You know I have not grown up knowing this, but there is a recipe to success.
Just like if you would put all the right ingredients into a cake recipe you’ll get that cake, if you learn how to integrate ingredients of success, you’ll get a more successful life.
When I’m talking about ingredients, though, I don’t mean physical actions so much. Even though they are important at some point, that’s not the subject of this article.
The real recipe for success is when you work from the inside out. Because if you’re not ready for success mentally and subconsciously, true success will be long in coming, to say the least.
So, why do I want to write about success today?
Two things.
- I’m reaching a momentum of success right now in my life due to my application of the law of attraction.
- We all want to be more successful, so I thought that you could apply some of the tips I’ll be sharing here for yourself.
But first, let’s clarify a few things, especially if you are new to this success mindset thing.
Does Success have Anything to do with Luck?
The short answer is no.
When someone is successful, people on the outside look and say, wow they’re so lucky!
But more times than not, they couldn’t be more wrong.
It’s just that some people know how to attract success and others don’t. The more I know about the law of attraction the least I believe in luck. And if you don’t believe me, ask any success coach their opinion on that.
And remember, the more you’ll learn about the law of attraction the least you will need luck.
Get better Acquainted with the Law of Attraction
Maybe you are already familiar with the law of attraction, but to what extent are you familiar with it?
- Are you someone who says that you believe that the law of attraction is at work while still maintaining an overall negative outlook in life?
- Are you still complaining most of the time?
- Are you still looking at the glass half full?
- Are you still focusing on what you don’t have?
- Are you still yearning too much for that partner in life?
- Are you still using words like, I can’t afford it, I’m too old, I could never do this or that?
If it’s what you’re doing, don’t fool yourself, it won’t work that way. Believe me, I’ve tried that too for a while.
Make sure you get the basics about that law of attraction thing well, because I believe that’s the key to turn your life around.
And remember that the law of attraction doesn’t care what religion you belong to and what you believe in. The law of attraction has nothing to do with that, because it’s one of the laws of the universe.
So, do yourself a favor and don’t try to hide behind anything. The law of attraction doesn’t care and doesn’t stop running for you.
Focus on the Right Things
Don’t forget that the keyword when it comes to the law of attraction is focus, so make sure that you pay attention to what you are focusing on at all time.
- Every time you focus on what you don’t want, you attract more of what you don’t want.
- Every time you focus on what you don’t have, you attract more of what you don’t have.
- Every time you focus on what is, you attract more of what is.
If there is one thing I would want you to take home from this article is this. Because unless you really get this, chances are your life will stay pretty much the same.
I don’t want to scare you now, but I do want you to be aware, and moving toward success.
Feeling is Focusing
Here is something you need to absolutely understand if you want to attract more success into your life.
Let’s say you want to attract a certain amount of money, and you’re doing a good job at affirming that you are attracting that money and maybe even visualizing what you are going to do with that money.
But if the rest of the time you have strong feelings of lack of money. If you are getting anxious about how you are going to pay the bills at the end of the month, or anything like that, you will simply kill all your affirmation and visualization efforts.
Feelings send vibrations and negative feeling send low vibrations that are attraction negative results.
You need to check your feelings, because feelings let you know what your thoughts are and what type of events you are creating as per the law of attraction.
Negative feelings that sprout from negative thoughts sends low vibrations that can’t attract success.
Think of your body and mind as a huge magnet that attracts what’s in it.
Bad things in, bad things out.
This is a simple enough process that still so many people have not grasped. But how much do you want to succeed?
Someone that I’ve been coaching for a while, told me not to long ago, “wow, everyone should learn about this law of attraction stuff because it’s so powerful.”
Yes, he sure realized that for himself now.
But unless you do learn about it and start applying what you’re learning, you will most likely keep attracting pretty much the same by default.
Why you’re not Attracting what you Want?
1- You may have strong subconscious beliefs that work against your conscious desire.
Let me give you very simple illustration of how the subconscious mind works as opposed to your conscious mind.
This past weekend, I sold about half my furniture, because I’m getting ready to live in Europe for a few months. Since I’m renting my apartment, I’m simply not renewing the lease and will just keep only few things in a storage until I get back.
So there is that china cabinet that I just sold on Saturday, and sure enough, every morning I still walk toward that cabinet (that I know is no longer there) to get something that used to be in it.
You see, consciously I’m well aware that the cabinet is no longer here, but my subconscious is still going there to get something I need that I used to keep in there.
That’s how the subconscious works for everything.
Good, bad and indifferent. That’s why if you have a negative belief that you now consciously know is not serving you, subconsciously you are still “going there” like I’m still going toward my cabinet.
Now would I eventually make my subconscious mind get it that my china cabinet is gone?
Of course I will. And for that I’ll be using my conscious reasoning. Any eventually my subconscious will stop believing that the piece of furniture is still here.
2- You may have a strong tendency to be negative
Interestingly, negativity and positivity both are learned behaviors.
Even though they are not necessarily subconsciously learned, they certainly are habits. A way of life so to speak.
Never before I started to study about the wonders of personal development did I realized how negative I was.
It’s only later that I realized that it was a learned thing for me. A pure habit. I didn’t know much about being positive.
I literally had to unlearn this bad habit of mine, and change my attitude.
What can you do to Put the Law of Attraction on your Side and Reap Success?
If you have either subconscious beliefs, or negative though patterns, you need to find them out and remove them.
If you need a coach to help you with that, you are more than welcome to contact me.
Once you get the hang of it, it will start rolling for you, but until you get there it’s going to be a process.
But it’s also a joyous process. You’ll see. It’s like growing up!
I’m not going to tell you, do this or that and your life will change overnight. It’s not going to happen that way. But I will tell you that if you make a constant and willing effort, you will start seeing some changes.
You could start with my e-Course, and aim for your own momentum of success.
This is great wisdom. I only intend on attracting the positive. If I am not ready for something right now, I will remain upbeat and believing all will come in good time.
Glad you are doing this well.
That cabinet reminds me of phantom limb pain. It takes a while before it is possible to beelieve fully that the limb is missing, but that is what makes the mind, conscious and unconscious, so powerful for change.
It’s amazing really.
Kerry invites you to read..I can See! I can see!
Hi Kerry,
I love your great example, the missing limb pain, yes. First time I ever of this fact was when I was still a child, from my mother. That is a perfect example of the subconscious sticking long after the fact here again.
Thanks for this, Kerry and thanks for coming. Really appreciate you!
Hi Sylviane,
You are walking proof that the Law of Attraction works. I’ve been following your Facebook posts and seen how everything is in place for you…It is great to know that.
I do believe in the LOA. I’ve practiced it and when I don’t there are friendly reminders that tap me on the shoulder from the Universe to get back to it. As we grow, our needs change and we have to remember to keep it up.
Once we understand the full concept, especially that darn subconscious of ours lol….we can attract what we need. Awareness is the start. And if anyone can help people to reach this, it is you my friend.

