You are Not a Human Doing – You are a Human Being….

Today I visited Marie Benard’s blog, Synchronicity Radio. I read her post “Law of Attraction vs. Action” I was drawn to this article immediately because of the title… I have heard other’s express LOA versus Action.

Marie asks some excellent questions about the Law of Attraction – Action – Doing – Being –

There seems to be a huge misunderstanding about the Law of Attraction- so instead of leaving a very, very long comment at Marie’s blog – I came here to sort this all out.

I hear these misconceptions about the Law of Attraction quite often.

Marie says – “…..all you have to do is get feeling good and sit on your butt and things will come knocking on your door.”

She is far from the first person I have heard express this idea. Rightly so – she is frustrated. I have to wonder – Who is teaching this stuff?!

I’m not sure if any person is actually teaching LOA in this manner as much as it is our own old stories that are being mixed in with the teachings.

I know from my client’s and my own experience we have a lot of beliefs around success in life – business – money….

Here are just a few of the things we have been taught:

• Work Hard
• Sacrifice
• You have to do things you don’t like to do
• You have to be competitive
• You have to get there first – before someone else gets it

Then we read a book or see a movie like The Secret and we hear someone say – We can Be, Do or Have anything we want with little effort. Whoa – that blows our beliefs, our old stories, right out of the water!

I think our brains react like a pinball machine on Tilt

We hear -  “little effort” – To many of our brains that means – I don’t have to do those things I don’t like to do – which then turns into – that means “No Action”

See the tilt here - many times we equate the word “action” – with things we don’t like to do. The concept of “little effort” totally goes against those old stories of what we have been taught on how to be successful.

If you are equating the word “Action” with the meaning of “Doing things you don’t like to do”….. Then, I too, would be telling you the Law of Attraction teaches you “No Action”

Stay with me here…..

If you are like me – You do not like to get up very early in the morning… And for those of you who are happy early risers – I’ll take this a step further – I think I can safely say – none of us would love the idea of getting up early in the morning with only 2 hours sleep…..

So the alarm goes off after those 2 hours of sleep – you barely reach over – turn it off and barely get your body up out of that bed… This is an Action – that you do not like to do….

Let’s change the scenario just a little bit – Same 2 hours of sleep – but on this day when the alarm goes off it is waking you to begin your 2 week cruise on the Mediterranean or whatever your perfect vacation would be! – While you might reach over just as slowly – you then realize – Oh today I am going on my fabulous vacation – and you are up and gathering your items and raring to go! You are excited about your day – This is Inspired Action!

Same action – one was motivated – one was inspired…  What is the difference?

Lets say in the first scene – it was a work day and you even might like your job – but this isn’t what you would choose to do on only 2 hours of sleep. Yet… you know you can’t call in sick on that day and you want the full paycheck at the end of the week – So you are motivated to take that action of getting up.

Second scenario – You are excited about this day. You have high expectations of having a fantastic vacation. You are eager for this experience – hence you are Inspired to get up and begin this day!

Scene one – You are Doing – Your Being is not very excited – You are not lined up with feeling good.

Scene Two – You are BEING first – which then produces the Doing – the Inspired Action.

Both actions worked – they got you out of bed… But the motivated action carries a heavier vibration – where the inspired action carries a happy, light vibration – Which signal would you want to be sending out?

I know what you are saying… Duh – Ellie – of course I am Being excited about this fabulous vacation and not being so excited about going to my job…

What if you could be so excited about your life that all your actions would be inspired? What would your life look like?

Most people’s brains will go back to that old idea of – Well in order for that to happen I have to Do the things I don’t like in order to Have the things I want in order to Be happy. That is the equation most of us have been taught and it is an underlying belief in our thought systems.

How has it been working out for you?

While it has worked for some – I know from my own and others experience – that system of Do – Be – Have does not always work. I will go as far to say – it rarely works! I certainly have followed that system – did not get the results I was looking for and then ended up feeling like a failure.

When I finally understood the Law of Attraction that failure made perfect sense to me! Here I was following a system that really did not sit well with me. What kind of vibration am I putting out by doing that? What kind of signal am I sending out – believing I have to do things I don’t like to do in order to get things I like!

The Law of Attraction does not say “Don’t take Action”….

None of us came to this highly physical and interactive society to just sit on a rock — We came into this physical experience to be involved in life – to get our hands into the clay and mold our own unique sculptures.

Truthfully sitting on a rock – making a wish and have it appear – while it might sound lovely at first – I do believe life would be extremely boring!

The Law of Attraction says first line up with your desires – First BE – Be Happy – Be Success. Be aware of the abundance around you – Be aware of the exciting journey of life – Be aware of your power.

And… as You Be the Magnificent Creator that you are – You will find yourself doing inspired action. You will find yourself lining up with all the desires you hold in life – You will find yourself not feeling dragged down by things but instead uplifted by thoughts you deliberately choose.

Everything is energy vibrating at different levels. When you are Being Happy – you are emitting a vibration – Law of Attraction can only bring to you what you are sending out.

You could line up with going to work on 2 hours of sleep – even if the initial action was unpleasant – you are still able to turn it around as your day goes on. The Law of Attraction is always about – what signal are you sending out to the Universe? If you stay angry, upset all day because you went to work on 2 hours sleep – you are going to attract to you angry, upsetting situations.

At any point of your day -

• You can turn your attention to things that please you.
• You can make peace with a yucky situation.
• You can run thoughts that your business isn’t working – or you can run thoughts that you are lining up with this business working.

You always (all ways) get to choose…..
