| If you have been attempting to apply the principles of | | | | results (you have 53 down line sign-ups in one day! |

| struggled with the flaw of the whole idea of | | | | And you go back and forth with this a few times, |
| "attraction." After all, how can you have something that | | | | creating wonderful (sometimes miraculous) |
| you don't have? And yet, isn't that exactly what we | | | | experiences, only to have them implode upon |
| are affirming when we try and "attract" anything? This | | | | themselves. What the heck is happening? Do not get |
| is the first flaw with the so-called Law of Attraction. | | | | frustrated my friend, for what you have experienced is |
| During a recent conversation with one of my down line | | | | quite typical of the law of attraction's Fatal Flaw #2: |
| distributors, we uncovered another LOA fatal flaw. | | | | The Fear of Having a Negative Thought. |
| Here's what typically happens when trying to apply the | | | | Here's why I call this fear a flaw: resistance leads to |
| law of attraction: | | | | persistence, and negativity is not what you want if |
| 1. First, we become aware of how our thoughts create | | | | you're into "attracting." However, you must have |
| our reality. In other words, when we think of lack or | | | | negative thoughts and experiences when you make |
| abundance, we experience lack or abundance. | | | | adjustments to your BEINGNESS. After all, these |
| 2. Then we expand on the above idea by having our | | | | negative thoughts are auto-pilot programs in the |
| thoughts "attract" what we want. The premise behind | | | | subconscious (where you can do nothing but respond |
| this idea is that our thoughts seek out the things that | | | | to them). How else can you release these programs |
| share its congruent vibration, and that thing | | | | unless they come up from the subconscious into your |
| subsequently shows up in our lives. | | | | conscious waking life? |
| 3. Assuming that we experience some success up to | | | | For example, let's say your goal is a down line |
| this point, we carry on with life, ecstatic because we | | | | organization of 100+ productive distributors, but your |
| found our happy thought and wonderful experiences | | | | current organization has only 6. You implement some |
| show up to support us. We begin to think, "Wow, if it | | | | techniques, and voila! You've got what you wanted. |
| was this easy to manifest 100 new down line | | | | Then you lose 23 people to another opportunity! Did |
| distributors, I wonder what else I can do!" | | | | the law of attraction just fail here? Not really - it's just |
| 4. Now, we get REALLY excited and start making lists | | | | flawed. Did the Law of Being fail? Absolutely not! |
| of all the things we are going to work on next-the | | | | See, if you were trying to "attract" 100+ productive |
| perfect relationship, an end to joint pain, the horse | | | | distributors, this situation would seem like an absolute |
| ranch in Montana,...and on and on. | | | | fiasco! (Notice I said "attract," not "retain.") But if you |
| And then...it happens. The one thing that you feel will | | | | have DECIDED to BE the leader of a 100+ productive |
| put an absolute END to your momentum just | | | | distributorship, this is just a clearing out of the |
| happened. | | | | pretenders. Negative thoughts are nothing to fear or |
| You had a negative thought. (Cue foreboding music | | | | resist; they are merely the remnants of old paradigms |
| here!) | | | | clearing the way for a new reality. You can allow |
| Oh, boy. Now you've done it. Just like Linus saying the | | | | those distributors to go as they please with no hard |
| word "if" in reference to the Great Pumpkin appearing | | | | feelings. Your BEINGNESS is steadfast and |
| in his pumpkin patch. You just blew it. It's over! And | | | | unaffected, and your results will reflect that. |
| why? Because the main tenet of the law of attraction | | | | The bottom line: There is nothing to "attract" and |
| is that your thoughts create your reality. So now that | | | | nothing to resist. The negativity that arises following |
| you've had this negative thought, shouldn't you expect | | | | your new paradigm shift is akin to your son asking to |
| to experience some negative stuff? | | | | be excused from the dinner table. Let him go, he's no |
| But just like Linus, you vow to try again, resisting the | | | | longer needed. And as always, don't take my word for |
| negativity, applying the same concept, getting great | | | | it, take it for checking. |
