When you see a happy couple madly in love, and you desperately want a partner in your life, life is presenting the happy couple to you – for you to choose. But if you feel sad or lonely when you see the happy couple, you just gave out negativity, and in effect said, “I want to be sad and lonely.” You have to give love for what you want. If you are overweight and you’re walking down the street and a person with a perfect body passes you by, how do you feel? Life is presenting the great body to you for you to choose, and so if you feel bad because you don’t have that body, you just said, “I don’t want a body like that, I want the overweight body I have.” If you are struggling with some kind of disease, and you are surrounded by healthy people, how do you feel? Life is presenting healthy people to you so you can choose health, and so when you feel love for the health around you, more than you feel bad about a lack of health, you are choosing health for yourself.

When you feel good about anything any person has, you are bringing it to you. When you feel good about the success of another person, the happiness of another person, or all the good things anyone else has, you are choosing those things from the catalogue of life, and you are bringing them to yourself.

If you meet someone who has qualities you wish you had, love those qualities and feel good about those qualities in that person, and you are bringing those qualities to yourself. If someone is smart, beautiful, or talented, love those qualities and you choose those things for
you
!

If you want to become a parent and you’ve been trying for a long time, then give love and feel good every single time you see a parent with a child! If you feel depressed when you see children because you don’t have a child, then you are repelling and pushing children away from you. Life is presenting children to you each time you see them, so you can choose.

When you’re playing a sport and another person wins, when a work colleague tells you they got a pay raise, when someone wins the lottery, when a friend tells you that their spouse gave them a surprise gift of a weekend away, or that they bought a beautiful new house, or that their child won a scholarship, you should be as excited as they are. You should be as excited and happy as though it has happened to you, because then you are saying yes to it, then you are giving love to it, and you are bringing it to you!

When you see your dream car, a happy couple, the perfect body, children, great qualities in a person, or whatever it is you want, it means you are on the same frequency as those things! Be excited, because your excitement is choosing it.

Everything in life is presenting itself to you so you can choose what you love and what you don’t love, but only love brings what you want to you. Life’s catalogue contains many things you don’t love, so don’t choose them by giving bad feelings. Judge another person and think they’re bad, and you bring negativity to you. Feel envious or jealous of something another person has, and you bring negativity to you while pushing away the very thing you want with a mighty force. Only love brings what you want to you!

“This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

AUTHOR AND POET

The Law of One – You!

There is a simple formula you can use for the law of attraction that will stand you in good stead with every person, situation, and circumstance. As far as the law of attraction is concerned, there is only one person in the world – you! There is no other person, and nothing else as far as the law of attraction is concerned. There is only you, because the law of attraction is responding to
your
feelings! It’s only what
you
give that counts. And it’s the same for every other person. And so in truth the law of attraction is the law of
you
. There is only you, and there is no other person. For the law of attraction the other person is you, and that other person is you, and those other people are you, because whatever you feel about anyone else, you are bringing to
you
.

What you feel about another person, what you think or say about another person, what you do to another person – you do to you. Give judgment and criticism and you give it to yourself. Give love and appreciation to another person or anything, and you give it to yourself. There is no other for the law of attraction, so it makes no difference if someone else has what you want, when you feel love for it you’re including it in
your
life! And with anything you don’t love, simply turn away from it without judgment, and you won’t include it in your life.

There Is Only Yes for the Law of Attraction

Turn away from the things you don’t love and don’t give them any feeling. Don’t say no to the things you don’t love, because saying no brings them to you. When you say no to the things you don’t love, you’re feeling bad about them, you’re giving bad feelings, and you will receive those feelings back as negative circumstances in your life.

You can’t say no to anything, because when you say, “No I don’t want that,” you are saying
yes
to the law of attraction. When you say, “The traffic is terrible,” “The service is really bad,” “They’re always late,” “It’s so noisy in here,” “That driver is a lunatic,” “I’ve been on hold for so long,” you are saying
yes
to these things and you are including more of all of them in your life.

Turn away from the things you don’t love and don’t give them any feeling, because they are fine as they are but they have no place in your life.

“See no evil – hear no evil – speak no evil.”

Maxim on the Toshogu Shrine in Japan
(17th century)

Instead say
yes
when you see something you love. Say
yes
when you hear something you love. Say
yes
when you taste something you love. Say
yes
when you smell something you love. Say
yes
when you touch something you love. It doesn’t matter if you have it or not, say
yes
to it, because then you are choosing it by giving love.

There are no limits, and everything is possible if you really want it, if you really desire it. There is no lack anywhere in the universe. When people see a lack of anything, it’s simply a lack of love. There isn’t a lack of health, money, resources or happiness. The supply is equal to the demand. Give love, and you will receive!
