The Secret of Attraction: Harnessing the Power of Positive Thoughts ...
Many people misconstrue the concept of the secret of attraction as merely wishing for something and it will magically appear in their lives. But wishing alone will NOT work. You need to work at it, but then again, working hard alone will also not help you succeed if you do not combine your efforts with positive thoughts and actions. And here?s why:
Negativity is powerful energy. You attract what you fear or loathe or dwell on. For example, if you?re fretting over an upcoming chemistry exam, you won?t be able to retain all the information you?ve been reading. You can read your chemistry textbook and handouts repeatedly, but your negative thoughts ? fear of failing, fear of forgetting an important formula ? will only overpower all the things you tried to memorize. The result? A mediocre or even a failing grade on your chemistry exam paper.
Don?t let negativity rule your life.
To help you learn how to harness the power of positivity, here are some examples to give you ideas:?
- The secret of attraction to help you find true love:
Envision the kind of relationship you want to be in and define it well. Do you want a long term relationship with someone who shares your temperament and values, or are you welcome to have someone who is your complete opposite but adds spice to your life? When you have defined all these, start gravitating towards people who more or less matches your ideals. Avoid social circles where you will only be disappointed. Be selective with the company you keep.
When you think you have met The One, don?t rush into dating right away. Get to know that person more and respect his or her need for space and time. When you try to rush things (a negative no-no), you will only repel your prospective partner.?
- The secret of attraction to help you win a client:
If you?re in sales, you know what a cutthroat industry it can be. Many sales people would sell their grandmothers down the river just to nab an important client. On a less exaggerated note, they would even try to steal a fellow salesperson?s client by encroaching into the transaction. Don?t play dirty like those people, for in this universe there is such a thing as karmic comeuppance. Strive to be ethical and upstanding in your occupation. Carry out only positive thoughts and actions when conducting your business and pretty soon you will build a good name for yourself and attract clients. Leave the monkey business to your less ethical colleagues who will only end up having a reputation for being unscrupulous and irritating.
?
- The secret of attraction to having more money in your life.
If you want to attract wealth, you need to stop letting your money control you and instead, learn to control it to suit your goals. For example, all your life, you?ve seen how your mother could not control her spending. Shopping was a way to make her feel good, no matter how much debt she was accruing year in and year out. You need to stop equating your self esteem with how much money you can spend to impress your friends, which is a negative no-no. Start viewing money as neither good nor bad, but as a tool to help you live a stable and comfortable life. Using positive thoughts and actions like moderating your spending and paying bills on time are just some ways to bring in more money ?not debt ? into your life!
?
- The secret of attraction to get the body you want.
Yes, the doctor said you need to lose fifteen pounds. And no, pinning a photo of a supermodel on your refrigerator is not going to help you lose those fifteen pounds no matter how many times you stare at the image. The photo, however, may serve as a daily inspiration and reminder on the kind of body you?re aiming for. As you watch your food intake and carry out your daily exercise regimen, look at that picture to push you into sticking to the program ? and stop you from popping a few pieces of chocolate in your mouth.
?
- The secret of attraction to get a promotion.
First you need to ask yourself if you are ready for bigger responsibilities. If you think you are, then focus on getting that promotion. Ace all your projects and tasks, be early for work and appointments, go the extra mile, do anything that will show the big bosses that you are more than a team player, you also possess leadership qualities. Learn to navigate the tricky waters of office politics without playing dirty and by standing out using positive thoughts and actions to your advantage. You will stand out in the sea of cutthroat and competitive people by being the only one who refused to compromise your principles in the name of career advancement.
?
Let the examples above inspire you to be the best you can be in all facets of your life. Just remember to take things one day at a time as you work on improving yourself. Before you know it, you have purged yourself of all negativity, molded yourself into a better individual and have made positive thoughts and actions a constant staple in your life. You?ll be attracting success and happiness in no time!

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian rebels repelled a push Monday by government tanks into a central town held by forces fighting President Bashar Assad's regime in an 11-month conflict that looks increasingly like a civil war.
The military pressed its offensive on Rastan a day after the regime rejected Arab League calls for the U.N. to create a peacekeeping force in Syria and for an end to the violent crackdown on dissent. Damascus called the League initiative "a flagrant interference in (Syria's) internal affairs and an infringement upon national sovereignty."
With diplomatic efforts bogged down, the conflict is taking on the dimensions of a civil war, with army defectors clashing almost daily with soldiers. The rebels have taken control of small swathes of territory in central Homs province, where Rastan is located, and the northwestern province of Idlib, which borders Turkey.
