In the area of creating abundance most of the focus is placed on the Law of Attraction. Another law is the Law of Repulsion. I first heard about it when I was reading How to Solve All of Your Money Problems Forever. Victor Boc, the author, makes the promise offered in the title without a second thought.
The Law of Repulsion is founded on a simple concept but very insightful. Many people follow the practices of the Law of Attraction without success and wonder what’s wrong. They think the law isn’t working instead of questioning how their behaviors aren’t working. Boc’s teaching of the Law of Repulsion makes good sense.
If we can attract something to us, doesn’t it make sense that we can also repulse it? Naturally, that does sound logical, but you’re asking yourself, if you really want something, why would you repel it. By jove, that’s a great question. The answer is that the repelling takes place for the most part subconsciously.
If something was not interfering within the attracting process then everybody would have everything they are wanting. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In fact, mostly people do not attract what they want.
That is when the Law of Repulsion comes into play. We send contradictory messages to the Universe. I want lots of money, but I also think only greedy people make lots of money. I want people to respect me but I don’t respect myself. I want to be as thin and beautiful as the celebrities, but I don’t take care of my body.
The piece of the equation that effects this interaction is the amount of energy that is going into each belief? Does the positive part receive the most energy or the negative part? It is that simple. Remember that all life is energy. When the positive receives the most energy, it is attracting and when the negative is receiving more it is repelling.
The dynamic is very subtle. When we measure with numbers, the best case scenario is 100% pulling in and 0% pushing away. A stand off is 50/50. We can say that you must pull something to you with at least 51% of the energy. That would be the worst case situation in attracting. So, the difference is a mere 1% between attracting and repelling.
Fortunately, we can overcome 1%. How do we accomplish that? We look at the positives and negatives of what we want. We fine tune what we do. Is it too simple?
Perhaps, we make life hard. We are programmed in so many ways to think we have to work hard to have something. That’s how the saying, work smart not hard, evolved.
“It’s not worth having if you don’t work for it.” Tell that to someone who just won the lottery. Let me be clear. I’m not saying we don’t have to put energy into what we want, but it really can be simple.
Simple is not the same as easy. Einstein had a wonderful quote, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
Are you asking yourself what you’re going to do with this information? Awesome question and here’s an equally fabulous answer. First of all, relax with it. Awareness is the first step toward change. Think about something you’ve desired but have not pulled into your reality. Is the Law of Repulsion operating in some way? Make a change remembering that the change could be as small a fine tuning as 1%!
Should the change require a bigger movement, let’s say 49%, do not let it overwhelm you. This is an appropriate time to remember that baby steps are needed. Be sure to be gentle with yourself and give yourself credit for every step you make toward your desire. When it comes to creating abundance there are two laws, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Repulsion. Be conscious of both!

In a previous article I wrote about change and specifically about change models in the process of creating abundance. Restating the basics, there are stages we Cycle through when making a change. If you have determined that you are ready to make a change because you have thought about and prepared a plan for that change, then you are ready to make a commitment.
A critical question to ask is who are you making that commitment to? I often hear people commenting about needing to be held accountable. In that context they are actually needing someone or something removed from themself to do the accounting to. However, the most vital one you must be accountable to is yourself.
Please understand me. Using a coach or master mind group can be a useful tool, but ultimately, we must be accountable to ourself. Why am I certain about this? What happens when the coach or group goes away? A vacation, a move, a death, a conflict are all potential ways that forces from the outside can impact us. If you rely on yourself, that cannot happen. You are the one constant in your life.
Let me get back on track about the subject of commitment. There is a famous quote that is worth repeating taken from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition by W. H. Murray. I’m only quoting one sentence. “Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.”
The operative word in that sentence is ineffectiveness. Without a full on commitment, there is hestiancy and the opportunity to draw back. How can that lead to anything but ineffectiveness? How does one make a commitment? One decides to. Then you stay with it until what you’ve committed to is completed.
Napoleon Hill called it among other names a definite purpose. You’re on fire with a passion that does not allow you to do anything but meet your objective whether your objective is finding a job, a pay raise or finding the love of your life.
When you make a commitment to yourself, it is essential that you keep that commitment. Why is it so critical? Every time you make a commitment to yourself and then don’t keep it, you send a message to your subconscious that you are not able to keep commitments. Do you believe that will impact the next commitment you make? Sure! If you send enough messages of that nature, do you think you will lose faith in yourself? You bet!
Be careful when you make a commitment, but once you do, follow it with all of your Being! It will be worth your effort in creating abundance and an abundant life.
Thoughts are things. It’s the title of the first chapter in Think and Grow Rich. Not long ago that concept was novel. Now it is believed to be self evident and a crucial part of creating abundance.
The significance of our thoughts being concrete things is two-fold: how do thoughts effect our lives and how do we then use our thoughts in a constructive way. Let me first address the effect that this knowledge brings to our lives.
The character of our thoughts has a direct effect. Simply put, thoughts of a positive nature bring positive benefits and thoughts of a negative nature bring negative consequences. This thought process seems clear enough but the obvious does not necessarily translate into easily managed.
Let’s begin with…where do thoughts come from? Well, they are either internal or external. If they are from within, they are coming from a variety of sources such as influential people in our lives, from society such as the media or entertainment, from government and from our peers. Internal sources are our self talk or the voices in our head. Those come from our meditation or prayers or time in nature in other words our internal dialog.
A single thought without emotion is not going to effect anyone to any degree. However, when we think a thought repeatedly and put emotion into it, we begin to organize our thoughts together to create a belief and then a belief system.
It will be easier for you to understand if I give you an example. Since environmental issues are important today I’ll use the example of the electric car. Not that many years ago, the concept of an electric car was thought to be unachievable. One of the main reasons was that the battery charge was not enough to take us as far as we wanted to drive.
Then the price of gas started to climb to outrageous amounts giving an additional incentive to make alternative energy work. Technology advanced. Styles changed. Today the belief system around owning an electric car has changed immensely.
Hybrids have made this transition easier but now a totally electric car is not only practical, it is also desirable. If you want to purchase one, you have to reserve one. There will be no price haggling. You will pay the full sticker price and with pleasure.
What does all of that mean to you? This is a present day example of how we construct and apply our beliefs. An example from the past was the belief that the earth was the center of the Universe with the sun rotating around the earth. This belief challenged the existing belief to the extent that its advocate, Galileo, was ordered to stand trial for heresy and was found guilty. His sentence was imprisonment which was later commuted to house arrest.
With strong emotions, beliefs develop into convictions. So much so that people exhibit extreme behaviors as a consequence of their convictions. Our country is founded on the convictions of such a group of men, men who valued freedom above all else. On the other hand we have a new term to describe a person who will die for his or her convictions concerning religion and politics. That term is suicide bomber, but regrettably, this person will kill by-standers while taking his or her own life.
The phrase, thoughts are things, brings with it a responsibility, but the responsibility is one’s own. We each owe ourself the ability to control our thoughts to achieve positive benefits into one’s life. When you are creating abundance, it is a distinct benefit to create positive beliefs and belief systems.
