The Law of Attraction is one of the biggest mysteries of the Universe, yet it is practised and benefited from. Rhonda Byrne, in her famous book ‘The Secret’ elaborated on this technique in detail and quoted a list of examples of personalities who worked on this and achieved what they have aimed in their lives.

The Law of Attraction is the power of the universe, that manifests or attracts everything you think about. This law has the power and capacity to turn your dreams into reality. The thought or the logic behind this is very easy and clear yet powerful. ‘Positive thoughts bring positive outcomes and negative thoughts bring negative outcomes into a person’s life.’

How exactly this works for us?

We attract what we are, we are the creator of our own life. If you want to be a successful person in life, then you need to focus on success and not failures. The Universe does not understand what is positive and what is negative, if you are thinking about a particular thing then the Universe only knows to bring that thought into reality.

Captain Cool MS Dhoni once said, if you want to win a match, you don’t need to conquer the opposition, but you must conquer the fear in your mind about the opposition team. This brings in the real magic in the field. The mind game is more important than the actual game of cricket.

Many of the successful business persons, sports figures and politicians have practised this law and reached the peak of their careers. In addition to the talent and hard work, this tool of positive thinking will add up to the possibility of achieving our goals. Sometimes we are using this technique subconsciously and may not be aware of it.

Martina Navratilova was once asked, “How do you maintain your focus, physique and sharp game even at the age of 43?" She gave a humble reply, “The ball doesn’t know how old I am”. You need to stop yourself from stopping yourself. Every game in life is actually played on a 6-inch ground – the space between your two ears.

How to use the Law of Attraction?
You can attract money, success, fame, glamour, a house, friends, love, fitness, happiness and whatnot.

Here are a few easy tools that can be used to practice the law of attraction:

1. Affirmations:
   Use daily affirmations like,
   · I am the designer of my own life
   · Only good things can come my way
   · I love myself for who I am
   · I am blessed to have a wonderful life
    
2. Visualization:  
   See yourself in that situation. If you can think about it, then you can have it. Imagine everything you will be doing, when you have that particular thing in your hand. Use vision boards, the power of imagination, mediation to achieve your goal.
    
3. Be grateful for everything.
4. Don’t’ worry about ‘How’, yet have faith, have positive thoughts and start working towards the goal and the Universe will bring it to you.  
5. If you have doubts, anxiety, fear in mind then the law will not work for you, on the other hand, it will bring more anxiety, doubts and fear.

The key factor to performing well in life and in every arena, is the ability to control the quality and quantity of your “internal dialogue”. Performance is potential minus internal interference. The one who wins over his internal turbulence creates a place in the history of success.

So, Life is a blank canvas full of possibilities. You are the one who decides, how the finished picture would look like ….

YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR LIFE
