Be Like A Magnet
November 30, 2007 by Kenrick Cleveland
What does it take to be magnetic? Can we really draw money, love or health simply by telling ourselves we are magnets for what we want?
It’s easier than you think. It simply takes a shift in perception.
Pay attention to what you focus on. Do you automatically expect a depressing day when it rains? Do you make assumptions that you’ll be happy when it’s sunny? What would happen to assume all rainy days are going to be glorious because you can splash through puddles or get indoor activities taken care of.
Focus on good, good will come to you. Focus on grief, you will draw grief. I’m not suggesting that there’s no place for grief, but just that we need to realize we need not suffer over our own suffering and automatically make ourselves into grief magnets.
I overheard a girl in a caf the other day telling her friend, ‘I’m a freak magnet. I can’t leave my apartment without running into someone either clinically insane or whacked out on drugs or fanatical about some weirdness who wants to have extensive interaction with me.’
The friend responded, ‘That’s so strange. You live in a really nice place, in a really nice neighborhood. You wouldn’t think there’d be that many weirdoes around.’
‘They’re everywhere I am. It’s like they’re out there waiting for me to leave my house just so they can shout in my face or try to get me to join their cult.’
Of course, I didn’t interrupt, but I thought to myself, how awful for this girl to believe this about herself. She’s unconsciously drawing the lowest common denominator to her by putting out this energy into the world.
This is really how attraction works. What you think about yourself, you are. What you believe about the world, is your reality. What you speak, is your truth.
I was so tempted. . . I wanted to tell her, ‘You’re programming yourself to be a freak magnet. You could just as easily be a money magnet, or a parking space magnet. . .’ but I realized that my intrusion would only further her self-diagnosis. She’d completely misinterpret my attempt at kindness as just another freak, as in, ‘You wouldn’t believe the freak that came up to me in the cafe. . . He seemed normal, but. . . ‘
Whatever your beliefs, I implore you, take this freak’s advice and adjust your expectations of what the world is going to bring you and start requesting only good and not the lowest common denominator.
