Don’t think about the Eiffel Tower.
--------------------------------------------------
If you are like most people, you just thought about the Eiffel Tower – even though that’s the exact opposite of what I said. This is a great example of one of the core concepts we need to understand to begin successfully on the path to greatness. Essentially, what you think about and give your attention to is what you attract. Just like in the example above, the Law of Attraction can not distinguish between do and don’t; it simply responds to what you give your attention to.
Changing what we give our attention to begins with our language. The words Don’t, Can’t, Not, No, and Won’t are all negative and usually come in before we acknowledge or give attention to something negative. In order to apply the Law you need to give your attention to what you DO want and stop giving it to what you DON’T want.
When I began thinking about writing this post earlier this week I started really looking through my business correspondences from suppliers and clients (emails, letters, voicemails, ads) to see if I could spot any examples of negative attention – I was shocked. Out of the 15 random communications I selected 12 of them had written statements that were attracting negative results to them! Here are a few examples:
1. We will not be undersold.
2. Don’t hesitate to call.
3. There is no better product on the market.
4. You will not be disappointed.
5. The technology is not hard to learn.
In each of the 5 statements above the original writers are actually drawing the very things they don’t want into their businesses! Referring back to the Eiffel Tower example can you see how those statements are invoking the Law of Attraction in a negative way to the person that wrote them? By simply changing our language we can attract what we DO want. Here are the same 5 statements re-written:
1. We offer the best price.
2. Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance.
3. This is the best product of the market.
4. You will be extremely satisfied.
5. The technology is easy to learn.
Take a look at the business communications you are sending out and see if you can spot negative attraction, think about what you do want and re-write it to attract that to you. If you have any other examples of negative statements that can be re-written in the positive, please share them in the comments section!
