If you’ve ever talked to people about their high-school years, most people can be lumped into a few different categories: the jocks, the cheerleaders, the geeks, the in-crowd, the social-rejects, etc. Most people don’t consider themselves as being in part of the “in-crowd” and spent all four years just attempting to fit in somewhere.

The Law of Attraction states: I attract to myself, whatever I give my focus, attention, or energy to; whether wanted or unwanted.

Staying focused can sometimes be difficult especially when the negativity creeps into your life. It’s those times of weakness where an encouraging word, a motivational poster, or even a forgotten quote from can remind you to stay focused on the goal. When you get discouraged remember that you and only you are in charge of your thoughts, your positivity, your goals, and what you make of life.
If you’ve ever talked to people about their high-school years, most people can be lumped into a few different categories: the jocks, the cheerleaders, the geeks, the in-crowd, the social-rejects, etc. Most people don’t consider themselves as being in part of the “in-crowd” and spent all four years just attempting to fit in somewhere.
As adults we have become more comfortable in our own skin, but still desire to have close, personal relationships and for a large percentage they are elusive. Many people are struggling even finding a spouse which is why there are so many candidates on match-making websites trying to find the perfect person they can spend the rest of their life with just so they don’t have to be alone.
So how does the law of attraction apply to getting friends? Or even a spouse? Is it possible to attract friends? Let’s take a look at man’s best friend. There is a reason dogs are called man’s best friend.
Pets are a supreme example of faith and belief. Especially dogs. Watch the average dog greet a family member that has been gone from the house for any period of time. First, the dog has complete and unshakeable faith that “their” person loves them. And the dog believes that they are loved in return. This is such an amazingly strong element of the normal dog-human relationship that studies have been done on it. There are actual “medical dogs” that are taken into cancer wards, children hospitals, and retirement centers. People on the edge of death light up and respond to the unwavering and absolute faith of the dog that each person is worth of love and the belief that love is returned to them.
Now ask yourself how do you act around people? Are you hesitant about yourself? Do you approach people certain you will not be accepted? Examine your faith and belief in your interactions.
One of the principles of the law of attraction is simply this: what you think about you will get. In observing the interaction of a dog you can see how you need to act to attract people. This works in social aspects, sales, customer service, and any type of interaction.
First, BE EXCITED!!!!! Ok, not quite as excited as a dog, but show sincere enthusiasm. A sub-element of this is…. SMILE!!! Smiles are contagious. Look in the mirror at your normal expression. Are you smiling? If not, DO IT!!! Seriously. If you aren’t in the mood to smile, Fake it! Look in the mirror and put a believable fake smile on your face. If this is hard for you – practice in the mirror a bit. When the SMILE looks genuine, memorize it. Practice it on the next 10 people you see…. I bet they all smile back.
One of the fun tricks I love to do at this point is to specifically pick someone that looks grumpy and simply do an EXCITED SMILE at them. It’s interesting to see the reaction. Nine times out of ten they will smile back. That tenth person? Go smile at person number eleven.
Second, BELIEVE you are worth “getting petted” or in people terms, being paid attention to. Have you ever seen an excited dog doubt that they should be loved and petted? No. They have complete belief that you will be happy to see them. And you know what? As long as they don’t put their paws on your white clothes, etc. you are happy to see them.
For us humans, we need to believe that we will have a positive reaction back. And true law of attraction style – what you believe does become reality.
Third, have FAITH. The hardest thing is this faith element. Watch a dog though. If you’re watching at a park and they are playing some sort of fetch with their owner – sometimes the owner will be tired of throwing the ball, Frisbee, or stick. The dog will come back and be CERTAIN that they will get one more throw out of them. It’s amazing how many times people will do one more time… and one more… and yet one more because of that absolute faith.
Last, is go READ some books, listen to some tapes, or watch some videos on personal interaction. Whether you are in sales or just want to have more friends, life is always about learning. “How to Win Friends and Influence People” is an all-time classic. Read it. Make it a goal to study how to improve your human interaction skills. Believe you can improve and have faith that you are progressing.
And last… Take action NOW. Practice the smile. If it’s already flawless, shine it at your co-worker’s or even the cashier at the grocery store. Improvement is all about taking one step at a time.

