Law of Attraction: How Does Your Law of Attraction Garden Grow
A lot of people think since they are visualizing, keeping the faith, showing gratitude (to name a few) that surely by now, after two weeks, they should already be living in the Bahamas and drinking the pretty little drinks with the paper umbrellas. The Law of Attraction takes a little mental work for everything to gel just as you want it.
If we were immediately given everything that came to mind, we would be in a heap of chaos. Think about some of the fleeting thoughts you may have had; there are obvious reasons why every thought doesn’t manifest immediately. (Remember the elephant in the movie, The Secret?) But how exactly does the Universe work to attract to you what you have been visualizing?
The Law of Attraction works like a garden. You obtain your seeds (desires) and plant them in the ground. Once those seeds have been planted, they are not going to grow without water and food are they? Water (visualize) your seeds everyday. But what if you forget to water those seeds for a couple of days? Simply, they are just going to sit there and do nothing, and if you gave them just a little sunlight and a little water (not enough attention) they would be weakened and not strong.
Or what if you have a day where it is raining so hard (tough day) and your seeds almost float off in the heavy rainwater? It can be hard protecting (from the cynics) your seeds and keeping the faith. You know that those seeds are going to push through the ground and become full blown flowers (manifested desires). You care for them and nurture them and let the Universe take care of them and know that beneath the ground are budding flowers just ready to come up. You’re excited and can’t wait to see those wondrous flowers bloom but you also know that they will pop out of the ground when they are healthy and ready.
You get small signs that something is going on. There is a teeny weenie plant leaf (sign from the Universe) peeping through the ground and your faith builds. You know that the little flower will be out soon but you still leave it to the Universe because you know that it will take care of your seeds.
Then one day, after the seeds have matured and grown, you see a sprout come out of the ground. Once that sprout is up, you still have to water (visualize) the budding plant (manifesting desire) to keep it alive. Then one day in spring, you go outdoors to water your little plant and it has become a beautiful flower (manifested desires) and it is more beautiful than you could have ever imagined. If the time had not been taken to care and nurture this flower it could not have lived without you or the Universe but if you continue to water it, your flower will stay beautiful and healthy.
It’s important to give the Universe time to create your desire and just know, like the little seeds, that your desire will come up out of the ground and turn in to a bloom that was even better than you had imagined. Like the beauty given from a colorful spring garden, it’s worth the wait.
