If you are one of millions who are trying to re-invent themselves then you are in need of a new mind-set. Like many, you may be wringing your hands in worry asking "what else should I be doing, what's going to happen to my family, my home"? If you are a victim of job loss or are being threatened with layoffs or salary cuts then you are someone riddled with self-doubt and mounting fear. If you allow these circumstances to consume you, the despair will spread and perpetuate itself, fueled by negativity. You will be poisoning yourself on a daily basis, unknowingly attracting the very dire circumstances you are trying to overcome. If you are spending a lot of time thinking poor me, you are painting a picture of yourself as a victim. You are attracting more and more reasons to support how ineffectual you feel.
Did I just describe you? Understand that the energy spent worrying about things you have no control over, all those 'what if' scenarios, will absolutely suck the life out of every living cell in your body. You will be left paralyzed with indecision, sleepless, anxious and powerless to move forward. First of all, things could turn around for you and you would have done all that damage to yourself for nothing. If you know anything, then you know what stress can do to the human psyche and body. Stop worrying and second guessing yourself, you are literally beating yourself up and leaving yourself vulnerable to depression, disease, food disorders, addiction and crime. No good can come from any of this.
One solution appears to be home based businesses and small family owned businesses, which appear to be growing along with the rising unemployment numbers. Real economic change will come as those small businesses begin to reduce the need for unemployment assistance. Stop waiting for a job to open up out of nowhere. Instead, create a job around what you know you can do. Be pro-active and fight against being victimized from lost corporate careers, overseas out sourcing, local downsizing, salary freezes and the loss of self-respect.
If you have already figured this out, then recognize that the laws of attraction are already at work in your life. Your own determination, your will to survive and your chutzpah have created a whole different set of circumstances that you may describe as coincidence or luck. Not true, there are consequences to everything that we do. Sometimes the consequences are expected and wanted, like the pro-athlete who visualizes hitting the ball, making the touchdown, basket or finish line. They expect to win and more often than not they do well. Likewise, think of the little leaguer stuck in right field. Poor thing is deathly afraid of the ball being hit to them, they fear not catching it or worse dropping it. This mindset will forever keep those kids on the bench. In either event, whether you see yourself as the pro-athlete or the little leaguer you need to recognize that you are responsible for the outcome; you have brought it on yourself.
Laws of attraction resonates with the old sayings be careful what you wish for and you are what you think. If the secrets of attraction have not produced the results you were looking for it's not that these universal laws no longer apply, it's you and what you're doing to attract the results that you are getting.
I know you must be saying, if wishing only made it so, but it's not wishing we're talking about. If you're wishing every night to win the lottery, good luck. If you're wishing every night to be a millionaire and you spend every waking hour working towards that end result, what do you think will happen? At the very least you will end up closer to your goal than if you had done nothing but wished for it. Focus will often propel you in the right direction, into a broader path centered on that pointed end result. Other like-minded people will gravitate to you and your focus will become clearer, you'll have better direction and a growing sense of accomplishment.
Remember that success is measured in many ways; having your convictions validated, receiving a thumbs up from the nay sayers, acknowledging the baby steps you've taken, these are degrees of success that will carry you to the next level.
Hang in there, the rest will follow.
