Law of Attraction: What Will People Think?

Do the opinions of others about you and your choices matter more than your own? What do you attract into your life when you make choices based on the wishes (or demands) of others rather than what's appropriate for you?

Alchemy Statement 24 from "Law of Attraction Alchemy" states:

I know I sometimes appear different than who I really am . . . an Extraordinary, Unique Expression of the Infinite . . . and know the only opinion of myself that matters is my own.

Opinions of others may be interesting and even sometimes helpful; but if you make the opinions of others about you and your life choices more important than your own, you'll live an unfulfilled life. Nor can it matter how you appear to others when you're on purpose about your life.

If you allow others to decide your value or worth, or attempt to tell you how to live, this depletes your energy. Listening to others rather than to yourself, keeps you from focusing on what you feel and desire to experience, as well as the truth of who you are as an expression of Source Consciousness.

You're the only one who knows what's appropriate for you. Until you quiet the noise in your mind created by input from others, and the world around you, you can't get in touch with your head-and-heart alignment.

People wonder and strive to find out what their purpose in life is. Our purpose is to live and expand our personal power . . . to share the process and outcomes of doing this with others. No one but you can decide how that looks and feels for you; and, no one else should.

Many of us heard not-so-good statements about ourselves as we grew up. Some of us weren't supported and encouraged in the way we would have liked to be, in a way that helped us feel strong about ourselves and our ability and right to make choices. The result was less self-esteem and belief in ourselves than would support us in life, and our lives reflect this. This doesn't have to stay our experience of ourselves and our reality.

Nor are we required to rehash or relive the statements that became programs we play over and over, especially at the subconscious level. We can imprint new statements, new programs, as the "tapes" we play. Not only that, we can believe them because they're true.

Because Law of Attraction says your word (including the unspoken) is law, and fulfills what you focus on, the way to shift your experience of life is to restate your "law," that is, put new directives into the quantum field and yourself. However, every word of a new statement is important. Law of Attraction is impartial as it follows your exact words.

My "Law of Attraction Alchemy" e-book and online workshop and coaching program emerged from what I can only call Divine Inspiration. I felt my own "confusion and frustration" at one time, and began to ask better questions. One feeling I had during the C&F period was, "I know how this feels for me. I know there are others who feel the same." At that moment, I felt my passion and purpose to assist others to "ease their pain" pulse like a light inside of me. As Kurt Wright stated, "Commitment is a magnet." As soon as I opened myself to learn and grow in regard to the Law of Attraction and faith in the Truth of Source and how reality works, my life was a sequence of inspired events and connections.

Another "fact" about this time was, though I knew what I felt and I trusted the inspirations I received, I appeared a certain way to people who believed I should be following a different path. At my core, I knew if I listened to them, I'd be disavowing my faith in Spirit . . . and in myself as an expression of Spirit. No matter how many challenges I attracted, also known as gifts to learn and grow from, I knew the inner freedom I sought could only happen if I stayed committed to my path.

Any perceived negative becomes a "fact" of our experience because we imagine it into becoming just that; but, it isn't the truth. It's an experience but not a reality of spirit, which we are. We simply need to remember to look underneath the layers of beliefs and manifestations . . . the cause and effect we perpetuate in our lives. Experiences may, indeed, become facts; but they are never necessary.

One of the most effective and long-lasting ways to manage your inner power better is to listen to your Self. Keep integrity in your mind and heart, and be completely honest with yourself about your best interests, desires, and dreams.

Never give another's opinion more weight than your own. Both of you are expressions of spirit having an experience called life. We're all entitled to make the most of this opportunity and to decide what our path looks like as we do this.
