Understanding what the Law of Attraction can do is important, but it doesn’t do you much good to know what it is if you don’t know how to use it to achieve success in your own life.

Once you have mastered the basics of the Law of Attraction you will be able to apply it to any area in your life.

The first step in finding success through the Law of Attraction is to accept responsibility for the things that have occurred in your life, both good and bad. This is often the most difficult part of achieving success through manifestation because we are taught from childhood to believe that our environment contributes in a large part to the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

It’s very hard to take the responsibility and acknowledge the fact that your environment was not the major contributing factor in each of these events; in many cases, you will have no one to blame but yourself.

To help yourself move past these events take a moment and write down on a piece of paper all of the major events in your life (again, both good and bad). Leave plenty of room underneath each one. Now, take a moment to go back and review these events.

Write down what you were feeling at the time they happened, how you felt before they happened and what events had occurred prior to this. Chances are you’re going to find that events occurring in your favor occurred at times when you were possessed of a positive attitude and other things in your life were going right.

On the flip side, events which occurred probably happened concurrently with other events in your life which caused you to have a negative outlook on life. Coincidence?

Once you have accepted the fact that you’re responsible for your own fate it is time to go one step further and determine what it is about your life that you would like to change.

- Do you want to find another job? 
- Move to a new house? 
- Enter a meaningful relationship? 
- Receive a promotion?

Identify the things you wish to achieve and write them down. Display them in a prominent place; constantly being able to view the anticipated results of your endeavors will help to keep you on the right track. With the creation of this list you’re asking the universe for what you want.

Take the time to think on this for a while so that it is embedded firmly in your mind, and keep your goals specific; making a goal too big or too general is an almost certain guarantee that you will not be able to achieve it because you will be too busy worrying about how you’re going to achieve it.

Raise your vibrations so that they are all positive. Act and feel as though you’re confident that the result you’re hoping for is going to occur. This is an essential part of the Law of Attraction because it is very easy to allow your mind to begin to wander to all the difficulties which you may encounter when trying to achieve your goals. This will cause your vibrations to become negative and will work against you rather than for you.

Accept that it can happen. Many times, your subconscious is your own stumbling block; you will be attempting to convince your conscious mind that something can happen while at the same time your subconscious is picking out the reasons that it will never work.

To help yourself overcome this stumbling block and have absolute faith in the fact that you will be able to effect this change in your life you should look again at the sheet of paper upon which you have written your goals and attempt to write them in terms that will help your mind and body accept them as fact.
