Many people think there is a conflict between the Law of Attraction, as taught in “The Secret” and goal-setting. The belief that you should let the Universe decide how to bring you your goal seems to conflict with planning your goal strategy.
A great majority of people believe that it is wrong to be too specific when they set goals. If we follow this approach how does setting a goal, complete with a plan for its attainment, fit into this attraction process?
These specifics should include completion date, a plan to follow that will lead to the achievement of the goal, stepping stone goals and highly specific details of the goal itself. You may set a goal to have an increase in turn-over of $10,000 by the end of the quarter. You immediately devise a plan to begin and increase sales to build your goal steps by setting smaller goals that will lead to bigger goals that will lead to the attainment of your desired outcome.
When these teachers talk of not getting caught up in the specifics they do not mean the goal itself. If you get specific in your goal and even set time-limits for specific tasks, then the Law of Attraction is responding to those thoughts and the feelings associated with them. As long as you don’t feel negative about your goal, or the plan you have devised, goal-setting like this can be very powerful.
If you set your aims too high, or make your goals unrealistic, then the Law of Attraction will work against you! By setting realistic goals, that do still stretch you, you can fully utilize the Law of Attraction to your advantage.
By setting goals and working a plan to achieve it you are actually focusing your energy, thoughts and emotions towards that of the desired objective. By having set time-limits for the achievement of each step of your goal and the goal itself your thoughts, energy and feelings are also focused in that direction. Be open to the universe bringing you your goal any way it sees fit!
The key is to always remain focused on the goal itself and not on the lack of it! You must also ensure you do not get frustrated if it appears that you may not reach your goal in the time-limit you specified.
Set realistic easily managed goals at. Once you become proficient at goal-achievement you can start to stretch yourself a little more each time. As you begin to see overwhelming evidence that the Law of Attraction exists and that it is working in your favour you will be able to set you goals higher and bigger until there is nothing you cannot achieve.
Remember that when you reach for a goal to generate as much positive thoughts and feelings you can as they will add power to your efforts through the Law of Attraction thus attracting more and more things to you that will get you closer and closer to your objective, until finally it falls in your lap!
