Janet White and I have been sharing our personal stories about how the Law of Attraction or Power of Thought has been a powerful influence in both of our lives. In fact, we would not live our lives any other way. We’ve both learned to direct our thoughts in a deliberate and positive way and the results are just amazing. In assisting our clients, we’ve also taught them the same principles and they too have been delighted with the results.
Below is an article that Janet gave me permission to share with you. She explains what the Law of Attraction is and how you can apply the principles to your search.
At the bottom of the article, I’ve included a link to Janet’s book for job seekers.
Ask and the Job is Yours
Special article written by Janet White
You always get what you “ask” for through your thoughts and feelings, so what are you asking for? Having that great job or worrying what will happen if you don’t get it?
I can hear you saying, “That sounds far too easy. Just ask for the job I want and I can have it?” Yes, it really is that easy. The hard part is believing it is.
That’s because you’ve been taught to believe that job hunting is hard, and you should expect a long, difficult and problem-filled struggle. Well, if that’s what you believe, then that’s how your job hunt will be. It doesn’t have to be that way, and this article will explain why.
You’re probably read lots of job hunting articles and books and found that despite the confusing and often conflicting advice, they all say pretty much the same thing: you have to do something specific to make your dream job happen, and if you don’t get hired, it’s because you didn’t do it correctly.
So, you’re told to put in or leave out an objective, to “sell yourself” at every opportunity and to be prepared to be called at any hour of the day or night by a stranger who has the authority to interrogate you on matters which have nothing to do with the kind of work you want to do.
Being between jobs is bad enough because it’s naturally to be filled with fear, doubt and confusion, but this system of job hunting adds insecurity, unworthiness and loneliness to the mix. If you can identify with this, you might be ready for a change.
I am going to share with you something so simple – yet powerful – that it may change your life. It is an ancient principle that has been written about, taught and also suppressed for thousands of years, and when you understand it, you can use it to bring that dream job – and anything else you desire – into your life easily and effortlessly.
It is the Law of Attraction (LoA), which many people are coming to learn about through a DVD and book called “The Secret.” www.thesecret.tv The Law of Attraction states that you attract to yourself anything you focus on, give feeling to or think about consistently.
The Law of Attraction creates demonstrations of whatever you think about, feel, or believe. These demonstrations can come in the form of experiences, objects, relationships, health, money, and yes, a job.
Here are some basic principles of the Law of Attraction:
It works for everyone exactly the same way all the time. It is totally impersonal, has no feelings, doesn’t have opinions, pass judgment or play favorites.
It is always “on.” You can’t turn it on or off, get away from it or affect it in any way.
The Law of Attraction is entirely, totally and absolutely predictable. We don’t know how it works, but we know that it works. In fact, you are using the Law of Attraction right now, whether or not you know it, through your conscious – and subconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
So what does this mean to you? It means that you are creating your own reality right now through your thoughts and beliefs (even your subconscious or “hidden” beliefs).
In other words, when you focus on what a tough time you’re having finding a new job, you’re having a tough time finding a new job simply because you’re focusing on what a tough time you’re having!
The good news is that you can to use the Law of Attraction to bring you what you want, instead of more of what you don’t want.
The bad news is that it requires you be constantly aware of what you’re thinking and then replace any negative thoughts with positive ones.
Let’s take another look at the negative affirmations we started out with and then replace them with positive ones.
Negative Affirmation: I’d love to do that, but I can’t because [fill in the blank].
Positive Affirmation: I’d love to do that, and I can give up any resistance and be the perfect candidate.
Negative Affirmation: No one returns my calls.
Positive Affirmation: Since I want this job, it’s up to me to call them.
Negative Affirmation: There are no decent jobs in my field.
Positive Affirmation: There is plenty of opportunity for me in my field right here in my area. I probably haven’t been looking for them in the right places.
Negative Affirmation: There’s just too much competition.
Positive Affirmation: There is more than enough work for everyone who wants to work, and my perfect job is waiting for me to claim it.
Negative Affirmation: I hate being interrogated in interviews.
Positive Affirmation: My interviews are pleasant conversations with my peers and whether or not we end up working together, it’s always nice to meet someone new.
Negative Affirmation: Looking for work is a full-time job, and no one ever said it was easy.
Positive Affirmation: Everything I do brings me closer to my right employment, and I look forward to each new day with joy, knowing that my dream job is mine now and is already on its way to me. And so it is!
Remember – you always get what you ask for, so make sure you ask for what you want, not what you don’t want!