There are an abundance of Universal Laws. A quick Google search will lead you to pages and pages of so-called Universal Laws that are nothing more than words on a screen that have been passed down from author to author. Even today’s version of “The Secret” is a very well-done reworking of Wallace Wattles “The Science of Getting Rich.” Books written by Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill have had their copyright retired and have been edited, revised and relabeled with new cover pages because the information is that valuable.
Are their true Universal Laws and what are they? There are many schools of thought on the Universal Laws. Some are based on physics, some on personal development, and a lot on random ideas.
Napoleon Hill came up with 17 in the Keys to Success. His are:
Herbert Harris shared his in the The Twelve Universal Laws of Success.
One version of 7 Universal Laws are:
Another version states the 7 Universal Laws are:
As you can tell, many people have their own idea what constitutes “Universal Laws”.

The Law of Attraction states: I attract to myself, whatever I give my focus, attention, or energy to; whether wanted or unwanted. Whatever you think about, focus on, worry about, or believe is what you will get and who you will be. This law is does not discriminate nor it does not play favorites, even though outwardly it may seem like it. The law works whether you, I, or anyone else for that matter intends it to or not.
The law of attraction boils down to like-attracts-like. It is absolute and doesn’t have anything to do with your religious beliefs, being a good or a bad person or whatever else.
Your desires and dreams shape your reality, your day-to-day activities and life. Imagine beginning to trust in yourself with your infinite possibilities. Imagine you deserve everything you want out of life and believing it. Imagine getting anything you desire from life.

Since the release of the book and the movie in 2006 The Secret has been gaining momentum. The Secret has attracted the attention of both advocates and naysayers alike.
But what is the magic behind The Secret? Is there “magic” or “science”? I believe it depends on perspective and attitude. Most people will agree that a positive mental outlook, a cheery disposition, and a grateful attitude will get you better results no matter where you are or what you do. Whether its at your job, in your love life, your finances, your happiness, your health, and your overall interactions with other humans, as the old saying goes “you can attract more bees with honey than vinegar.”
The Secret shares many compelling stories of others who have tapped into this to achieve the impossible: massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and better health. Many modern teachers have contributed to this book to share their personal growth in achieving health, wealth and happiness.
Skeptics will quickly point out the scientific flaws with The Secret and will tell you it is very repetitive and that it boils down to a lot of hype. This book will not be for everyone. People who already have a skeptical and negative outlook will not enjoy The Secret and will pick it apart for its scientific claims. By choosing to focus on the science and excitement/hype surrounding it they will miss the gems that are there. Be happy, focus on the positive, believe that you can get what you desire.
Regardless if you believe in the science or not, it is worthwhile to read it with an open mind.

What is a Life coach?
A Life coach helps individuals set and reach goals, find a balance between work and family, and find enjoyment in life using tools and techniques from many different disciplines such as psychology, sociology, career counseling, NLP, mentoring and positive adult development. They are typically unlicensed and as such, psychology intervention and business analysis is outside the scope of their work.
Life coaches can help people in all areas of work from an high-powered executive, to small business owner to musician to entrepreneur achieve a more clear-cut focus in both handling business relationships as well as meeting familial obligations. They can help you clarify what direction to choose and what path to take by guiding you through the process.
Whether you are struggling to find that work and family balance or just want to have more fun in life, a life coach can walk with you through it all.
Are you drifting through life? Stuck in the proverbial rat race? Finding yourself in uncharted territory? If you were sick, you’d see a doctor. If you have tax questions, you’d see a CPA. If you had legal issues, you’d talk to an attorney. If you find yourself not sure of what do in your life, a Life coach may be your answer.

Written over 100 years ago with multitudes of re-writes and republications, The Science of Getting Rich is more than just getting rich, it teaches you how to have a burning desire to become rich and how to have the proper mental attitude to become rich. I could narrate more on what Wallace Wattles says in The Science of Getting Rich, but it’s best to read it for yourself.
Here are quotes and snippets from The Science of Getting Rich. The book’s copyright has expired and as such this valuable book is now public domain which means you can read the book in it’s entirety for yourself.
Quotes from The Science of Getting Rich.
- Get rid of the idea that God wants you to sacrifice yourself for others and that you can secure his favor by doing so. God requires nothing of the kind. What God wants is that you should make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others. And you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.
- The methods set forth here are for people whose desire for riches is strong enough to overcome mental laziness and the love of ease, and to make them work.
- To get rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself. When you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things.
- Wallace Wattles
