What do you think about the Law of Attraction?
I believe in it, especially after the fiasco? I had yesterday.
If you’ve read any of my earlier posts you’ll know Alex Jeffreys is my mentor and he’s a pretty nice guy.
He’s also very busy.
Over the last few months I’ve been interviewing a few of his students in the hope of proving anyone can change their lives if they want to.
It’s been an interesting experience, and it’s become very clear if people have the right motivation, nothing stops them – not age, lack of funds, time , technical skills or other commitments.
Anyway, yesterday I’d arranged to interview Alex using Skype.
Now, Skype is new to me, and I usually use a different recording system. However, Alex said he’d record our interview using PAMELA, which works with the Skype system, and ”shoot me over” a copy.
He assured me it was easy, and as he’s not known for his technical abilities, I decided to also download it onto my computer.
After all, if Alex can do it, so can I, right?
When the time for our call arrived, we connected with Skype, only to find Alex? couldn’t record for some reason, so I decided I’d use my PAMELA connection.
Firstly, I couldn’t find it on my computer, then I had to get instructions on how to use it.
Alex said, “Just press the red button”.
Easy!
Anyway, we had two trial runs to check the volume, etc, and then went for the real thing.
I remember thinking to myself, ”Don’t forget to press the red button”.
The Law? of Attraction says you can manifest the things you want into your life, and what you focus on expands, so you need to be careful with your thoughts.
Now, I don’t know if you’re aware of this but your brain doesn’t recognise negatives.
I KNOW that because whenever I speak to my son, who has autism, I have to tell him what I want him to do, not what I don’ t wan
t him to do.
For instance if I want him to stop running, I won’t say, “don’t run”, because he’ll ignore the “don’t” bit, and all he’ll hear is “run”.
Instead,? I’ll say, “Please walk”.
So why, oh why, did I say, “DON’T forget to? press the red button”?

NOTE: Alex was really “cool” about the whole thing and has promised me another session when he gets back from his working holiday. Next time I’ll say “PRESS the Red Button”!

Hey Jean, oh no, I will need to remember that the universe does not understand DON’T, need to always be focusing on the wants not the don’t wants, I am sure the interview will be fab when you get the chance to do it again, Sally
Hey Jean,
Great post! And really great insight about the use of negatives in your own thinking. Just changing negatives to positives (Press the red button vs. Don’t forget) makes a lot of things surprisingly easier. Thanks for the post!
Can’t wait for the interview also!
Peace,
Darren L Carter
Nice to see you again Sally.
Yes, remember to always focus on the positives. Thinking along those lines, the interview WILL be great!
Take care
Jean
Thanks Darren. It’s true – the simplest things are usually the best.
Love the new look of your blog by the way and your words of wisdom.
Take care
Jean

Hi Jean,
I so pleased to find you still blogging and in touch with Alex. I got a bit lost and was absent for a year while trying to resolve an issue with a sharketer who scammed me in 2007. I didn’t give up trying and always believed, against all odds, that I would get my $15,000 back. I did. The law of attraction worked for me because I truly believed. Anyhow, I’m back with Alex again doing a refresher course, with a new blog and more determination than ever. I really look forward to hearing the interview. All the best,
Gail
Hi Gail, Nice to hear from you again, but sorry to hear about your financial difficulties.
There are a lot of sharks around and I often wonder how they sleep at night.
So pleased you didn’t lose your faith altogether though and are back on track.
Keep “failing forward”!
Take care
Jean
Hi Alex,
Glad you dropped by.
Yes, the call was going well wasn’t it, but I’m a firm believer things happen for a reason
so, maybe that one wasn’t meant to be.
We’ll get it right next time so I hope you’ve been practicing your accent!
Hey Jean,
great post I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and i fully agree that we all have to use positve minframe and positive words more in our lives.
I’m sure you were very frustrated when your interview with Alex did’t work but you woun’t make that mistake again. I look forward to hearing your interview when you finnally get it done.
Cheers
Adam
Thanks, but I’ll bet you’re not looking forward to it as much as I am!
Jean
