Learning to Be!
Whether you have been perusing the self-help or personal development section of the book store, been around people who are looking for personal success or whether you are part of or know of people in spiritual circles, The Secret or Law of Attraction is a big topic and has been for years.
Most people think they are bad at meditating.
Can’t sit still and turn your thoughts off for at least 20 minutes?
You’re not bad at meditating, you’re just a human with a brain.
Actually, most of us already meditate—we just do it accidentally. You know that feeling when you are taking a shower, and the warm water pours over your body, and you forget what you were rushing to get ready for? Time disappears for a moment, and when you step out of the shower you snap out of it.
The First Law
Nothing can stop you from starting over.
The greatest power you possess for succeeding in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose to start fresh. Nothing that stood in your way even a heartbeat before stands there now in the same way. It”s all new, even if you can”t as yet see it that way. You”ve only to test the truth of this fact about the newness of life to discover the incredible freedom that waits for you just behind it. And then nothing can stop you.

Chapter I
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IN THE THOUGHT WORLD.
THE Universe is governed by Law – one great Law. Its manifestations are multiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one Law. We are familiar with some of its manifestations, but are almost totally ignorant of certain others.
Find ways to Appreciate “where you are right now” in order to move to “where you want to be.”
This is a very important part of Law of Attraction. If you appreciate where you are, you will more easily be able to move to where you want to be. If you are looking at where you are as not a good place, then you are focused on the unwanted. So, as Law of Attraction will have it, you will get more of the unwanted. This is a hard one for many people to wrap their minds around.
