Did you know that the Law of Attraction works perfectly every time? Its a perfect match for wherever your focus is being heldwhether knowingly or unknowingly. Focus on having a positive new attitude, and watch your mood lift and your actions match your desires. Think about your lousy day as youre drifting off to sleep at night, and your day may revisit you through your dreams, or your bad experiences could persist the next day, too.

The Law of Attraction is universal and ultra-powerful. It is like a magnet that is always at work. Basically, the Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. In other words, wherever your attention goes, energy flows, and you attract more of that into your lifewhether it is wanted or unwanted. In order to achieve the things that are truly desired, a positive frame of mind must be present.

Many begin practicing the Law of Attraction by making it a gamefocusing on, or always finding a close parking space. When those things continuously show up (and they will), move on to bigger things. Just remember to keep it positive and keep your mind open to receive the things that are being requested.

Simply recognize where you are, where you want to be, and how you want to feel once you get there. Look at the positive future and forget the present realityespecially if it is less than ideal.

Like a conductor for a symphony, you can learn to orchestrate exactly what is desired for the ultimate life experience.

It is possible to be all, have all, and live all that is desired. It is possible to create the perfect situation for you, as the stories in this book reflectpersonal stories of people from all walks of life who have successfully used the Law of Attraction to overcome challenges, struggles, and adversity, and to make their dreams come true.

The stories are organized within 7 Essential Ingredients for Mastering the Law of Attraction. They are intended to provide inspiration to you for achieving your own dreams, along with practical, concrete steps you can take right away to deliberately apply the Law of Attraction in your life.

The Law of Attraction does not impose limitations or make you conform, so dont limit yourself with your thoughts and beliefs. Revel in the freedom to pursue whatever your heart desires and be conscious that the Law of Attraction is always at work. Its simply your job to make it work in your favor. Dream on and dream big!

All the breaks you need in life wait within
your imagination. Imagination is the workshop
of your mind, capable of turning mind
energy into accomplishment and wealth.
