“The Power of Leadership”

Given great feedback, we will continue to share some of Paul J. Meyer’s thoughts from his life summation book A Fortune to Share. 

You Attract What You Think (Part 1) – Just like a magnet!  

A magnet reveals a simple law of attraction like nothing else can.  If you place a magnet close to a piece of metal, bam!  The two slam together!  And you have to work pretty hard to keep them apart.  The magnet is attracting that piece of metal. 

This truth also applies to attitudes:  A positive attitude attracts positive results.

This power is far reaching.  It is unstoppable.  It will not be denied.  And it goes beyond the boundaries of our thought processes.

In contrast, when people have negative attitudes, they attract negative outcomes.  They get what they expect: negative consequences, no return on investment, disappointment, and more of the same old.  When people allow fear, worry, doubt, indecision, and other negative thinking to determine their mental attitude, they effectively shut off their positive attitudes. 

They can only attract negatives… because the only magnet they are using is a negative one!  When they focus on cannots, the outcome is predictably negative.

Believe in the law of attraction

For the law of attraction to work most powerfully in our lives, we must believe in it.  It isn’t that your mental “power” enables this magnet to work, but you must believe the magnet will attract or you won’t even try it.  You must believe before you will try.

Even though you believe, you must still put the magnet close to the metal you want to attract before anything will happen.

When you set goals, you must believe that you can reach those goals and then take action on that belief.  And I never give recognition to the possibility of defeat in any area of my life!  My belief, my faith, my attitude, my attention, and my actions are like a giant magnet, attracting the results I wish to attract.

Your belief must show in your eyes, be reflected in our voices, show in our walk, and be felt from the energy we generate.  Nobody will ever say about me, “He lacks confidence” or “He has no faith in what he is doing.”  Not a chance! 

I am a magnet and the law of attraction is alive and well in me!

“By rejecting all negative thoughts and filling your mind with powerful positive thoughts, you are setting the law of attraction in motion to your benefit!” – Paul J. Meyer
