When Others Are Negative…
“I registered on your site recently and have admired your weekly emails and articles. In December I discovered the “Law of Attraction” and since the moment I read about it, it just clicked with me. It brought a sense of peace and happiness to my life that I haven’t ever felt, and I began to practice this way of life immediately! I love it, and I have already seen positive results rewards and I know that I will only see more!
“I also gave the reading material and information to my husband and he quickly picked up on it and was very excited! I was so pleased! Just some of the simple changes that he made like being more positive, not bringing up negative things in his life or about others, and wishing and visualizing what he wants in his life was awesome! He was so happy. He would randomly call me and tell me about the new positive things that happened in his work and all the things in life he was grateful for! On this awesome track of a “new way” of living the two of us even decided to take a huge step and put our house up for sale! This is a house that we built only less than two years ago! We’ve always dreamed of owning an estate size home and that we were going to go for it! We were thrilled and so excited! We quickly got the house on the market and have staged it perfectly, it is gorgeous. Shortly after we put our house on the market we found the house of our dreams! It was like the house was built exactly for us! We couldn’t believe it! Now we are waiting for our house to sell and unfortunately have had little to no activity at all.
“To make a long story short over the last several weeks my husband has started to go back to his old ways. He complains about no one coming into our house, he comes home all stressed out from work, tired, yelling and complaining to me about everything. I even try to avoid his negative nature and bring up something positive and try and change the subject and it doesn’t work. Last night I reminded him that his “doubtful thoughts become things and that he is bringing more of them into his life by thinking that way” and he yelled at me and told me that he doesn’t know if he can take all this positive crap all the time and that I’m not living in” reality” and he can’t take it! I couldn’t believe it and I so hurt. It’s hard for me to believe that he was angry with me for being positive and happy! I understand that I can’t force this way of life on him, but what do I do now?? ?”

Dear Lois,
As you know with the Law of Attraction, what we focus on we create. Our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world. People reflect back to us the things that are inside of ourselves. Right now, you are looking at the situation and asking why is your husband being stubborn? Why is he doing this? By focusing on your husband’s behavior, you are creating more of it.
Stop looking outside of yourself. Everything in your life is attracted to you by you. Look at yourself and ask, “Okay, why don’t I want my husband to believe in the Law of Attraction?”
It sounds like his behavior has changed since you put your house on the market. Have you had trouble believing your house will sell? Have you had been trying to convince yourself that it will happen rather than just allowing it to be? Is your husband reflecting this back to you?
You can use this same approach with your house. Ask yourself, “Why don’t I want this house to sell?” You might even want to approach your husband with this question.

Law of attraction takes a lot of work sometimes. Not to mention, a lot of faith.

Chris - Glad you like the site!
Michael - The whole premise behind the Law of Attraction is that you get what you think about/believe in. The Law of Attraction only takes a lot of work and faith if you believe it does. If you change your beliefs, it can be easy and effortless. When you also incorporate the other universal laws that make up manifesting, attracting your desires becomes even easier and faster. The entire process is actually quite fun.
