On the verge of giving up on LOA, Convince me.

[57angel]

DJ, I suggest you manifest small things for now, so you will have a solid proof in you that LOA is indeed working! When you have lots of small manifestations, that will help you stay happy and positive

Hey DJ - I kind of feel similar to you at this point. I DO believe in LOA and don't need any convincing because I've seen it work all around me and it's worked for me both positively & negatively in the past when I wasn't aware of it. BUT, I've also been applying LOA for the past 2.5 months to the point where it's become a way of life. But I haven't seen anything manifest either. Not even the smallest things I've asked for. I've asked for signs and gotten them. But like someone said on here "if you keep asking for signs, that's all you're going to get". So I've stopped that too. At this point I feel exhausted with all I've been doing and have decided to stop everything and just live my life day by day. I haven't given up on LOA or my desires, but I just need to stop actively doing any LOA exercises and just accept things as they are for now, and go on with my life. For me that's the only thing that will work for me right now. But don't give up! 

Yeah this is what I am going to do, I'm exhausted with it. Time to just be happy and content with life at the moment for a while.

i am proud of you----- you made big steps since you are here!!! what we have learned in the past and it got our habits, takes some time to be removed and they will!! 
you have friends btw

I manifested about $2700 in a day (just yesterday actually). A few weeks ago, I made a list of things I wanted to manifest in a week, and one of them was $100. I didn't get it that week, but I didn't start stressing, because I knew I would. Then I said a lot of affirmations, and I focused on money money money for a couple of days. The last few days, I let it go, I wasn't thinking about money because I had other things occupying my mind.
Yesterday I received my paycheque from work, along with $2000 in student loans (okay so I know I have to pay it back later, but money is money, that's going to pay for my summer school courses), and a bonus $400 in student grants!
So I dunno if that convinces you, but just know, whether you believe it or not, the law of attraction is always working.

Also, I agree with 57angel. When I first began applying the LOA to my life, I couldn't manifest anything big. But I was manifesting the small things, no sweat. Which really made me realize that there is a stronger force out there, and now I feel like I am getting closer and closer to my bigger desires. It's all about faith really.

What about the idea of acting "as-if" I've heard it thrown around a lot. But the question is how do we do it?

Yes this is an interesting theory acting as if, How can you act as if, if you don't know what if feels like? My thinking I got from The Secret is you use props to help get the feeling, so say I wanted a job, I could write a myself a fake email from a company saying I got the job, I could get up at 6am and get dressed etc as if I was going to work, I could have make believe work colleagues, give them names etc, I guess anything that will get you that feeling you would have if you had the job. I hope I explained this well? Its hard to do and myself find myself losing interest in it, and you do look like a bit of a dick up at 6am in your finest suit with no where to go

[truelove]

Yeah, if it makes you feel weird, I think don't do it.

I know you are applying for jobs all the time but maybe sit down and ask yourself what extra action could I do today towards getting a job? And how can I commit more fully to who I really am (just learnt this one  )

And is there something you love to do that you haven't done in aaaages because you haven't had the time??? Do it!! 

[JustForToday]

i also do think, that if your sbconscious still struggle to let go of the old beliefs about money or jobhunting, it wont work out anyway.

we have to believe it to get it. affirmations do help me and being grateful for small things, seeing that i get more blessings by doing so and getting in that high mindstate that i deserve the best and miracles are happening

i also highly recommend binaural beats to influence your subconscious.

i listen to them, theta waves, and then reading my affirmations and feel that it IS TRUE. heps alot to teach our subconscious to believe in the positive.

Sorry but I am in agreement with Tereza on this one.

We shouldn't be trying to convince this guy, he will either believe it or not but that is up to him and obviously he doesn't.

If only he realized that EVERYTHING, the good, the bad and everything else was of his own making......but apparently he is still of the belief that "THINGS" happen to us. 

We believe and there are dozens and dozens of stories on this site and on "The Secret" site http://thesecret.tv/stories/ that confirm that this works.......you must believe it, if you don't then you will continue to stay where you are. 

It's OK, no skin off my nose. 

[truelove]

Yes that's right Mariposa, it's true if someone doesn't believe it's not our job to convince them...
but in this case dj just needed to work through some limiting beliefs that were blocking his manifestations and making him feel like it doesn't work for him..

I know he will be seeing some successes soon.

I read them stories regularly and I did post one myself one time, if you read the terms before posting it says something like not all stories will be published meaning anything criticising it won't get a look in.

So yes limiting beliefs, I have a Tony Robbins program somewhere that tackles this very issue of limiting beliefs, I think I will have a go at that and then return to the LOA
