Remember that everything is energy, and energy is always in motion and flow.\u00a0 Flow might be described as the natural unfolding of our lives in a natural way.\u00a0 Leveraging the Law of Attraction is all about being in the flow of our highest self \u2013 being in alignment.\u00a0 This is often trickier than many would assume.\u00a0 So often, we try so hard and struggle believing that hard laborious work will reap us what we want \u2013 the old Puritan work ethic.\u00a0 To truly leverage attraction, the secret is more about letting go and less about struggle and gaining control.\u00a0 When you return to the genius and the God force that came with you into this world, you truly come into alignment or flow.<\/p>\n

So what are the personal qualities or characteristics you may want to identify, check, or model to become a flowmaster?\u00a0 Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom, authors of \u201cThe Power of Flow,\u201d penned an interesting work that inspired this, my take.\u00a0 They identified nine qualities that I have altered and added to that fit the qualities so helpful to fully leverage the Law of Attraction.\u00a0 It matters not whether you score highly in all of these areas at the moment, but if you are looking for clues for potential growth areas, here is a good start.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Commitment<\/strong> \u2013 This is the quality that makes all the following possible.\u00a0 When you say, \u201cyes\u201d to life, you acknowledge the flow.\u00a0 Commitment is more about the self, your truths, and your journey to become our best self.\u00a0 That then extends to others and the greater whole \u2013 your family, community, school, workplace, nature, country, and the world.\u00a0 You simply can\u2019t commit at one level and ignore the rest of your extended world.\u00a0 With commitment, you drive qualities such as decisiveness, perseverance, and bliss-ipline.<\/li>\n
  2. Self-Acceptance<\/strong> \u2013 This is all about seeing the Source energy or God force that is already in you \u2013 and being, at the least, satisfied with it.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t mean ignoring your limitations, but it does mean not playing the blame game or beating yourself up with shame, guilt, or verbal abuse.\u00a0 Then what we accept for ourselves, we extend to others.\u00a0 Judgment, harshness, envy, and finding fault with others are low energy activities, which will attract the same back to you.\u00a0 Instead, view everything that is unintended as a lesson, not a personal threat or attack.\u00a0 In that way, you will become energized and go with the flow.<\/li>\n
  3. Appreciation<\/strong> – Why not consider everything a gift?\u00a0 Find the surprises in your life. Consider the alternatives to what happens to you (often things could be worse).\u00a0 In the book, \u201cThe Bliss-ipline Factor,\u201d I introduced the \u201cThanksgiving Formula\u201d detailing both appreciation\/gratitude and charity in any form as one of the key ways to leverage the Law of Attraction.\u00a0 Truly demonstrating appreciation is the \u201cquick fix\u201d to elevating your vibrations and keeping current with the flow.<\/li>\n
  4. Centered Silence<\/strong> \u2013 The actor, John O\u2019Hurley, told me that he noticed that all truly successful people seem to have a centered stillness and definiteness of purpose about them.\u00a0 John has it right.\u00a0 You may want to rid yourself of all stimulation, emotions, activity, and thought.\u00a0 Silence allows you to become more conscious of the flow around you, allowing you the space and position to move in any direction, to pursue any option, to make commitment, explore openness, flourish appreciation, rejuvenate energy, build courage, let generosity flow and creativity to emerge.\u00a0 It can be accessed in many forms to include meditation, prayer, affirmations, repetitive motion, dancing, yoga, walking slowly, listening to certain kinds of music, retreats, etc.<\/li>\n
  5. Bliss-ipline<\/strong> \u2013 This is a term I trademarked.\u00a0 Discipline combined with bliss or joy spells passion, which energizes the Law of Attraction.\u00a0 By following your bliss, hard work becomes effortless, but your discipline drives consistency to keep you in the flow.\u00a0 Exercised on a daily basis on the little details of life, bliss-ipline eventually creates immense advances, and is the key factor to multiply the effectiveness of everything else you do.<\/li>\n
  6. Self-Awareness<\/strong> \u2013 knowing what your core beliefs are and how they impact your existence is crucial.\u00a0 These beliefs cause the feelings that spew out all your vibrations into the Universe.\u00a0 The more aware you become of all your feelings and their connecting thoughts, the quicker you can affect the changes within yourself to become a more aligned deliberate creator.<\/li>\n
  7. Patience<\/strong> \u2013 Your journey is a lifelong process.\u00a0 Tiny, but continuous progress even at the pace of a turtle will always pass the quick, but inconsistent pace of the rabbit.\u00a0 Flowmaster go with the flow, not against it or faster than it.\u00a0 They understand that by giving up the need for control, they actually gain it \u2013 all at the proper time.<\/li>\n
  8. Risk Taking\/Courage<\/strong> \u2013 You cannot expand or change without incurring some risk.\u00a0 Risk is integral to change.\u00a0 Take the kaizen approach to taking on risk in very small, manageable, doable pieces.\u00a0 By taking tiny steps, you can minimize the fear factor that usually accompanies attempting to take on big change.<\/li>\n
  9. Trust <\/strong>– Trust in your beliefs and the flow are the key to initiating the second of the four steps in leveraging the Law of Attractions – belief.\u00a0 By trusting the flow, you will soon realize that you don\u2019t have to do or be it all \u2013 the Universe or God force will do the heavy lifting for you.\u00a0 That can be so liberating for you!<\/li>\n
  10. Charity<\/strong> \u2013 Generosity in any form raises your vibration level and keeps you in flow.\u00a0 Hoarding and greed simply don\u2019t and position you in an endless struggle against the flow.\u00a0 Giving also means generosity without any expectation, manipulation, control, or atonement.\u00a0\u00a0 And it is equally important to be a good receiver as well if you want to complete this cycle of flow.<\/li>\n
  11. Immediacy <\/strong>\u2013 What I mean by this is that living in the present keeps you from capsizing once in the flow.\u00a0 In the flow, you can\u2019t afford to preoccupy yourself with past events, or ponder future fears, and both are untouchable. Being tied to the past is like driving an auto with such a huge rear view mirror that it blocks the entire road ahead \u2013 not good!\u00a0\u00a0 The present has no knowledge of the past (you might), but it will impact your future.\u00a0 You attend to what is happening right now \u2013 immediately and exercise your innate ability to be a deliberate creator.<\/li>\n
  12. Openness<\/strong> \u2013 Being open means that you do not waste your time or energy in defending your positions, or building walls between yourself and the world.\u00a0 It requires you to move beyond your fear, prejudice, habits, and anger to a position of tolerance and compassion.\u00a0 It does not necessarily mean agreeing with others, but without openness, the flow churns and becomes destructive.\u00a0 Our goal is to engage the flow, not to fight it.\u00a0 Besides, if you were not open, how would you expect to change?<\/li>\n
  13. Positivity<\/strong> \u2013 Finding value in every situation and embracing it is what being in flow is.\u00a0 The flow has direction and you might as well enjoy it in a positive way.\u00a0 What that means is that you are not a faultfinder, but a fact-finder.\u00a0 Criticism, resentment, and complaining are out.\u00a0 You can learn from every situation \u2013 or at least, you always have that choice.\u00a0 Positivity also eliminates fears thus making us able to enjoy the flow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Start out with little steps working on perhaps one point every week and before you know it, you will begin to enjoy amazing changes in your world.\u00a0 Trust me, these steps work once you accept the flow!<\/p>\n
