We Attract What We Are
It's been said that, "To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract." Many people want some extraodinary things but their self-image limits them on what they actually receive. A person cannot attract to themselves that which is greater than the way they see themselves. For example, as long as we think and act like a moker, we're sure to keep smoking regardless of the patches, hypnosis, drugs or other cures we may seek. The same goes whether we're wanting to lose weight, find a mate, or find a more satisfying career. Until we begin to think and act like the person who has the things we desire we'll never attract those things. People who have successful marriages don't think and act the way they do because they have successful marriages, they have successful marriages because they think and act a certain way. The same is true with people who have accumulated great wealth. They have wealth because they think and act in a manner that is conducive to attracting it. Many people work very hard and sacrifice a lot in an effort to create the best life possible. But they are frustrated beyond belief and cannot understand why "life is so hard" or "why life continues to deal them such a poor hand." Life is only hard because one believes that it is. Life will continue to deal a poor hand to those who believe that it will. People do not attract what they want, but that which they are. Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." They only way to attract what we want is to change the way we're thinking about ourselves in certain situations. We need to get a different picture. Even if it is hard to believe. It's been said that the longer you tell ourselves a lie the more we will begin to accept it ourselves. In all reality though, we will be telling ourselves the truth. The truth is, we are winners, and we can have the things we desire. Jesus died that we may have life in abundance (John 10:10). Many times, we just need to change your expectations. No matter what negative circumstances we may find ourselves in, we need to expect things to turn around in our favor. When we stop working on what it is we're trying to get, and start working on changing the way we see ourselves, only then will we get what it is we want. When we change our thinking, our results will change.
