“Train up a child in the way he should go and even when he is old he will not depart from it.” The Bible – Proverbs 22:6
People all over the world today are awakening to the knowledge that we have the power to consciously create our lives through choosing our thoughts. This concept is often referred to as The Law of Attraction. Simply put, The Law of Attraction is a principle of like attracting like. The way that we experience this law is through the manifestation of a physical reality that is like our metaphysical reality. In other words, the things that we consistently think about are the very things that show up in our actual experience.
Imagine our thoughts as magnets that attract things like themselves. Now, imagine that every time you repeat a thought, the magnet and its power gets bigger. This means that the more you focus on a particular thought, the more powerful that thought magnet becomes to pull the very things you are thinking about into your life. This is true no matter what the nature of the thoughts. Positive thoughts attract positive experiences. Negative thoughts attract negative experiences.
This is why many adults who become aware of the principal of the Law of Attraction are inspired to work at replacing long-held negative or limiting thought patterns with new positive and empowering patterns of thinking. This requires commitment to an intention to be aware of negative thinking and to consciously replace it with positive thinking. And, if you are one who has been working at shifting your thinking in this way, you know that it is no small effort. The good news is that, with consistent practice, positive thinking eventually becomes more of a habit than negative thinking. In other words, we begin to habitually operate from positive thought as our natural way of being.
Now, imagine what it would have been like to grow up in the habit of positive thinking. Go ahead; take some time to actually consider this. Do you see yourself as experiencing life with more confidence? More success? More joy? What a gift that would have been!
As adults who have awakened to the principle of the Law of Attraction, we are in a position to give our children the gift of growing up in the habit of attracting what they consciously want out of life. They can experience life as their own creation, rather than as something that seems to just happen to them. We can empower them to create the experience of positive living. I cannot imagine a greater gift to give to a child. Can you?
I want to support you with giving the gift of empowerment to your children. Therefore, I will be posting a series of blogs with powerful insights and practical ideas that will help your children develop habits that will empower them for a lifetime. As an experienced life coach, I understand the tools that empower people to create the lives that they want. As a mother and grandmother, with a degree in child development and more than 20 years of experience teaching children, I understand how to make these tools work for all ages. It is my great desire that this blog will inspire you and empower you to empower your children. I hope that you will join me, and share your wisdom as well. Next week's post will be titled: Empower Your Child with Routines for Developing Empowering Habits
