What a 10 Year Old Can Teach You About Law of Attraction
Law of Attraction is based on the fact that we live in a vibrational universe. Your thoughts are the vibrational seeds of creation. Every manifestation was once a thought. The feelings that accompany a thought let you know that your vibrations are a match for the outcomes that you desire.
So, if you are thinking about what you want, but feeling about its absence…what are you creating? You are creating more of the lack or absence of your desire.
How can you be happy about something you want but you don”t have?
I am not called the Joy Genie because I grant wishes, but because I know how to get happy. And getting truly in a vibration of joy is one of the fundamental ways to make sure the Universe grants your wishes. This is because the Law of Attraction responds to the vibrations of thoughts, not the words. So, if you are thinking, “I really want to take a beach vacation in Maui”, but your vibration is one of lack, you aren’t sending the right message. If your emotions are a match for the empty and deprived feelings you have when you think about how you wish you could do that, you are not a match for it.
To become a match for your beach vacation, or any desire, you have to be feeling good. If you have been doing a lot of reading and studying about Law of Attraction, this may not be a new idea. But, I”ve noticed that folks have a hard time really grasping what this looks like.
Here”s a story from my friend, Sue, that might illustrate.
Their family is walking down a city street. Sue and her husband, Jake, are discussing the details of financing the car they want to buy. They are reviewing cost factors and how to tighten the budget a bit to cover the monthly payments. They are a kind of excited about the car, but also anxious about the costs.
Behind them trail the kids. They are goofing around, enjoying the bustle of the big city, awed by the tall buildings, the bright lights and the people in fancy business attire. Five year old, Jacob, is enjoying the city lights. He is also very focused on his new shoes and the sound his feet make as they squeak on the pavement. He is happy and care free.
Ten year old, Matt, is daydreaming about how he is gonna grow up and be a pilot, own his own jet and fly all over the world to big cities like this one. Suddenly, Matt calls out: I’m rich! He is jumping around and waiving a $50 bill around. Matt found the bill on the sidewalk. Mom or Dad probably stepped right over it!
This little story is a great demonstration of how vibration works. You see, Matt is in a joyful vibration of abundance. He isn’t just thinking about being rich, he is feeling the joy of it, as if it were already a given. His little brother is happy, but with no focus beyond the moment. Life is good. Sue and Jake are offering a mixed, or conflicting vibration. The dominant vibration they are in is worry or concern. Matt finds the money because it is a match for his focus and his feelings.
It”s kind of funny, as adults we aim to help our kids to be like us, to be practical and watch our pennies, like Sue and Jake were doing. If we could take our lessons from Matt we would put our energy into enjoying the passionate and unbridled joy that comes from imagining our desires as already done. Its the kids who envision a bright future and hold fast to the image and the emotion who get the results.
How do you get the Universe to deliver if you are a grown up? Expect success. Expect it and enjoy the joy of knowing that. Look, if you expect something to happen, you aren’t also worried that it won’t happen. The vibration of worrying: “will it?”, “Can it?”, “Is it gonna happen in time?”…these are not a vibrational match that enables us to receive.
“I know I am gonna be rich, own a jet and fly around the world.” That is a vibration of joy and expectation. From that place money can just show up on the sidewalk AND in that vibration, Matt could see the money that his parents walked right by!
To “get” the Universe to deliver your Hawaiian vacation, your buns of steel or your perfect job, you need only be in the vibration of joyful expectation that it will be delivered. Most of us are walking around in the uncertain expectation of “is it coming and when?”. Let yourself be a little more like Matt and keep the channels open for the Universe to deliver on your wishes.

Right on, Laurie! For a long time I’ve had a desire to be a wealthy philanthropist, but up until now could not see how to get there. Trying to figure out how to make it happen and knowing it was too “big” was keeping it from manifesting. Now that I’m paying more attention to how I feel, I’m seeing the path unfold. After trusting that I don’t have to figure it out and feeling joyful about my life and doing things to keep me in this vibe, the path has manifested and now there’s no doubt.
Your game is a great way to maintain the joyful place that allows us to achieve anything!
