Attraction is an invisible force that moves one object to another. For those who have mastered how to attract whatever they want in life, it feels effortless, and it is a much more fun way to go through life. Anyone can learn the principles of attraction and put them to immediate use.

Following are the nine steps to discovering how to put the power of attraction to work in your own life.

1. Attraction principles or laws are universal and undeniable. You and I did not invent them, yet they exist.

You do not have to agree with the laws of attraction, but you may recognize that you are already attracting what you do and do not want in life by your daily intentions and actions. Focus, and choose your thoughts carefully.

2. Like attracts like. Have you ever noticed that you can never get enough of what you do not want? This is because you are usually focusing on what you do not want to happen, and you keep getting more of what you do not want. Just like you can attract what you want, you can also attract what you do not want.

Attraction as a power does not know good from bad. This is very similar to how your subconscious works. Be very conscious of what specifically you want, and deny yourself the luxury of negative thoughts or thoughts that do not align with what you are intending to attract.

3. Abundance is the natural and normal order of things in this universe. We come into this world preprogrammed by nature to attract whatever it is that we want. Any friction or inability to attract our greatest desires is a learned trait. Therefore immediately assume that your life is filled with abundance, no matter how small.

You have heard the old saying “the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer,” right? Can you see why this is true? It is as easy as choosing to be rich because you already are in more ways than you may want to admit.

4. All attraction begins in the formless state of thought or intention. You are already thinking about what you want and do not want all day long. To increase your chances of attracting what you want, you will want to narrow your focus and attention so that a greater percentage of your daily life is spent on activities that pull you toward your highest intentions.

Whatever you focus on expands. You get whatever you think about most. Choose thoughts that move in the same direction as your intentions, and deny yourself the indulgence of negative thoughts. You are the creator of your destiny and experience.

5. Intention without action is a way to guarantee that you will attract what you do not want. Therefore as soon as you have clarity on what you want to attract, find ways to stay in daily massive amounts of action . . . until your intention becomes manifest.

Life rewards action. Here is a fun game to play with yourself: How can you make a higher percentage of your day filled with thoughts and actions that are aligned with your best intentions? You may be surprised to discover how much of your day is not invested in moving toward your intentions. Stop, find out where you are—measure it—and then consciously direct your attention to invest a greater percentage of your time taking action toward your intentions.

6. Attraction only happens in the present moment (never in the past nor in the future); therefore focus on what you can think and do right now in this very moment to move in the direction you want most for yourself, your life, your health, your family, your business, and so on.

The present is perfect. Everything that is is as it is supposed to be. While you cannot always control what happens to you in life, you can control how you respond to life. Start by observing life without judgment, and then move toward becoming an active director in your ideal life experience.

7. Live your passion. Feelings and emotions can amplify and speed up your ability to attract whatever you want in life. Negative emotions can also amplify and speed up the attraction of things you do not want in life.

Begin by choosing to define the experience that you want for this life, and then expect that with massive amounts of action and plenty of faith in yourself, you will attract whatever you want. It is this easy, and you know it is true for you.

8. Become highly aware of what your highest values are so that you can lead a purpose-driven life that is congruent with your own expectations of yourself.

Having intentions that are not consistent with your highest values will result in frustration or, worse, in the successful attraction of a result that does not make you happy on the inside. Intentions that move you toward your goals will always intuitively seem more effortless than ones that feel like a lot of work to attract.

9. Make your intentions extremely specific, yet do not get attached to the outcome. The more clearly you are able to define what you want, the faster it will show up in your life.

Once you have a core set of intentions that you want to manifest for yourself, write them down immediately. Define your dreams, intentions, and goals even further in measurable terms. What gets measured gets managed, and what does not get measured does not get managed. The best way to not get attached to the outcome is to simply believe that you have the ability attract whatever you want in life and that it will show up exactly as it is supposed to. Have faith in yourself.
Conclusion
Whatever you focus your attention on, you will attract more of. Guard your thoughts, and become incredibly aware of which thoughts you are thinking. Do not worry about judging your thoughts as right or wrong, but rather, focus your finite amount of time on this earth on attracting what you want from life. It is the natural order of things that will allow more abundance into life when you choose thoughts and actions that move you toward your greatest values and purpose. You are the creator of your experiences. Choose your thoughts wisely.
