Attract

Is life attracted to you? How does life express this attraction? Through people or animals; strangers or friends? I remember years ago watching a dog trainer, Barbara Woodhouse, on TV. It seemed as though any animal that crossed her path immediately adored her!

I actually experienced something remarkable recently. I typically have flowers in several vases around my home. Their beauty adds to my life and I actually coo over them quite a bit. When I am in the same room I tell them how beautiful they are -- not that my pleasure is not obvious anyway!

So anyway, the other day I went over to my sink to wash dishes. Right in front of the sink were cheerful yellow flowers and I swear I felt from them such a wave of affection that it stopped me in my tracks. Now, I am used to expressing appreciation for them, but it had not occurred to me that something happened energetically that they would have what ever a flower's version is of love and appreciation. Anyway, I was genuinely moved and awed by that experience.

To receive is to be open, aware and responsive to how life speaks to you. The Law of Attraction, a Law that has been getting a lot of attention these days, is about attracting. Yet, if you are not attentive to how life speaks and relates to you, you may not be able to draw what you want toward you because you have missed the signals and information that would be helpful to you.

You can’t force someone to be attracted to you. But you can learn how to become attractive, to open up to and receive life and the people in it.

Today I am going to be attentive to how life speaks to me. Who or what is attracted? And why? What do I put out and how does life respond? This will be an interesting project for the day.

Do you have any thoughts on this? How does life respond to you? Take notice today and tell me about it.
