Like attracting like

Many of us recall being taught that the principle behind how magnets work is that opposites attract. If you place the two north ends of magnets next to each other, they will begin to move apart. The principles of the Law of Attraction are different in that like attracts like. Your thoughts attract that upon which you focus. If you focus on being a loving, caring individual, you will attract experiences of love and caring. If you focus on that which brings harm to others, you will see evidence of such in your life. The way to attract more of what you desire is to have thoughts of it already present in your life eliciting positive feelings. An example of this is something I do for fun that demonstrates the Law of Attraction. When I go for a walk I declare, "I expect to find money wherever I go." When I did this I was walking in a department store and looked down to see a crumpled twenty dollar bill. It is not the first time this has happened. When I share this event with others they tell me that that never happens for them. It is because they do not generate thoughts that will draw this to them. Of course they are having other thoughts that are creating their reality. This is the value of creating affirmations, declarations, and mantras. It is a way of sending forth conscious messages to the Universe as to what you desire in life. Do so knowing that every thought is heard. Based on like attracting like, what are you attracting today?
