I was reading “Money, and the Law of Attraction” by Esther and Jerry Hicks www.kidsawakening.com/money&health last night and came across this quote:
“Words Do Not Teach, but Life Experience Does
Simply hearing words, even when they are perfect words that accurately explain truths, does not bring understanding, but the combination of careful words of explanation, coupled with life experiences that is always consistent with the Laws of the Universe, does bring understanding.”
Reading this from the context of sharing The Law of Attraction with others…here’s how I look at it:
Being a role model for others is more important and more impactful than trying to explain how The Law of Attraction works using only our words.
You will be much more effective if you teach by example.
For instance, say you want to teach your kids to pursue their dreams. You can use your “words” by saying things like,
“You know honey, I really want you to pursue your dreams in life. Go for it!”
But if you aren’t pursuing your own dreams, then your words won’t carry much weight at all.
(I’ve said to my kids, “I waited until I was older to pursue my dreams because I was afraid that my dreams were not realistic. But I don’t believe that anymore. I believe everyone should follow their dreams. But you don’t have to wait until you’re my age. You can learn from me and know that you can create a life that you really love by pursuing what you love to do now.”)
If you REALLY want others to “get it”, then let them see you pursuing your dreams.
But you can also be honest with them. If you’re a “late bloomer” like some of us, it’s okay to confess.
And don’t worry about whether you’re a “big success” or not. Just by taking actions toward your dreams is HUGE and to coin a cliché, it’s all about the journey anyway!
The people in your life will learn by your life experience and your willingness to “go for it”.
You’ll pave the way for them to follow their inner guidance.
So, what actions will you take today to dig out and dust off an old dream of yours that you’d like to pursue, just for the fun of it? Think of what a fabulous role model you’ll be to others and everybody else in your life for that matter!

We’ve been reading “Money, and The Law of Attraction in a book study group I go to in Oviedo, FL twice a month. I highly recommend it. It’s one of the books that sits on my nightstand!
