How fortunate we (human species) discovered a major difference to the animal kingdom thousands of years ago. The discovery of consciousness and our ability to feel, think, learn, and grow. With honest thought and effort we consider facts to alter our own reality also known as “what is”. Failing to stay in the “what is” one will follow and fail to use that gift, the conscious mind. Upon noticing a following pattern, pause to be grateful for being mankind, then immediately stop the behavior. Compare yourself to the dog on the street. Why does a dog sniff and follow another dog’s scent? It is their way of knowing what is around them and sensing danger. Why do we need to follow another? We don’t. The conscious mind is mankind’s ability to lead. We know the difference between right and wrong, and can do right for self and others. When you find yourself following another person, trend or pattern, stop to think, learn, and grow. Following is your danger signal that you are not living the life you are capable of living. Why choose “the dog’s world”? Why do we follow? Most likely, it’s because someone saw us as incapable. Why continue to believe them? Why believe anything without checking it out? Check out the facts, put them into context to
Why the Law of Attraction Almost Always Fails!

Psychology
There are basically forces that neutralize success using the “Law of Attraction”. These forces surround us everyday. The Law of Attraction works by aligning our thoughts with our actions. When we are in alignment we increase our chances of achieving our success goals. Have you ever turned a nail or paperclip into a magnet? Most of us did as kids and it was fun. Take a magnet and rub it in the same direction across the nail and what happens? It becomes a magnet itself. Rub the magnet helter-skelter and it demagnetizes. Unfortunately the forces that surround us are not in alignment so as they rub up against us (figuratively speaking in most cases) they throw off our alignment. If you are not in alignment the Law of Attraction will fail! So it is imperative that we be able to identify these forces so that we can avoid as many of them as possible. The Three forces that cause our misalignment break down this way: External Internal Crossover My series of articles is going to deal in detail with all these forces. A quick overview of these forces are: External forces are things like friends, family, laws and such. Internal forces are things like lack of knowledge, lack of focus and phobias. Crossover forces are a combination of

For the People of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence… When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should “declare the causes“ which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath

How to be Happy, Romance, Wealth
We don’t stay where we aren’t wanted. We don’t remain happy in a job that gives us no staying opportunities. We may remain there for financial gain, but we slowly die in stagnation. The same can be said for all relationships. Without reasons to stay, our brain no longer functions the way it is designed to because we don’t get to properly exercise it when we are bored. We feel no emotion, we feel no attachment, and we feel worthless. If we stay, we doubt our ability to reason and we don’t look at the world around us. We don’t understand how others have more than ourselves. We wonder what makes us stay. Yet, we don’t question the actual behavior that we continue to choose each day. What causes us to stay? Is it fear or love of the job or relationship? Fear cripples us so that we no longer function naturally. Love propels us to do great things. Do you see a few who seem happy at work? Why are they happy? Are they really happy? What brings happiness? Think about the toddler and that huge smile. That smile is usually associated with conquering a new challenge on that unending quest for more knowledge. A quest to find a sense of accomplishment (a sense only created by the toddler)