Hi Donna,
Lately, I certainly have attracted a chain reaction of good things. I am in a momentum for sure, and it’s only going to grow I know.
Yes, girl, the LOA is always at work, so we better know what we’re doing out there, or else.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Donna.
Hey Sylviane,
I liked that you pointed out that consciously you may know that something isn’t serving you but subconsciously you are still making it a habit. The cabinet analogy was a great example and it made me understand much better.
I can honesty say that I tend to fall under this category. I know something isn’t serving me but I still have those thoughts or still do the actions. What’s been working for me was doing afformations and clearing my mind to live in the moment.
But yes LOA definitely starts from the inside out. I’ve been seeing all of us grow as bloggers. Your growth has really been noticeable starting with your blog theme and how you have it organized now.
Thanks for the share Sylviane! Have a good one!
Sherman Smith invites you to read..7 Ways You Can Benefit From Your Competition
Hi Sherman,
Yes, like I said this positive mentality thing is a process, because most of us grew up in a mostly negative environment. I know it kind of sounds bad when I say it like that, but that’s the simple truth. I mean all the people I coach, and speak to and me included, it’s just so obvious. So, the best we can do is some cleaning and repairing :), and you’ve done that with your afformations. Great job and keep going. Your growth is obvious too.
Thank you for your kind words and for coming.
PS: I sent you an email to ask you something 🙂
It’s very interesting and inspiring topic on How to reach a momentum of success. I’m sure many will be glad to read this article. Thanks for sharing it. Fantastic post!

Hi Sylviane….
I am glad I came to know about your blog through your guest post on Carol’s blog. I simply loved the way you have connected the life of bloggers with actors
Coming back to this post, I also believe in the law of attraction. When we are focused on our work, luck factor takes a back seat.
Ya, you are right. When we are not able to concentrate on our work, our subconscious deviates us from our conscious dreams.
Thanks for providing a wonderful post for reaching a momentum of success.

