I will keep this introduction four sentences short!This article is for people who want extraordinary success only, so if that is you then readon.Whether you believe in the 'Law of Attraction' or not you need to read this.If you found the title catchy because you are a procrastinator, you need to read this.For those who never heard about it; the 'Law of Attraction' is a belief that is gaining a lotof popularity these days. It is claimed that, ifone thinks about something and imagineshim or herself already in possession of that thing or situation, there is a force that will bring it about. It will become real, especially if intense feeling and detail is associatedwith the imagination.Ok! Now what am I up to this time? Why is the author of an anti-procrastination book writing on a metaphysical topic?I don't want to scare away those who, like me, like to keep their feet on the ground but Ihave recently discovered the definite way to finally make this "Law" work.I have known about this claim for over nineteen years now, and for the most part I have believed it. It was also a major cause of procrastination because I naively believed that Icould just sit down, visualize, add detail, add feeling, ''raise my vibration'' and anything Iwanted would be delivered on my lap by some hot chick on a silver plate.
 
Being in love with psychology, I know that there are great benefits for people whochallenge their established beliefs so I decided to challenge the notion of attraction and seewhat would happen. To the envy of those New-Agers out there still struggling to see anyresults; the moment I stopped believing about the Law of Attraction, it started to work for me! When you finish reading this article you will have all the knowledge you need tomake it work for you as well.
My stance on the "Law of Attraction"
At this point some readers will be understandably confused. Does this guy believe in theLaw of Attraction or doesn't he? I take a stance similar to what Bill Harris (one of thestars of 
The Secret 
) takes.I believe that our thoughts produce our feelings and behaviors. I believe that when wefocus on some outcome in the right manner our minds will start noticing things and comeup with new ideas that will help to bring that outcome. I believe that we will also beattracting people who are likely to support our projects with the non-verbal language weadopt. Our body language, tone of voice, perfume, wordswe use and even places we startenjoying, will be the exact ones favoring our chances of meeting people who are likely to be inspired by our ideas and are willing to help us. I therefore also believe that a largedeal of our external circumstances is created by our thoughts even if we are not aware of most of this happening.The thoughts and beliefs you have attracts you to the people, knowledge, ideas, resources,circumstances and the right approach needed to get these on your side.However, I do not believe that some force in The Universe is doing it for us,I consider themetaphysical claims to be 90% baloney. Yes I have read Dr. William Thiller's 'ConsciousActs of Creation' too and that's what is keeping that 90% from becoming nearer to 100%.I also refuse to believe that we attract everything we experience, this is ridiculous.Sometimes good things happen and sometimes "dirt" just hits the fan! We are notresponsible for all that happens to us, but keep in mind that one may always make afortune from apparent adversity if one keeps an open mind and a positive attitude.In a nutshell, I believe there is nothing spiritual, metaphysical or quantum-physical aboutthe "Law of Attraction". It is purely the immense capability that the human mind has toinfluence and be influenced in a manner that brings about the results of thoughts and beliefs one holds.
So what did I discover about the "Law of Attraction" that makes it work?
 
Those familiar with my work will know that I have investigated 22 people in order to learnwhat makes them free from procrastination. I wanted to discover the cure to procrastination.Interestingly virtually all of these people believed that a Higher Power was helping themout. It was a common characteristic between them. They may identify the power differently, some called it God, some called it nature's inherent intelligence and the atheistsamong them claimed it was their subconscious mind. However, all dwelt on the belief in ahigher power conspiring to help them.How was it then;that most procrastinators were using this same reliance on a higher power to avoid taking action to fulfill the very dreams they wanted to fulfill? The difference wasnot in the belief but in the attitude.Procrastinators were expecting the higher power to deliver without their effort. The Pro-Completers on the other hand were leaving it to do its work while they did their work as best they could.If you want the Law of Attraction to work effortlessly for you, you must first decide toabandon procrastination and the first step is to realize that you have to stop using it as anexcuse to take no action!
How can you better utilize the 'Law of attraction' without using it as an excuse totake no action!?
This is achieved by using some common sense. Keep in mind the following three rules:
Rule 1:
Thoughts need to be strong enough to put YOU into action
If you want to believe that thoughts bring about corresponding realities, you will need toadmit that the strongest thoughts will be the ones to manifest as reality quicker and moreevidently. Now ask yourself which of these is the strongest thought?1. a dismissed idea2. a fantasy you dwell on3. a highly emotional thought4. a highly emotional and detailed thought with an action plan written down5. a highly emotional and detailed thought with an action plan written down which youoften read6. a thought that is resulting in you taking action7. athought that is resulting in you taking action with a conviction so tenacious thatnothing is going to stop you from achieving what you want.You guessed it! These are in order of strength.If you are a procrastinator your thoughts are not strong enough to even put YOU intoaction and you won't inspire other people, let alone the Universe. It may also be that youhave other thoughts that conflict with your desired goal and these are pulling you awayfrom your goal and into procrastination.
