Working on Character as Well as Success

Ever since the “Law of Attraction” came out, there’s been so much hype about getting what you want. Don’t get me wrong. I’m trying to “manifest” some things myself, but the reality is that this concept in not new and moreover, it’s not easy to do. If it were that easy to do, every body would be doing it and experiencing great success and we’d all be holding hands singing “Kumbaya”.

Maybe one of the reasons why it’s not that easy to do is because of flaws in our character. Don’t scream at me just yet. Consider this. Maybe we don’t have all of what we want because our character doesn’t support it yet. You know the story of people who become instant millionaires only to find that within a few years or even shorter, they’re right back to where they started (and in worse condition no less). Who’d want to be in that position?

Now here’s the point I’m trying to make. Work on your character as well as your success. Begin focusing manifesting the things you want, but also begin working on your character. Many people want to live life in such a grand way, but the underlying motive is that they live in fear – the fear of losing it all. What I’m proposing is that you lose the fear. Many people want to horde all the money they can and party their way into the next decade. The reality is that to become a millionaire or even a billionaire, you’ve got to think about someone else other than yourself or your needs. Many people don’t have a clue as to what they’re going to do with the money once they get it. That’s also bad because the lack of goals will not sustain you when you have to go and claim your millions.

Part of the problem with the way that the Law of Attraction is being presented is that it gives the idea that money will somehow rain from heaven with little or no work. False! False! False! If you believe that you won’t have to work in order to become financially prosperous, guess again. Honestly, when has that ever really happened to someone’s benefit? When money comes to us that easily, there are no lessons that help build our character and we end up losing it all.

While some cases may encounter the “easy money” situation in their lives, eventually, people will ultimately realize that it’s really opportunity presenting itself that brings in the money rather than waiting for it to drop down upon us. Unfortunately, people will have to overcome character issues like laziness, fear and greed in order to get that opportunity pay off.

With all that being said, the Law of Attraction works. That part is not wrong, but what may be keeping you from your greatest successes in life is not that money is not flowing to you, but that you are unable to walk through the doors of opportunity to get it.
