When many learn about the law of attraction they think, “oh joy, the work is all done.” The law of attraction does seem to be just the right solution for the lazy person but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. To use the law of attraction properly you will work. By your mind you create the desired end, by your actions you bring it to you. So action and work are important components of the law of attraction. Our friend Steve Pavlina recently wrote about work:
work and laziness
The harder I work, the luckier I get. – Samuel GoldwynArbeit Macht Frei is a slogan on a sign above the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland
(among other concentration camps used by the Nazis). It roughly translates as, “Work sets you free.” What the Nazis expressed with cruel irony, I say seriously. Embracing work is a path to freedom. Resisting work is a path to enslavement.Much struggle is the result of hard work resisted, but hard work is more than just putting in the time. To ensure that hard work pays off, an intelligent effort is required.Justifying Laziness
Laziness is an emotional impulse — a common desire to enjoy the pleasures of life before we’ve earned them — but it’s not a very effective or sustainable approach.Do you need to earn the pleasures of life? That depends on what you want. If you want something that’s free or freely offered — by nature or by people — you can simply claim it. If you’re walking through a field and want to eat some of the wild plants, go ahead and enjoy nature’s bounty.
If, however, you desire something that was created by human hands (especially hands that expect to be fairly compensated for their efforts) such as a nice home or a speedy piece of technology, then laziness is largely a path to scarcity. Get used to being denied many of life’s benefits if your attitude is entrenched in laziness.
If you resist the emotion of laziness when you experience it, then the emotional feeling of laziness combined with your beliefs about what it means to be lazy will signal your brain to come up with plenty of logical-sounding justifications for your laziness-induced episodes, such as:
•Everything should be free without requiring effort.
•It’s okay to mooch off of others, just this one time.
•I can manifest whatever I want, even if I’m not willing to work for it.
•Laziness is more spiritual than hard work.
The problem with these justifications is that they don’t mesh well with reality. Laziness is an emotional impulse, not a logical choice. Justifying laziness with logic is like breaking your dishes in anger and then claiming that you did it because you needed new dishes. You broke your dishes because you were pissed and lost control. You slacked off because you felt lazy and unmotivated. Don’t overcomplicate this.
Regardless of your personal “shoulds,” there are lots of items and experiences in life that aren’t free but which can easily be attained by earning and spending money. A full wallet can do a lot of manifesting with grace and ease
