How Ready Are You to be a Law of Attraction Master?

1. You may feel your anointment or appointment, but you may not be ready yet.

I heard a version of this statement the other day and really liked it. It reminded me that there is an order to all things. The more significant or valuable, the more time is usually involved.

Many who want mastery of the Law of Attraction believe that if they read one or more books, watch one or more films, or buy one or more programs, some osmosis will occur or some switch will flip, and they’ll be successful masters.

We kind of wish that about a lot of things. Understandable as we live in a society that emphasizes speed and instant gratification.

Why isn’t it LOA mastery this simple? Think about a surgeon.

Someone who decides to become a successful surgeon has to start at the beginning of that training, observe others, and apply themselves through action until their ability to perform is a fact. The person has to allow for a learning curve, time for experiences involved to build knowledge of how the smaller bits fit into the bigger picture, and opportunities to practice and fine-tune their skills. Application Is Imperative! You don’t want a surgeon adept at wishful thinking and affirmations only. I know I don’t.

There’s more to learn than just how to perform a specific surgery.

Compare this paralleled multi-faceted process to learning about and using Law of Attraction.

Some of the struggle many people have with LOA is a result of resistance to any experiential learning curve. It’s understandable since many are trying to end some form of pain, turmoil, or discomfort – as quickly as possible. And they believe LOA is the instant gratification solution.

Key Point: Do not allow yourself or anyone else to use comparisons to gauge how you’re doing – unless you’re comparing how you are today to how you were yesterday, or last week, or last year. (Note: Other people’s opinions have nothing to do with your reality.)

What are your thoughts, experiences, or beliefs about being a willing participant in this process?
