life. But worry no more, because there are a few simple things you can do to possibly attract money into your life.
Simply follow these steps:
1. Be light-hearted at all times. Be easygoing about money and everything else in your life. The harder you try attracting money, the more it will evade you. Why not develop a natural prosperity attractor? Try creating a positive energy in you; attract money by not thinking about it too seriously.
2. Be what you want to become. Another common problem is dreaming of getting over a place of struggles to go to a place of peace and abundance. Keep in mind that before you can go to that place of abundance and peace, you actually have to stay where you are and change your way of thinking. Instead of focusing on trying to attract more money, become a person who feels and thinks positively. By doing so, you’ll see how you will eventually achieve your goals. Positive feelings of happiness, peace, serenity, and gratefulness will all lead to a more fulfilled state of mind and being.
3. Let go of your worries about attracting money. Don’t dwell on how money will come into your life. Instead, watch out for opportunities pretending to be obstacles. And lastly, learn to let go of when money has arrived in your life. By learning to let go, you will attract more blessings to pour into your life.

On the Heels of Happiness
May 21st, 2009
A lot of people race through their own lives looking for that one elusive thing happiness. However, the faster one goes, the farther happiness seems to get from their hands. What most people don’t know is that happiness is just around the corner or may have always been beside them from the start. In today’s society, more and more people are becoming motivated for the wrong reasons and thinking that their happiness is a goal that can be reached after much hard work and suffering. And when that goal has been reached, well, it’s on to the next bigger, prettier, and harder-to-accomplish goal before they call themselves happy. Satisfaction may be the key to happiness, but people rarely give in to the feeling and are left scurrying faster and harder until the weariness of the chase creeps in. What they forget though is that happiness happens when you allow it to, and yes, one can be truly happy in a myriad of ways.
If you truly want to be happy, here are three simple ways to get that warm and fuzzy feeling in your heart
1) Slow down.
Some peole get a rush of happiness when they feel the wind in their hair, brisk walk through life, and jump over obstacles as in a race. However, happiness doesn’t just happen when you reach the finish line. Take time out to feel and experience the people, places, and other things in your life. Learn how to slow down and let happiness catch up with you in the form of a book, a night out with friends, a quiet afternoon with your pet cat in your lap, or a rainy day indoors with your loved one. It pays off to take a break from the race for happiness to seep into your veins.
2) Enjoy the view.
Wonder why some people still prefer going on cross-country drives instead of hopping onto a plane? They say a vacation is more memorable not because of the pile of rocks waiting for you at the end of the journey, but because of the people, places, and things that you encounter along the way. The same goes for life and reaching that goal. Happiness isn’t just attained when you reach the end, but it can also be seen in the twists and turns that you go through to get it.
3) Be thankful.
Happiness comes to those who are thankful for it and all the other things one can encounter in one’s life. Instead of building regret and resentment over challenges, be thankful that you have surpassed such and learned a lot from the experience. Being thankful for what one has keeps one grounded, focused, and more determined to finish his or her fight.
