Dealing with NOW while waiting for your intentions to manifest
When many first start working with The Secret, they begin to see their lives in a new light. Suddenly ‘where you are’ is not as desirable as ‘where you’d like to be.’ And that is a wonderful thing, what Abraham calls CONTRAST. You have to know what you don’t want (contrast) in order to discover what you do want. But how do you manage your current undesirable situation without letting your negativity about IT get in the way of manifesting what you want instead?
First of all, it isn't an either/or thing. It isn't about LOA being the opposite of living responsibly. You can do both! (In fact, learning to use LOA deliberately rather than by default is behaving quite responsibly, in my opinion.) You can still intend things for yourself while managing your present state or situation. The trick is HOW you go about dealing with what is in front of you.
For example, you still have to pay the bills you currently have, go to the job you might not like anymore, etc. etc. What’s required is a shift in your focus while you are still juggling those bills and going to that job. Remember that whatever you are experiencing now is the physical manifestation of what you were attracting BEFORE in your life, when you were attracting by default, before you became a conscious, deliberate user of the Law of Attraction! Default means no fault!!!
Don't put negative energy on what you're currently dealing with by feeling guilty or stressed by it. Remember that what is currently in your life is merely a result of what thoughts and feelings you were having in your past. Whereas, what thoughts and feelings you are having now (including the thoughts and feelings about those bills and that job!) will create what shows up in your future.
Just say, "Oh, I will happily deal with these bills. They are just numbers that have tallied up in a certain way due to my past attracting. I choose not to judge them as "bad." I bless them as reminders that I am now choosing differently. How fun it will be when I can soon juggle these numbers in a whole new, more prosperous way!"
By approaching it with this attitude, merely responsibly doing what you need to do, no different than doing other responsible tasks like the laundry, no big deal, while you're allowing all you've now asked for to come on in, you help to keep your feelings positive, or at least neutral, rather than blowing it all up into a big negative experience. And keeping your feelings positive is the trick to changing the whole pattern and turning it around so that you begin to attract abundance instead of more lack!
The moment you can deal with your current situation as it is, without letting it control you by making you feel bad, is the exact moment that you will begin to attract the new situation you've asked for into your life. By having power over how you feel rather than letting outside situations have power over you, you activate the amazing creator and attractor within you.
In abundance,

Melody i joined this forum a few weeks ago. after reading lots of posts and group discussions and watching the dvd, i was on a roll. I was excited at what was going to happen. I even started making notes in a book, and refererd back to them each day. However this past week i have not visited the forum. I have been struggling with The Secret & The Law Of Attraction.
I just wanted to thank you for the post as, it has started me climbing the mountain again. I do need to stay focused.
Kindest Regards

You're welcome. The more you let go and allow all this to happen, the smaller that mountain will become. Soon it will be a hill, and then just a little bump in the grass. And then, you'll see that there never was a mountain, except in your believing it to be there!

thank you melody very much this helps some, but i feel my situation is so much different. i only now can just see my situation i have no job no car and 10dollars to my name. i am staying with a family member who treats me alright, but i am a 29 year old man living off someone else. i have tried for the last several weeks to be grateful thankful but its not working. i went around friends and family on the holiday and really enjoyed myself to get my mind off my situation it worked momentarily. why when my situation is so urgent would the law of attraction not provide what is necessary for me? i have been here for the last two weeks and have met some really nice ppl who gave really good advice and i applied it really quickly to get real results asap but still nothing. i have stayed up late reading the secret book over and over watching the trailer online over and over and there has still been nothing. i was already a daydreamer where i could get lost in a day dream so i already had the power to visualize and believe what i would visualize so i thought this would be perfect for me. my daydreams were so good i would have to tell myself that never happened you were daydreaming again, but i am at a lose i am almost ready to give up but i have not accomplished many things in my life so i at least wanted to make this work i am sorry i had to vent on you please forgive me. someone on here said its always darkest before the dawn dont know if that is true or not but my situation has gotten a whole lot darker lol i am a positive person and i try to believe that something will change for the better i am one who talked ppl back from the brink of suicide negative ppl dont do thing like that i always encourage ppl so that is why i believed the secret(loa) would working tremendously for me and rapidly but it has not and i dont even no why.

Thanks for sharing your story Curt, I think it's so wonderful to put yourself out there. The situation you are in is a result of where your thoughts were in the past, so it is true that those thoughts will have to change before a new situation can manifest. The problem is that usually those thoughts are subconscious and over time they create beliefs and feelings that are deeply embedded in us. They tell us a story about who we are. If that story is not a positive one, no amount of visualizing will work because deep down we don't really believe we are worthy of what we are visualizing because of that story.
This is the one thing about the Secret that really upsets me. Nobody really talks about the fact that you have to change your beliefs about yourself, you have to create a new story, before even trying to manifest something! So then you feel like when you try to manifest something and it doesn't work for you, then YOU are doing something wrong and that just is not true!!!
The good news is, you are here and are realizing that something isn't working and are wondering how to make some really big changes in your life. That is the first step! The next step, before trying to manifest something else, is to take a look at that story in your head and to change it.
There is a reason you are where you are right now, and you have to find the message in it. What is this situation saying to you about who you have been until now? Who do want ot be instead of that?
As you say, you feel this situation is an urgent one and I guess you put out a lot of energy thinking about how urgent it is. (And who wouldn't, it IS stressful!) Like attracts like, that is how LOA works, so you are just perpetuating the urgent situation through your urgent feelings. LOA is providing for you, it is providing a manifestation of your current feelings, over and over but it feels like nothing is changing. Does that make sense?
To get a different result with LOA, you have to change those urgent feelings, and that is not easy. How do you do it? By going back to what I was talkig about before, by changing the story you've been telling yourself about yourself. I invite you to my other posting which talks about how to do this. Here is the link:
Shadow beliefs....
I hope this helps to answer your question. I can see that you are this beautiful person with a lot of love and light inside, you jsut need to see yourself that way too. I will send my energy your way and visualize you breaking through the barriers....
With love,
Melody

Curt, let me just add to Melody's excellent response--that your feeling of urgency is what attracts it--to suggest a possible substitute.
Why not see your staying with your friends as the blessing to them that it is? In how many ways are you enriching their lives, not with money but with your wit, your helpfulness, your being there for them?
The Universe is very efficient. It wastes nothing. In addition to the opportunity you now have to learn new ways of seeing yourself, it is also providing your friends with a companion and a chance to help someone else. It all works so beautifully! Try feeling grateful to be a part of such a clever arrangement.

I felt so touched by your story, please try to get a copy of Louise Hay book, You Can Change Your Life, borrow it, or borrow money to buy it or something, It is terrific, right up your alley, mine too! Things get better when you know and think and feel better, I dont mean feel better in the body since, I mean in the spiritual and soul since, please keep in touch and you can always come here and visit.
My daughter is a dreamer too! She is terrific and so are you.

Melody, thanks so much and VERY well done!
It took me awhile to really "get" that I was still focused on the "lack" even while I was pretending to be "feeling good." Now, I can immediately catch it and make the shift. I have found that focusing on my breathing REALLY helps, too!
Long, deep breathes and a powerful thought focus get me where I need to be.
Thanks for the reminder that we are amazing creators!
EXPECT Success!