The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least three government soldiers were killed in the regime attempt to storm Rastan, which has been held by the rebels since late January.
"Troops maneuvered by moving on the northern edge of town, then other forces attacked from the south," said Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory. He said hundreds of army defectors were in control of Rastan.
Rastan, home to some 50,000 people, was one of the first areas in Syria where people took up arms to fight the regime.
The uprising began last March as mostly peaceful protests against Assad's authoritarian rule, but has become more militarized in the face of the brutal military crackdown.
The U.N. human rights chief, Navi Pillay, told the General Assembly on Monday that more than 5,400 people were killed last year alone, and the number of dead and injured continues to rise daily. She said the scale of abuses by the Syrian government indicate that crimes against humanity have taken place since March and are continuing.
Rastan was taken by defectors twice in the past only to be retaken by Syrian troops. Calls to residents did not go through on Monday and the telephone lines appeared to be cut, as they usually are during military operations.
The Observatory, which has activists around Syria, said government forces also bombed the rebel-held Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr, which has been under siege for more than a week. It reported clashes in the village of Busra al-Harir in the southern province of Daraa between troops and army defectors.
In the central city of Hama, a sniper shot dead a civilian, the group said. In Idlib, the Observatory said 45 vehicles, including tanks, arrived in the town of Jisr al-Shughour.
Assad's bloody crackdown on the opposition has left Syria almost completely isolated internationally, except for one key ally ? Russia. China and Russia outraged the U.S. and many Arab countries earlier this month when they delivered a double veto to block a U.N. Security resolution calling on Assad to leave power.
The 22-nation Arab League has been at the forefront of regional efforts to end the crisis. The group put forward a plan that Assad agreed to in December, then sent in monitors to check whether he was complying. When it became clear the regime was flouting the terms of the agreement and the killings were continuing, the League pulled out the observers last month.
On Sunday, the League called for the Security Council to create a joint Arab-U.N. peacekeeping force for Syria and urged Arab states to sever all diplomatic contact with Damascus.
The group said it wanted to provide Syrian opposition groups with political and material support, and urged the opposition to unite ahead of a Feb. 24 meeting in Tunisia of the "Friends of Syria" group, which includes the United States, its European allies and Arab nations working to end the uprising against Assad's authoritarian rule.
Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said Britain would discuss the possibility of a joint African Union-U.N. peacekeeping force for Syria ahead of the Tunisia talks.
"Such a mission could have an important role to play in saving lives," he said.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said there must be a cease-fire in Syria before any peacekeeping mission could be sent to the country, rejecting calls for a joint Arab-U.N. force as premature.
Lavrov told reporters in Moscow that his country will study the Arab League proposal for a joint peacekeeping mission in Syria with the United Nations.
"We should first have peace, which would be supported," Lavrov said at a news conference in Moscow with United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin refused to directly answer questions about whether Beijing would support the League's call, saying only that China backs the League's "political mediation efforts."
He reiterated China's stance that it wanted to see Syrian authorities and opposition forces "properly solve their disputes through dialogue."
Assad's regime has long blamed terrorists for the revolt that began with peaceful calls for democratic change, but is morphing into a bloody, armed insurgency.

France's far-right leader attempts image change (AP)
PARIS ? Marine Le Pen has purged the old guard from her father's extreme-right National Front party and is reaching out to Jews, maligned under his leadership, in her bid to be the next president of France.
Daughter may be more dangerous than dad, many contend, as she sugarcoats an old anti-immigrant message and vies for a real slice of power.
Polls suggest a couple of million people may vote for the far-right leader in April ? and that momentum, the party hopes, could translate into seats in parliament in June legislative elections. President Nicolas Sarkozy is trying to woo these voters into his conservative camp with themes like French identity that mimic Le Pen's.
Marine Le Pen, 43, a divorced mother of three, took over the leadership of the party last year, replacing the charismatic Jean-Marie Le Pen, now 83.
He used his oratory skills to denounce the "decadence" of French society, promote his anti-immigration "French first" agenda and attempt to cast doubt upon the Holocaust.
She has concocted a name for her clean-up operation to trade the stigma of anti-Semitism for respectability: "de-demonize" the party.
An official support group that includes blacks, Jews and North African Muslims was set up to help chase the demons away. Gilbert Collard, a prominent lawyer who became a National Front trophy when he joined Le Pen's team, said that displays of xenophobia, racism or anti-Semitism will be reason for exclusion from the party.
