I’ve been reading the stories on The Secret website for quite some time now, and I’m very grateful for them because it’s so inspiring to hear about all the different dreams people are now living thanks to their beliefs. While I was planning on writing one of my own, I kept waiting for something really big to happen that I could write about. Then today I realized that plenty of things have already happened in my life because of the law of attraction! I’d like to share a few to give back for all the inspiration I’ve received from others’ stories.

Acting: I used to be very shy, and I started attending an acting class to help me become more confident. After a couple of weeks, I decided to try doing it professionally. I signed up for a website that was supposed to help me get auditions, but at first, I only got one. It didn’t go well, and I stopped hearing back from the other auditions I applied to. It got so frustrating that I decided to stop applying for any more auditions.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try again and put the law of attraction to work. For a week and a half, I still didn’t hear back from anyone. Instead of focusing on that, I just kept telling myself that an audition would come. I believed that the Universe knew what to do, and when the time was right, it would happen. A few days later, I got the opportunity to be an extra on a student film. Shortly after that, I got something even better: an audition for a web series, and on top of that, if I got cast, I’d be paid for working on it! I’m excited to see what else the law of attraction is going to bring. I know it’ll be awesome.

Weight: I was unhappy with my body for a long time. Although I wasn’t overweight, I wanted to be thinner and more toned. I tried to use the LoA to manifest the body that I wanted and made myself visualize constantly about how I wanted it to look. The more I did, however, the more I hated the body that I already had. When I came back from studying abroad, I was shocked to find out that I’d gained about fifteen more pounds. It seemed like the law of attraction was working against me. I was upset about it, to say the least.

So, I asked the Universe to show me a sign as to what I should do about manifesting my perfect body. Later that day, I was at a doctor’s office when that really popular song from “Frozen” came on – the “Let It Go” one. Then I realized I’d missed one of the most important steps in the law of attraction, letting go of my unhappiness about my weight and my worries about whether or not it would happen. I started doing the same thing I did with my acting, just telling myself that it would happen and in the meantime, I looked fine the way I was. I stopped forcing myself to visualize all the time, too. The result? I lost six pounds in less than a week! It was amazing! Unfortunately, I did become frustrated again, so I gained them back. But now I know exactly what to do if I want the body of my dreams – I need to let it go and let the Universe do its job.

There have been other stories in my life of how the law of attraction has helped me, but those two are some of the bigger ones. If there’s anything I have learned, it’s this: don’t give up on your dream, it will happen. The desperation to have what you want and being upset when you don’t get it is the roadblock to the law of attraction giving you what you want. Once you let go of that desperation, it will be mind-blowing how fast the manifestations roll in!
