Past and Future Focus with the Law of Attraction

Imagination is what allows us to “see” the future.

Memory allows us to see the past.

Perception allows us to see the present.

The Law of Attraction states that whatever I give my energy, attention and focus to, I receive (attract) more of.

Often we attract more of what we don’t want - by focusing on what has already happened. (Memory). Instead, we need to focus on what we want by using imagination. Visualization is forward focusing.

Often, it is our perception of our present circumstances and focusing on what has already happened that gets in the way of our forward focusing. When we visualize that beautiful new 7 bedroom mansion with jacuzzi hotub and home theater, our perception tries to remind us that we are living in a 1 bedroom apartment and our memory that wants us to focus on the stack of bills.

If we are to move from where we are to where we want to be we need to look forward rather than behind.

I like how you called the Law of Attractions “Future Focus”. Why is it that we humans are so obsessed with visualizing the past - over and over - for decades!

Dr. Joe Dispenza has a great new book out called Evolve Your Brain that describes the physiology behind this. Pretty intriguing information.

We need to look forward however we must also realize that we can only change it in the NOW. The more we can remain in the now, the faster and more effective we are at creating our future.
We also need to remain conscious of not projecting our fears (what if it doesn’t work out) into the future as well.

Absolutely.There must be future focus and present action. I like what you say in your post

“The missing piece to attracting what you want in your life is the understanding that we live in a physical world and that requires physical action - or doing.”
Thanks, Tom(TRCoach)
