“If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.   Wherever you are — if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.”

 ~ Joseph Campbell

Follow your bliss…..such wonderful words.  Inspirational as they are, these words also reveal a very important tenet to making the Law of Attraction actually work for you.

If you are among the many who marveled with joy and anticipation upon discovering this most powerful universal law–only to find yourself discouraged and disillusioned by the seeming lack of results from all of your visualizing, dream boards, and affirmations, you could be missing this key element.  Finding your bliss or joy is not the result of the manifestations; rather it is the rocket fuel that actually creates the results. 

Most LOA enthusiasts have this backwards.  They think if they visualize something it will come.  And when it comes, they will be happy. The truth is nothing wanted can come if there is an essence of “later” in the equation.  This is a literal universe, and if the attitude of “I’ll be happy when…” is in the mix, the resulting manifestations will continue to hover in the “later” zone.  What’s more, happiness will continue to elude you, first because you’re waiting on the manifestation that will never come and second, because you have placed a condition of happiness on the outcome of that manifestation…a dead end cycle.  Unless and until you transmit the attractive dual signal that you are actually experiencing the manifestation now AND feeling joy, love or appreciation now, the manifestation cannot come.

Here’s the thing…if you observe what is in your current experience as your reality, it will continue to be your reality.   Visualize your reality as you want it to be and do whatever it takes to get to the feeling place of what that manifestation will mean to you.  Get to the feeling place before you visualize.  Live the feeling place as much as you can.  Make a decision that you will deliberately choose thoughts and actions that lean in the direction of joy.  Do things that bring you joy and don’t feel guilty about it.  Create and frequent environments that bring you joy.  Remember events that have brought you joy in the past.   It doesn’t matter how you get there.  Just get there.   When you get there, do everything you can to stay there. 

Transmit your state of bliss as your predominant state of being and watch the universe match your new “reality” with an even better one.
