Of course, the intensity to which you desire to achieve any of these life elements varies, according to your values, upbringing, and beliefs. But in reality, this variation has more to do with the element that is lacking in your life rather than your values. Obviously, if you are healthy but broke you will intensify the desire to have more abundance and money.

Or, if you have money but lack a life partner or social life, you will focus on attracting a mate or increase your circle of friends. Perhaps you have a great social life but dont feel too well physically or emotionally. No doubt as to what you will be looking for. This said, know that all these elements must be present in your life if you want to have a balanced lifestyle. Only then you will achieve total happiness.

Now, how can you attract what you are lacking, so that you too can be totally happy? This is tricky for, according to the Law of Attraction, what we focus on becomes reality. By that, I mean that, if you lack romance in life, you will probably be focusing on this lack and working desperately to fill it. What happens here is that, spiritually speaking, you enter in a vicious circle that will required great concentration and work on your part to get out of.

Simply put, you focus on the lack, the universe gives you what you are focusing upon, and as certain as the sun follows the moon and vice versa, you receive the same lack you are focusing on. The more you receive, the more you will focus on and hence, the more you will receive. Yikes!

What you need to do is to reverse the situation. Oh, yeah, this is difficult in the beginning, but very doable. And when you get the hang out it, changing your focus from the lack to the abundance becomes a cinch.

So how do you reverse the situation? By catching your thoughts when they come -- a hundred times a day -- and immediately giving them an antidote by means of affirming exactly the opposite, like this:

So, when you think: "I dont have money" you say: "I am in the process of attracting money." Likewise, when you think: "Nobody likes me" you say: "I am in the process of attracting like-minded friends." You think: "I am in pain" you say: "I am becoming free." You think: "I am bored" you say: "Life can be quite exciting." And so on and so forth.

Got it? So dont delay. Start attracting what you want and not what you lack.
