The Law of Attraction should be called the Law of What You Think About Most.
Like attracts like. What you think about, you get. 
If you think, "I won't get it because I never do," - you are correct.
Dreaming of something new while focusing on current problems is a sure way to keep spinning your wheels.
The secret is to focus your attention and actions on what you want to attract. That will require a dedicated effort. Vision Boards, lists of goals, daily journaling are all great ways to stay on track. 
The "Law of What You Think About" is magical and straightforward…
Decide what you want. Believe it is possible. Focus on the future, not the past. Don't stop until you get it.

Interpreting Your Calling
Is the Universe whispering and nudging you to move in a specific direction? 
Before I go on, I must admit that I am certainly not an expert in the Universe or if it works in our life. The magic of gravity is enough to blow my mind, and the only Secret I know is that you are the only one in charge of getting what you want in your life.
But what if you know that Universe is speaking to you? Calling you, compelling you to get off the sofa and do what you say you want to do? But you still won’t do it?
Many years ago, I was in the habit of listening to those voices whispering inside my head and following whatever I thought they said for me to do. Eventually, after many false starts, I realized the messages were not black or white. There didn’t seem to be any particular order, and they were almost always out of context with my life. In other words, mindlessly following my feelings often ended with me not getting what I wanted, and whatever I wanted to get away from became more assertive in my life.
One night at about 3 AM, a thought popped into my head—
“Maybe I’m not supposed to do what I’m hearing? Maybe I’m stuck in my thinking, and the Universe is giving me more of what I’m focused on.
You get what you focus on. That’s a basic rule of life. 
It made sense to me that whatever I was focused on would linger in my brain until I questioned it from a different angle - whether I wanted to your not. That’s when I started flipping the script and created my 180 Degree Rule.
Now, when a thought pops into my head and convinces me of the direction I’m supposed to run with all my enthusiasm, I pause and ask—
“What if it really means I’m supposed to move away instead of forward?”
With that new way of thinking, everything changed. It didn’t get easier, and sometimes took time to choose a path. Still, questioning the context of the wisdom as it applied to my current life and experience allowed me to avoid dead ends and frustration. 
And another thing happened…
My life became more balanced and calm by going into “trust but verify” mode. Instead of chasing dreams of what might be a reality, I focused on adjusting my reality to be more like the vision I held in my heart.
When the Universe speaks to you, it doesn’t always include context and directions. Take a minute to decide if you’re supposed to move toward or away, and clarity will emerge.

10 Daily Rules for a Happier You
Every day, we all jump into the craziness of life without much thought of the basic rules we use to run our day. 
Here are a few of mine. You can borrow them if you would like:
1) Do what makes your heart sing. You'll always feel better when you are dancing down your path.
2) Believe anything is possible. As soon as you believe - everything IS possible.
3) Be nice to others. Expect them to do the same. No further explanation is required.
4) Believe in people and encourage their dreams. When you do, they'll return the favor.
5) Do the right thing. If you mess up, say you're sorry, try again. 
6) Meet people where they are in their lives and walk with them to where you both want to go.
7) Do what you say you will do. It's always better to under-promise and over-deliver. 
8) Make lemonade out of lemons. Everything is fixable if you have the right mindset.
9) Keep things simple. Yup.
10) Relax. Life is short. Double yup.
Focusing on life's big picture makes it easier to enjoy your daily experiences.

7 Stoic Rules for Happiness
I'm a fan of Stoic Philosophy. While it may be over 2,000 years old, its practicality is still valid.
These rules to live by will help you have a happier life:
1. If you're going to learn and succeed, be humble. There is always someone more intelligent, more successful, and wiser.  
2. Find the right scene. Choose your friends and situations. If you want to rise in life, you can't allow yourself to be held down by others.
3. Protect your time. Seneca said, "We're tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers." Life is short.
4. Never do anything out of habit. Always think about how you can do things better, and always question yourself. 
5. Keep it simple — do your job. Approach every task as if it were your last because it very well could be. 
6. Adapt and learn from failure. Using your success to justify complacency is common. It's also easy, which is why most people do it. You can do more and be better.
7. Live below your means. The more you need work to maintain your needs, the less you will enjoy what you have.
Everything in life comes down to keeping things simple and mastering the basics. That's how you get the success you deserve.

7 Stoic Rules for Happiness

Opening New Doors Fuel Your Dreams
One of my favorite questions is, “What CAN I Do?” 
No matter how challenging a situation. 
Answering that question always reveals a clear path.
As they navigate our new world, I hear my clients ask me that question, too. 
My answer usually goes something like this -
“Can you do it? When you open a new door, you will find a new opportunity. Start opening more doors.”
Feeling empowered in a world that is draining your energy is like Tesla on a cross-country trip without charging stations is difficult. To ensure you are never running low, remember that dreams, possibilities, potential, and a feeling of certainty are all powered by new opportunities.
When you open a new door, an opportunity reveals itself. Your challenges will fade as you focus on the new way. But you must be willing to open a new door to find it.
The key to thriving in uncertain times is finding opportunities behind new doors. All you have to do is open the door.

Opening New Doors Fuel Your Dreams

Do This Instead of Setting Goals
Do you still dream of what you will be when you grow up?  
Do visions still keep popping into your head?  
Is there a mission that seems to be calling you?
What’s your BAM?  
What’s your BIG - AWESOME - MOTIVATING - MISSION?
What gives you pleasant dreams and a feeling of happiness?
What scares yet excites you?
What makes you smile and say, “If I could only get myself to…”
Stand up? Take a step? Repeat?
There’s no need to wait. You can start right now. Really! Right now.
