Are You Attracting What You Prefer?

By Rosalee Pilling | 05/18/2020

As we move about in our spaces, we interact with the world and the world responds to us -often times- immediately and at other times in weeks, months, or even years. You may have asked yourself: why do I attract the same kind of relationships, or keep doing a certain behavior when it does not sit well with my conscience or feel good in my soul? Or, why do I keep saying that I don’t want something, but the same thing keeps happening? Many of us grew up in church so we know that words matter, and they can kill the spirit or feed the soul. Words can tear down, insult, demotivate, stir up strong emotions, and cause stress. Conversely, words can encourage, empower, build self-esteem, motivate, inspire, and give hope. The words by themselves have no power, they are like any other thing that requires manipulation by us to be effective. Words are so powerful that they can change your entire life to what you want it to be. It does not matter where in the world you are, what language you speak or what culture you were raised in, you can make your existence what you want it to be by attracting what you prefer.

My own journey to intentionally attract what I prefer in my life has been long and very interesting to say the least. I had to learn lessons over, and over again before I realized that I was in a cycle and I needed to BREAK IT. It was when I said NO MORE, and started to take action that things started changing for me. For many years I had no idea who I was, and I used to speak words (Healthy and unhealthy) without fully understanding their impact on me. I said them because I heard them from other people (parents, teachers, pastor, friends, the media etc), or read them, and I believed them. Now, I am conscious of what I say, because I know the power of my words on my life. Consider this, what would you say if you knew that the words you say are about you, and has nothing to do with any other person? Until I watched “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, I could not understand why I was attracting the very things that I did not want in my life. I couldn’t understand that I was defeating the very things I worked hard for because of my spoken words. There was something that “The Secret” did not cover, though, and after identifying the missing piece for me, I had the breakthrough.

There are three simple things that must happen before you can start to attract what you prefer in life. 1) knowing who you are. Many people believe that they are aware of who they are, but if you ask them who they are, they cannot tell you. They know what they like to eat, their favorite drink, color, sexual preference, religious persuasion, the type of car, and house they like etc. but they have no idea who they really are. They will tell you what roles they play in life. For example, one might say I am a teacher, but a teacher is not the full measure of that person. When you are aware of who you are, everything else begins to fall into place. You begin to speak into your life, and see it manifest the way it was purposed. 2) Intentionally speaking life words no matter what. This is simple, but not easy, especially when you are angry, or emotional. 3) taking action. Action is necessary for change. One cannot work without the others. Remember, for you to attract what you prefer to feed your mind, body, and spirit, you must first know who you are, know how to speak life words intentionally no matter the circumstances, and do something about it.

You attract what you speak, period. Whether you speak from the true you, or not, the true you is the one that receives what is generated by your words. As such, take control over what you attract. It’s not easy, then again nothing meaningful is easy. It is, however, very simple. As always I encourage you to Be U Because No One Else Can.