Hi Yatin,
Yes, I sure remember you from Carol’s blog. Nice to see you here.
The law of attraction and subconscious mind are not very well known subjects for still a lot of people out there, but the easy access of information because of the 21th century internet has helped a lot. This knowledge as personally changed my life.
Thank you for your input and for coming here. Appreciate that and will be coming checking you out.
Hi Sylviane,
Lovely post indeed 🙂
You are so right, we are what we attract, which includes the good and bad with it. Yes, we are all tuned to go the negative way more, at least in most of the cases, but have to train our minds to see the positives instead, which is done only consciously.
I wish you kept the cabinet….reminds me how tough it is for me to give away things I am attached to, but I understand it’s required for now. Nice analogy to explain, which makes is so much easy to understand.
It does all start from the inside out, and it’s a process, which takes time. Thus, we are all a work in progress, aren’t we?
Thanks for sharing this with us, and wishing you have a lovely time in Europe too. Have a nice week ahead 🙂

Hi Harleena,
Yes, we are all a work in process and we keep improving as time goes on.
As much as I would like to, I can only keep 4 pieces of furniture, so I’m keeping those that are the most dear to me, but that’s it. My stuff will be kept in a small storage room so space is limited 🙂
I’m glad you like the analogy, I think it’s a very easy one to understand.
Thanks for your valuable input.
Hi Sylviane,
I’m not at all well-versed in the Law of Attraction. Yes, I’ve heard of it, but never really read or followed it. However, my lack of knowledge aside, you make some very good points here. Our mind is a very powerful piece of equipment and we do need to learn how to control it and use it to our advantage. For sure, negativity breeds negativity. I loved the example of your missing cabinet. Habits take time to change, but they can be changed if we make a conscious decision to do so.
Thanks for helping us focus!

Hi David,
Nice to see you here.
I know this type of post may be strange for those who have not been acquainted with this material yet, but I think that it’s spreading slowing, but surely.
Understanding how our subconscious mind and the law of attraction work changed my life, so I want to help others with that too. But of course, only the ones that want to be helped 🙂
Thank you so much for coming, and have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Sylviane,
I came across your blog from Adrienne’s. 🙂 Nice stuff!
The first time I heard about the law of attraction was when I read the book The Secret. It really opened my eyes and, like you, it made me realize how negative I really was about everything.
I like your china cabinet example of the subconscious mind too — great way to explain it.
I personally have always struggled with perfectionism and fear of failure, so there certainly are all sorts of crazy beliefs stuck in my subconscious mind surrounding those issues, not to mention the bad habits I’ve developed over the years from it, which I’m working on breaking. 😉
Have fun packing for Europe and thanks for sharing Sylviane!

Elise invites you to read..Why you struggle to stay motivated
Hi Elise and very nice to meet you here. I’m glad you found me through Adrienne.
Actually fear of failure and perfectionism are very much related. What I would suggest to you is try to trace it back. Where did you “learn” this? It could be your parents, a teacher… whomever…
Once you found the source you could use EFT to deprogram such false belief. I deprogrammed many of my false beliefs with EFT. Do you know what it is?
Anyways, Thanks for dropping by and for your comment. Let me know if you have any question.
//Does Success have Anything to do with Luck?
The short answer is no.//
So how you rate people who win a lottery and become a millionaire in a minute? lol.. 🙂
Even me too never believe on luck as you said.. But, sometimes it works for some people..
Anyway, it’s really cool article and thanks for shared Sylviane.

Hi Thyrone,
Actually I wouldn’t necessarily consider people who win the lottery lucky at all, considering that most people who win the lottery with a poor mindset manage to lose it all within 2 years (according to statistics).
Actually the more you understand the law of attraction the more you see that what people call luck or lack thereof is linked to what they attract or don’t attract.
I’m glad you liked this post and thank you for your input.
Have a great weekend!
Great post, Sylviane.
I just have to say that the topic about the law of attraction is striking a nerve with me.
I have been going through amazing changes in my life when I discovered the path of personal development and how IMPORTANT your mindset is.
I managed to build a network of 1500+ distributors in under 2 year, while having a full-time six-figure corporate job.
This helped me to set a side money, so I could manage to take the step from deciding to leave my corporate job and to start my own business – where I help online entrepreneurs free up more time and become more productive.
However, it didn`t start out like that.
In the start, I felt overwhelmed and that I might have taken way too much on my plate.
I had to push myself out of my comfort zone and do a lot of things that I didn`t really feel like doing.
However, through personal development, goal setting and time management, I managed to hit the goals I set.
In the start I was uncomfortable talking in front of a larger group of people. 2 years later I was talking in front of 3000 people in Nice.
It is funny how things turns out, when you really decide to make a change.
Regarding getting a momentum of success.
Success is like a water pump that is connected to a well deep underground. You have to work that pump for a very long time, in order to get the water out.
When the water starts to flow, you can use lesser force in order to maintain the water coming out – the power of leverage.
However, if you decide to stop pumping and the water stops flowing, you will have to start from scratch – using a lot of effort and time before the water starts flowing again.
So in order to maintain momentum regarding your success, you have to work that water pump until the water starts flowing.
Then what?
Then you continue to work that pump all the time, so the water will constantly be flowing.
That is how you create and maintain the momentum of success.
Great article, Sylviane.
Have a great day!

