The Psychology of The Law of Attraction... The answers there in front of you...

Hi guys,

I had a really interesting discussion with a friend not too long ago and it raised some very interesting and insightful points which i have to talk about.

The reason i've chosen to talk about it on here as my first thread is that i feel it will help everyone who's looking to change their belief system and mindset when it comes to success.

Hopefully after reading it, it should help you have a better understanding as to why it's important to have the right mindset. So i really hope this helps...

------------------------

The first thing we often read about when we start off on our journey to personal development is the concept called - The Law of Attraction

I'm sure many of you have probably seen the movie 'The Secret' or read the book about it.

But is it really true that the universe has something to do with it?

I've always been analytical when it comes to things i can't see and have been fortunate enough to study psychology and human behavior in the last few years due to being fascinated about male/female courtship.

And what really stood out the most for me at the time was the idea that humans tend to reach out to others who have the same beliefs, mindsets, character and philosophies of life as them. This is because humans generally find comfort with people who are just like them.

That's why it's unnatural to see a head banger and meth addict form a connection with a successful business man as an example, as they naturally have nothing in common.

For the same reason that not everyone votes for the same politicians, dates the same people or have the same friends. The truth is, we're all part of different 'niche markets'

I see it all the time in my hometown in London.
I used to always fantasize about dating the cute Essex girls, wondering why i was consistently failing to ever date them, thinking that it was my game that was keeping me from succeeding.

Eventually, a bigger picture formed and started to see patterns. The girls i admired tended to date with a particular type of guy - Someone who dressed in a particular way, acted a certain way and had a particular character trait that they were able to connect with.

I then realized that i only had 2 choices. I either become the type of guy they date (And not be myself), or be my best self and attract the right people into my life.

This insight alone, now starts to put the pieces together as to what the so called 'law of attraction' is really about.

It's not something we chase, but something we pull into our lives.

What does this have to do with Internet Marketing? i hear you ask.

Well the answers are already there right in front of you...

Is it really a coincidence that we're all in a forum related to Internet Marketing?

You've joined a community of like-minded people who you're able to vibe with and have aligned yourself towards success.

Is that the universe at work, or human behavior?

The answer is very simple guys.

If you want to be a success in any area of life. Don't go looking for success from others.

This is a common fallacy that many Success GURUS talk about but fail to understand.

Instead, understand your nature...

Be the person other people want to connect with.

So if you want to date the right girl, meet the right friends, make the best business connections and form quality relationships. Then strive to be that person.

When you do this, what will happen is, other people who are on the same path as you will want to connect with you.

Be the person you want to see in your life, and the rest will naturally fall into place.

Feel free to discuss,

I'm looking forward to your responses

    Hey Onder!! Great post and wow, your first one on here. Can I recommend you keep em coming like that!

    I also combine a love of NLP, Mind Stuff & IM and I'm soooo enjoying life with this combo. The communities are both uber helpful, I have to say IM is really supportive.

    Like attracts like - fact.

    However, you know the film 'Independence Day' shows the way that 'groups' of people come in all shapes and sizes depending on need. It all comes down to how we bond and what we bond over.

    The meth addict would soon bond with the businessman and vice versa if they both found themselves stuck in a lift after an earthquake and needed to find a way out.

    I'm fascinated that you are in London and chose Essex Girls, I am an Essex girl, born and bred! Flattered you picked this county and so glad you decided to be true to yourself.

    Back to attraction. Both. I recommend you focus on what you want - which I assume is being in happy, loving relationship filled with mutual respect and support for each other (best kind of relationship). So focus on what you want!

    I'm a hypnotherapist aswell as IM and have worked with as diverse types of people from every cultural background, religion (even those not permitted to visit hypnotherapists), and people from every part of society as you can imagine. I particularly enjoyed working with a young man whose life had many troubles who was teetering on the edge of crime and in his situation I could see why, I worked with him without charge and he was so attracted to an alternative life and chose to 'hope' for a better experience. At the time I had an office in Harley Street and for him to just visit someone there gave him a boost. We spoke about everything and he was one of the most englightened 17 year olds I've ever met. LOA featured in his 'hopes' for his future.

