Life is really quite simple when you understand the rules, and quite baffling when you don't. If you have the presence of mind to learn the rules and apply them, you will stand out above the rest as everything clicks into place. Before we get started, ask yourself why you want anything in life. What do you think it will give you? If you search your feelings you have to come to the conclusion that it is because you think that it will make you feel better in some way or other. You also know, deep down, that unless you follow your life dreams and goals, you will never be truly happy.

In essence life will cause you to expand, and as you expand you cannot ever regress to less than you have become and feel happy. When you have identified that you want something, an improved life situation, you must make progress towards that improved state of being if you are to feel joy. Expansion in life is inevitable; whether you keep up with your expansion or not is optional. Some are happy to go along with their dreams and live happy lives, others are taught at an early age that they are unworthy, and are more reluctant to follow their dreams as they get older. These folks tend to feel the tension of their dreams and aspirations out there ahead of them, and the bad feeling associated with being nowhere near them. If you have powerful desire, then you might choose to dull this pain with a form of distraction, work, sex, drugs or alcohol. Or the pain may get too strong and cause you to exit the movie theatre early.

Some people who fail to keep up with their expanded selves come to the conclusion that the trick is to limit their own desire, as that was what they concluded was causing the pain in the first place. It wasn't desire per se, just their inability to keep up with their desire. They might become spiritualists who declare that one should want for nothing, and that the lusting after material possessions is wrong. Whatever they decide, it is their inability to keep up with their life's work that causes their pain, and they can only be truly joyful if they follow their dreams.

On the whole, people don't understand how they get what they get in life, and in their feeling of powerlessness they seek to think their way out of it. They strive to control the circumstances around them, creating rules and laws and trying to restrict the behaviour of others. If people were self-empowered, they wouldn't feel the need to legislate against anyone else, as they would understand how everything came to them. You can't think your way out of it, you have to feel your way

Indeed, its not until you let go of your attempt to control the outside world that you can come into your own power. Look inside yourself and control the way you feel. The great religious teachers all spoke of unconditional love, and this is what they meant. Feel good, regardless of the conditions. Conditional love sounds a bit like this: "I will feel good when I see things which please me, and bad when I see things which don't". Unconditional love says " I will love you regardless of what you do, because love is who I really am, and there is nothing more important than feeling good because when I feel good I am allowing the goodness of life to flow through me, I feel alive and I feel good" How then to practice unconditional love? By giving people the benefit of the doubt, by realising that they are trying their best, that they might be having a bad day, by realising that you'd rather be happy than right, and that ultimately it feels so right to feel good and so wrong to feel bad. It's no that you're bad, just that your thoughts in that moment are. When your mother scolded you when you were young and called you bad, your bad feeling wasn't because you were bad, but because your thoughts of yourself (which you got from your angry mother) were so far from what you really know to be true, that you felt the dissonance.

Unfortunately the majority are trained away from their own true power as they grow up surrounded by people who are living conditional love. These well meaning caregivers need others to modify their behaviour in order for them to feel good. Unfortunately for you this trains you away from the only important thing in life; the way that you feel. The only thing of any importance to you, is the way that you feel. It determines everything that comes to you. Everything else really is irrelevant. So to get to this point where you can control the way you feel, and therefore how the world responds to you, you need to understand where your emotions come from and why they are so important to you.

So what are the rules of the game of life? Let's start at the beginning. How does the world relate to you? How do you get what you get in life? How is it that some people are living lives of great abundance and joy, while others seem to struggle to keep their heads above water financially, and have dissatisfying relationships with almost everyone they interact with, even total strangers? Do I need to buy that new radar detector for my car to avoid getting speeding tickets? It life based on luck? Is it a lack of fairness in the system? Should we take things away from people who have 'too much' and give it to people who need it? How can we make sense of such a complicated system without going crazy?

So many questions, but where to start? We need to stop trying to 'think' our way and start to 'feel' our way along the path. Emotions are a powerful guidance that few understand, but appreciation for them will lead to personal satisfaction and a joyful life experience. But before we discuss emotions, we need to talk about The Law. That's right folks, it's The Law of Attraction, the only law worth talking about.

Law of Attraction orchestrates everything, everywhere. Not just here on planet earth, but everywhere in physical and non-physical realities, of which there are vast numbers. So if you're going to have a joyful life, you probably need to know about it so you can play life by life's rules. Law of Attraction matches up like and like things. You may have heard the expression "Birds of a Feather Flock Together". What this means to you and me is that we attract to us things which match who we are. Match who we are? In what way?

It you consider your brain as a radio receiver and transmitter, with the ability to tune in to unlimited frequencies. Good feeling happy high flying thoughts have high frequencies and bad feeling, sad, depressing thoughts have low frequencies. When we tune into these frequencies, law of attraction will match us up with the frequency to which we are tuned. Tune to love and see the love in the world. Tune to beauty and see how much beauty there is in the world. Tune to abundance and see the natural abundance in the world. Of course the same goes for the negatives of all of these things, but I wouldn't recommend you look for those. It's not that these things have been created by your thoughts. They were there all along, it's just that you can see them now that you are tuned into their frequency. You have rendez vous'd with them.

In the real world, how does Law of Attraction work? If I copy successful people, will I become like them, successful? It depends. If the imitation of that person makes you feel like a successful person, then you will eventually achieve success, because law of attraction is only responding to the way you feel. If you act successful and still feel a failure, then the success you seek will continue to elude you until you feel better about your situation. Stop acting, and feel the way you want to feel and let the world respond to your thought vibration.