But experts say the party remains racist at heart.
"I think there is a strategy of dissimulation," said far-right expert Sylvain Crepon, of the University of Paris.
"She has understood that the National Front will never reach power alone," he said. The only way to get access is via alliances "so she breaks into the sanitized zone" of respectable politics.
"I think, effectively, that it's more dangerous," he said.
And even if her chances are slim in the two-round presidential elections in April and May, Le Pen has set her political sights high. Her party hopes that a strong presidential showing will allow the National Front to gain a parliamentary presence for the first time since 1986 ? and have a say in setting the national agenda.
"Jean-Marie Le Pen didn't want to be a minister, didn't want to be president. That wasn't his objective, so fundamentally he really wasn't dangerous," said sociologist Erwan Lecoeur, who studies the extreme right.
"Today, it's the reverse. Marine Le Pen threatens the political system since she says she wants to run things and seems able to do so."
In contrast to her father, convicted of racism and anti-Semitism, Marine Le Pen has extended her hand to Jews in France and Israel. She met briefly with Israel's U.N. representative on a trip last year to the United States and has given several interviews to Israeli media.
But for Richard Prasquier, head of the important Jewish umbrella group CRIF, the National Front is among French groups that simply "put a mute button on their anti-Semitism."
"We will not vote for the National Front," he declared Wednesday in a speech at the annual CRIF dinner, with both Sarkozy and his Socialist rival Francois 0Hollande in attendance.
Le Pen has directed her party's xenophobic rhetoric toward a new target: Islam.
She made her public entree into the anti-Muslim arena in 2010, railing about Muslims praying in the streets on Friday, the Muslim holy day. She called it a sort of "occupation," in a reference to the World War II Nazi occupation.
Denying any racism, Le Pen, like Sarkozy, usually tackles Islam indirectly, by upholding the sacred French principle of secularism and denouncing globalization.
"It (is) forbidden to consider that France is also its churchbells and inherited cathedrals, and that the sudden eruption on our landscape of proselytizing signs like cathedral-sized mosques or minarets are not necessarily desirable," she writes in her just-published book "So That France Lives."
A vote for the National Front is a "vote for civilization," Le Pen has said.
But Le Pen's idea of civilization has alarmed many.
She danced last month at a Vienna ball held annually by far-rightists ? an event that coincided this year with International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Her attendance was seen by critics as proof that daughter and father are fundamentally alike.
And many are also disquieted by the presence of hardline extreme rightists still inside the National Front structure, keeping alive fears of radical nationalism. Some, like her father, are directly involved in her campaign.
Jean-Marie Le Pen, a six-time presidential candidate, stunned France and the world by moving into the second round of the 2002 presidential race to face President Jacques Chirac. He was ultimately defeated by an extraordinary union of leftist and rightist voters, and the National Front went into a downward spiral.
Le Pen and his party did poorly in 2007 presidential and legislative elections and ended up nearly broke, forced to sell the party headquarters.
In these elections, it appears Marine LePen has revived the party's fortunes. Polls consistently show her not far behind the second-place Sarkozy with 15-16 percent of the vote ? and as high as 20.5 percent last month. Hollande enjoys a comfortable lead.
But holding back Le Pen's ambitions is her struggle to secure the 500 signatures of local officials required to formalize her candidacy, suggesting she has yet to convince all of France that the National Front has changed. She needs to collect the signatures by March 16 in order to qualify for the election.
Le Pen formally requested a change in the French Constitution that would keep the names of signatories anonymous, thus protecting mayors who sign on her behalf from any community backlash. The Constitutional Council is to rule by Feb. 22.
As of Tuesday, Le Pen had only slightly more than 350 signatures, from a potential pool of 42,000 officials around France.
Even leading candidates sense that democracy will not be served if Marine Le Pen, with her considerable following, is not present in the election.
"It would be a problem, I admit it," Hollande said Tuesday in a television interview. Sarkozy said that a party drawing millions "should be able to be represented in the presidential race."
Several polling firms have already sounded the electorate to gauge what Le Pen's absence would mean for other candidates. Conclusion: the overall turnout rate would fall and Sarkozy would profit most from new votes.
As she campaigns on amid the uncertainty, Le Pen has shown she isn't short of fighting spirit.
Met by raucous protesters, some throwing water, on her arrival Monday in Reunion, a French department in the Indian Ocean, she kept smiling.
"I'm used to it," she said into microphones. "They bark, but they don't bite."
