Forcefulness Is Not the Only Way To Attract

Remaining open and nurturing a fertile inner environment

What illusions must I dispel?

My Achilles heal (that which is my weakness but has also allowed me to heal with arriving awareness) has always been my need to be the person to force things into being or to control my reality. As you can imagine this never turns out as we wish it to, mainly because there is much more to attraction than pure force.

If we wish to attract things in our life from work to relationships we must first create an inner environment that reflects that which we wish to attract.

It took me a long time to learn this, and my learning mainly came through experience rather than reading or researching (although most of the books I have read back up my self-discoveries).

All of my uncomfortable learning has led me to where I am now, a place of great contemplation and reflection.

I must remain true to this new understanding and I must remain strong in my need to dispel the illusion that forcefulness attracts to you what you want.

Forcefulness attracted to me not what I wanted, but what I needed to learn and see. Without this awareness and understanding, I would have been left going around and around in toxic cycles and patterns, as I indeed was for so long.

If it weren’t for the harsh brutal truths, the changes in my life would not have been possible.

Force not only attracts, but it also repels. When I started clueing in to the fact my life was becoming a bunch of revolving doorways taking me around and around in circles I realized something had to change. And when I came to the realization the common denominator in all my life experiences was me, I understood where my effort and work had to go.

Even on the adventure of my inner journey, I had to release the forceful nature I had become so accustomed to having just to survive in reality.

I had to let go of all the ways I was taught and believed to be true, to create change.

I had to swap forcefulness with patience, gentleness, and inner-compassion.

I had to drop the association I had made between force and action.

I had to learn to practice mindful action rather than forceful action.

I had to dive to the deepest depths within me to uncover the treasure chest of faith just waiting to be discovered.

I had to take one small step at a time and disregard the fearful persuasions of others.

I knew when I discovered a new way to live I would have to let go of many of the things from my past. I knew In deciding to be a truth seeker I would have to commit to a lifetime of uncomfortable learning.

I willingly signed on the dotted line though, I took the truth-revealing red pill.

I want to continue to dispel illusions I have stored away in the depths of my humanness. I hope to continue to look for the truth when other people run from it and fear it.

I have also dispelled the illusion I am anything other than divine. All those years seeing the divinity in everyone else around me helped me to see it was within me too all along. Without the veil of forcefulness and control clouding up the lens of my vision, I can see things with greater clarity now.

Force isn’t the way I attract things to me anymore. I am open to receiving higher wisdom from all sources now, to be a magnet for what I need to have and experience in my life.

Surrender and working on myself is how I am attracting now and with this, I welcome the new.