Tor Refsland invites you to read..How To Attract The Right Clients By Doing Business Nude
Hi Tor,
I’m thrilled to hear about your success, and I’m glad that you realized how much mindset is important in success.
It’s true that more effort is required at the beginning, but don’t forget that if you “believe” that that much effort is required, as per the law of attraction “that much effort will be required” in order for you to succeed and maintain your success. So, my advise to you would be to read stories about those who acquire success with little effort as long as they have made the “mental effort” to believe that success doesn’t have to come with hard labor.
In other words, when you think of that pump, which is a great analogy, see the water flow more freely and see you LESS pumping. Otherwise you’ll need to be pumping more. Try it 🙂
I hope this makes sense to you, but if not now, if you think of what I’m saying here and try it, I’m sure it will.
Thank you so much for sharing your success story. Love that!
Hi Sylviane,
thanks for your reply.
What you are saying about visualizing that less work is needed before the water start flowing, makes total sense.
I guess, I`m used to working so hard for success, that I sometimes forget that I should change my mindset even more 😉
However, I think there is also a fine balance between visualizing that in order to reach a certain goal takes short time vs. being ready to put in the hard work if necessary.
If you don`t control your mind and you are really mentally equipped to the challenges towards your goal, you might be disappointed, lose faith and confidence, and at the end do the biggest success slaying action there is…
…to quit.
As you are probably aware of, when it comes a successful mindset, it`s all about visualizing and believing that you will achieve what you are working towards.
After a while, you get used to visualizing and expecting that your dreams will become goals, and your goals will become accomplishments.
Only when you are being aware of who you are and what value you are able to deliver to other people, will applying the law of attraction feel like second nature.
In my latest blog post “How To Attract The Right Clients By Doing Business Nude”, I am talking about how to attract the right clients by truly knowing and being yourself.
Check it out, I think you`ll like it 🙂
Thanks for your tip, I will start to apply it immediately 🙂

Hi Catrina,
Oh, yes, I’ve noticed how much you’ve came here since recently and I really, really appreciate you encouraging feedback.
Thank you so much, and see you around soon.
Hi Sylviane
Very powerful post especially for those who have been struggling since long but yet to gain the momentum of success.
Putting oneself into an unending struggle is not a wise step. The best strategy is to develop a plan and put it into practice meanwhile regularly monitoring how you are executing it.
If things don’t change slightly despite a lot of hard work it means you are doing hard but not in the right direction.
The points you mentioned in this post are pretty awesome and one needs to follow them in letter and spirit to become successful eventually.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Mi Muba invites you to read..How to create a high-priced product to earn money massively?
Hi Mi,
Yes, hard efforts don’t always make success. I know so many people, who have spent a lifetime of HARD work and got nothing in the end. Success is more about having the right mindset first, and take the right actions as you said, not the “hard” actions. I am so convinced of that, because I’ve seen it so many times.
Thank you for coming. Appreciate your input.
Sylviene, honestly this is the first education about Law of Attraction.
Actually, I found that some people wrote about this, but I didn’t read or try to learn about those article because I’m not interest about those topic.
I never expected that those law are related to our success, and make the life better.
Sure, I agree you..! First thing that we have in order to reach success is to change.
We have to move from negative to positive mindset.
I love this post, thanks for sharing..

Hi Kimsea,
So, you don’t believe in the law of attraction? Yet it’s always at work whether we know it or not, or believe it or not, so it’s always better to be aware of it for sure.
When I first learned about the law of attraction few years ago and looked at my past, I started to understand EVERYTHING that has or hasn’t happen to me. So, yes, my dear, I can assure you it’s always there. Start looking and paying attention and you’ll start seeing it too.
Glad you liked the post 🙂 Thanks for coming.
