Greetings, readers!

While every action may look the same at its surface, the intention behind it has reverberating effects that can ultimately influence whether or not we achieve its goals. It’s about how you go about doing things. It’s about your mindset. It’s about intention.

Chasing after success can be an exhausting and draining mindset that can leave you feeling like you’re never making progress. But what if a subtle change in intention can turn the same action into something more powerful? What if instead of chasing success, you attract what you want into your life?

This is what this article is about – discovering the power of attraction and how it can completely transform your journey towards achieving your goals. Stop chasing your goals and start attracting them, today.

Key Takeaways

• • Focusing on attraction can make a significant difference in your journey towards achieving your goals.
  • Constantly chasing after success can drain your energy and leave you feeling exhausted.
  • Embracing the power of attraction involves aligning your actions, thoughts, and beliefs with what you desire.
  • Raising your own vibrational frequency can help you become a vibrational match for the success you seek.
  • Manifestation and gratitude are transformative practices that can positively impact your ability to attract what you desire.

Chasing vs. Attracting

Chasing (or hustling) is not knowing that what you need or want is going to come in, resulting in anxiety-embedding actions throughout the process. It’s an approach devoid of trust. You want to get there as fast as possible to make sure the thing you want (insert whatever you want here) will still be there. Even at the very end, when you actually have “the thing,” the anxiety lingers from the fear of losing it.

On the other hand, attracting (or aligned action) is where you know you are going to eventually get what you want, which creates a mindset to appreciate the journey and simply act accordingly.

Attracting = massive trust plus acting accordingly and in alignment with what you envision minus the attachment.

Same, same, but different. The difference lies in the energy behind it.

In a nutshell: Chasing or attracting something looks the same on the outside, but the difference lies in the energy behind it.

The Negative Impact of Chasing Your Goals

Chasing your goals can lead to burnout, stress, and a constant focus on the future at the expense of the present moment. This type of energy can also lead to a lack of gratitude for what you already have, leading to a never-ending cycle of wanting more.

When you chase, you are attaching your happiness and fulfillment to the achievement of those goals. This can create a feeling of emptiness or dissatisfaction even when you attain your desired outcome. However, when you focus on attracting what you desire, you detach your happiness from the outcome and find joy in the present moment, regardless of what you have or do not have yet.

The Power of Attraction

Attracting success aligns your actions, thoughts, and beliefs with what you desire, creating a magnetizing effect that draws opportunities, people, and resources toward you.

“Like attracts like. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

It starts with believing you can attract what you desire into your life. You have to let go of the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and embrace the possibility of abundance and success. Focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want. When you focus on lack and scarcity, you attract more of the same into your life. However, when you focus on abundance and gratitude, you attract more of that into your life.

Another way to embrace the power of attraction is to visualize your success as if it has already happened. Use your imagination to create a vivid picture of what you desire and immerse yourself in that reality. This sends out a powerful vibrational frequency that attracts your desires into your life.

Once you embrace the power of attraction, it’s important to take inspired action towards your goals. You must be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and take the necessary steps that align with your desires. When you do this, you open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences that can help you achieve your goals.

Attracting success is more than just material possessions. It’s about living a life of joy, fulfillment, and purpose. When you embrace the power of attraction and align your actions with your desires, you can live your best life and create a future beyond your wildest dreams.

What helps with attracting is knowing your why. This article on the Golden Circle will shine a light on the importance of knowing your why so you can better attract your goals.

Attract with Higher Vibrations

Everything in the universe is energy, including your thoughts and emotions. To attract what you want, you need to raise your vibrational frequency to match the vibrations of those desires. This is the foundation of the law of attraction: like attracts like.

Start by focusing on yourself. Take care of your physical body with exercise, a good diet, and proper sleep. Take care of your mental health through meditation, self-reflection, and positive affirmations.

Surround yourself with positive people and environments that lift your spirits. Avoid negative influences that drain your energy and bring you down. Your energy is precious, so protect it.

Practice gratitude daily. Gratitude helps you shift your focus from what you lack to what you have, creating a positive vibrational frequency that attracts more abundance.

By raising your vibrational frequency, you become a magnet for success. You begin to attract opportunities, people, and resources that align with your desires. Trust in the process and take inspired action when opportunities arise.

Practice Gratitude with Affirmations

Affirmations are positive statements that help you align your thoughts with your desires. By repeating affirmations daily, you reinforce positive beliefs and raise your vibrational frequency. Create your affirmations that align with your goals and desires. Your thoughts and emotions create your reality, so choose them wisely. By cultivating a high vibrational frequency through self-care, gratitude, and positive affirmations, you become a powerful magnet for success.

Manifesting your Success

Manifestation involves aligning your thoughts, intentions, and emotions with what you want to attract into your life. By focusing on what you want, rather than what you don’t want, you can create a vibrational match between your desires and your reality.

Manifestation is not magic, but it does require you to take action and trust the process. When you believe that you can achieve your goals, you start to take inspired action toward making them a reality.

Go with the Flow

Now that you have a deeper understanding of attraction, it’s time to put it into action. Inspiration is the driving force behind attracting what you desire. When you take inspired action, you are in a state of flow that allows you to effortlessly move toward your goal.

It’s important to align your actions with your intentions. When your thoughts, beliefs, and actions work together, you create a powerful energy that propels you towards your desires.

When you’re feeling stuck or unsure of what action to take, take a step back, trust the process, and allow yourself to flow with life. The universe has a way of guiding you towards what you need.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky

Even if your actions don’t lead to your desired outcome immediately, they will guide you toward your goals.

You are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. By taking inspired action and flowing with life, you create an energy that draws the right opportunities and people towards you.

Personal Reflection

This article inspired me to reflect on my own past and how this concept applies to so many experiences. To all the romantic crushes I have had over the years and the anxiety that it brought within me. I simply did not have the wherewithal to just ‘act cool’ about it. Or working in the film industry where you jump from show to show not sure where you are going to work next. Even the little day-to-day moments of wanting things and situations to go a certain way. Stressing about these things did not actually manifest them into reality. It probably just added more grey hairs on my head.

Instagram’s Samantha Chung aka Simplifying Sam poignantly states: There is nothing wrong with chasing, but it prompts you to think of how you want to live your life along the way. “What good does it do to keep believing in such a negative, glass-half-empty future? And if you do believe you will eventually get what you want, then how enjoyable would your journey be by de-emphasizing the stress and worry?”

This is just food for thought with a big serving of deep reflection thinking. To each their own. It really expands the phrase, “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.”