    I worked with people who ran Fortune 10 companies, entrepreneurs, housewives, young people, old people, gay, straight, tall, short, fat, thin and the problems they came with, well you can imagine.

    We've been in stitches laughing, cried, dealt with huge fears and childhood traumas that would make your hair stand on end and for many it was all about the future and improving their goals!

    What I can tell you is, I had to be able to bond in some way with every single one of them, whether I had anything in common with them or not. When you realize the basic elements of what makes us human, it's easier to find the common ground.

    We all feel, we all have desires and we all need love.

    I strongly believe in Karma. I believe that what you put out, comes back to you and often its multiplied.

    You Onder, can live the life you want, starting right now. And I think you've already begun. You being you, is the best place to begin - don't deprive the world of knowing the real you

    Thanks for your response Larkrise!

    Nice to meet you. Pretty cool that you live in Essex. I've only visited the Chelmsford, Romford and Ilford areas and have found the area to be quite nice compared to where i live in East London.

    You're right that all of us can connect on a basic level. It's what makes us all human after all as we all have one thing in common on a basic level which is the desire to feel understood, loved and respected regardless of age, gender or background.

    But there are cases where it's just not possible when in an environment that is aligned with their core identity. So if i were in the guy's house party where it was all about listening to metal and taking drugs. There would be no way to find a common ground. The same as if i were attempting to date an Essex girl in her home town in Essex where most of the guys she's exposed to are of a particular type.

    There's simply no common ground, no matter how hard i tried to fit in. In IM speak, i'm simply a completely different 'niche' compared to every one else. A bit like trying to get someone to opt into a crocheting list when their interest is fashion.

    I loved the analogy you gave about the elevator. That's a perfect example because both the businessman and himself were in a situation where they both had something in common, so they built a basic connection which offers a gateway to build something deeper. The same with the 'Independence day' scenario. They all had the same belief to go and fight the aliens. So a connection and commonality was built along the way.

    Everyone has a shell or vibe which is hard to break. The only way you can is if you try and align yourself to it, but it's generally very difficult and often results in being someone you're not, which doesn't work in the long term.

    I'm very interested about the work you do in hypnotherapy. I'm researching into happiness and self-confidence at the moment and recently started my own blog about it.

    My top tip for you Onder is to study NLP techniques for attraction. When you learn about 'mirroring' and 'reflecting' just as examples, you begin to realise that its not always that difficult to 'align' yourself with someone else.

    I think a lot of Essex Girls love boys from London. In fact I know they do. I'm a grown up lady with a daughter of 23 so I've been around enough to know. The 'Essex trend' has highlighted the generic persona of the counties occupants but in truth, that's mainly Brentwood which is a rich area in Essex.

    A lot of 'Essex Girls' are highly intelligent, well dressed, well spoken women. The accent can be hard to completely shake off and plenty of them play on it.

    Anyways, this is an interesting chat. I wish you lots of luck with your studies. Study those NLP techniques for professional and personal benefits. Some people use NLP techniques in a sneaky underhand fashion but you wont get far with those (except the Italian guy who kept hypnotising shop keepers to open the till and give him the cash before they realised what was going on) Watch Derren Brown videos to find out how thats done. Doesnt work on everyone.

    Derren Brown had the same teachers as me. He is a mad intelligent genius who plays with NLP and mind control techniques and shows us how its done. Better for everyone when its put to good use. Such as influening people who are afraid of something to let go of the fear.

    Thanks for the advice Larkrise,

    I'll be sure to check it out. I have a book called the NLP Workbook which has been sitting on my shelf for a while and will give it a read.

    Thanks again for the feedback.
