What Do I Do When I Believe in the Law of Attraction and My Significant Other Does Not?

This is the SECOND most common question I receive, right after, “Do I have to stay positive all the time for the Law of Attraction to work?” People become very excited when first hearing about the Law of Attraction IF it clicks and resonates. They see how it has applied in their lives in their past and want to take action to bring more goodness rather than negativity into their future. But what to do when your “other half,” a parent or someone else significant in your life disagrees? This raises several other questions which I will answer here. Will their “negative energy” stop YOU from achieving what you are aiming to attract? How do you CONVINCE the other person? What about if that person is very negative—won’t that affect me? How do I pursue learning more when the other person is so against it? What do I do if I manifest something and they STILL don’t believe?

Will someone else’s negative energy stop you from attracting what you want into your life?

Only if you let it. Do you believe that the other person can stop you from attracting what you want? If you do you are calling it into existence. Only YOU control what you are attracting towards you. Are you thinking positive thoughts and listening to your self talk? Are you visualizing it? Are you feeling good about receiving it? Do you know in your heart you will receive it? Or are you telling yourself, “Well—I really want this but I know because “______” doesn’t believe I won’t be able to get it.” KNOW only you control what you are asking for and whether or not you will receive it.

How Do I Convince the Other Person that the Law of Attraction is real?

There are several aspects to this but the bottom line is it is not your job to convince them. People either believe something or they don’t. If you try to force someone to believe something that doesn’t resonate with them you are wasting your own energy and theirs. That being said you can examine things before giving up that they will ever believe. There are many different ways the Law of Attraction is presented. You have Jerry and Esther Hicks and Abraham who for MANY people embody The Law of Attraction. Others will immediately discount their teachings because “anyone channeling must be faking therefore anything they say is fake.” Some people love The Secret’s explanation of the Law of Attraction and others call it “wishful thinking.” Some swear by The Master Key System by Charles Haanel and others would simply not have the patience or understanding to read twenty-four parts about the world within and the world without. For me it was reading Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, The Master Key System, and listening to the audio book The Secret that resonated from the beginning.

The Law of Attraction can be presented in many ways. If you do want to try and give a good explanation of it to the “doubting person” in your life the best way is to:

1) Put it into practice for yourself and get a good feeling of it.
2) Read MANY different authors, blogs, articles, and understand what each author’s approach to teaching the law of Attraction is all about.
3) Think about which author has the best possibility of connecting with person that says they do not believe and present it to them that way.
4) Simply live it, manifest something using the Law of Attraction and show the person firsthand what worked for you.

My husband believed in the Law of Attraction from when I started learning but if he hadn’t—my healing certainly would have proved it to him. I was told I would only be getting worse by several doctors. Once I started learning about the Law of Attraction and the mind/body connection I was healed within weeks. This was AFTER six years of suffering. I adopted the Paging Me System to keep me conscious and in constant practice and there is no way after my family saw the transformation that anyone could doubt the power within.

What if this other person is really negative, won’t that have an affect on me?

Again, only if you let it.
