A Practical Use Of The Law Of Attraction: Creating Sales Part 6 - Trying is Resisting

Trying is Resisting


My favourite movie quote is Yoda from one of the Star Wars movies. Sorry I can’t remember exactly which.

“No try. Just do.”

All that talk about using the force just looks spiritual to me. Isn’t it that we are all trying to align with our higher selves, which could easily be construed to be the “force”.

“Trying”, as Yoda was alluding to, is the single biggest blockage that we all face in manifesting our desires. In the Abraham-Hicks book, “Ask and it is Given”, manifesting desires is given as a 3 Part process.

Step 1: (your work) You ask.

Step2: (not your work): The answer is given.

Step3: (your work) The answer, which has been given, must be received or allowed (you have to let it in).

Trying is related to step 3, allowing the answer.

Modern business life is all about action. Set your goal and go for it. The process of allowing is far to a passive concept for modern management. Instead it is akin to waging a war. Marshall the forces to the goal and apply maximum effort.

This the method most sales people use. Talk or see as many people you can. Apply maximum effort and push like crazy to convert prospects into sales. All this effort equates to trying.

As I have applied the Law of Attraction to creating sales, I have found that, after meditating in the morning and being clear on my desires, often first thing in the morning a customer would walk in and say I’ll have one of those and so by 9-20am I had made my first sale! And often the process would happen again and maybe even a third time so by 10-30 Am I was looking good. The only trouble was that I wouldn’t stay open to the process and allow sales to be attracted, but instead start looking for the next sale and thinking about a number I was going to do for the day.

I was no longer open and free, presenting a positive vibration to customers. I would be pushy and fearful of not making the sale. So it transposed for a period that I would make some good sales in the morning but not doing anything in the afternoon. I had begun trying.

Yoda was alluding to trusting the force. Being connected. Trying is our earthly effort. Trusting the source to deliver is doing of the highest order. And so in the process of creating sales or any of our other desires, once we are attempting to make it happen with action we actually block its arrival. We are resisting. We are no longer trusting the source to create. We instead have decided to give it a little earthly help along as we no longer expect our desire to be fulfilled.

It is paradoxical that that which appears passive it vastly more powerful than the exertion of all our earthly efforts. Remain open and expectant of receiving your desires and you will be truly rewarded.
