Other People’s Doubts and the Law of Attraction

It’s wonderful when your family and friends believe in and encourage your business vision. But what if they don’t? Are you doomed to feel miserable, too timid to move forward with your dreams? Or could there be another way?

Let’s be honest: other people’s doubts about you feel rotten. I’ve had coaching clients who blamed all of their lack of progress with a business idea on unsupportive and even hostile family members. “My parents think I’m crazy to leave a good job just to follow a dream that may never come true. And maybe they’re right.”

Does Law of Attraction offer a solution to this quandary? You bet it does.
Each of us is the main character in our own life. The events, circumstances and people we encounter outside of us are reflections of the thoughts and feelings we hold inside of us.

This idea may strike you as odd — I mean, your skeptical mother is always that way, isn’t she? Well, not exactly. Your mother shows up one way to you and quite another way to her old friends from high school, her boss, and her favorite grandchild.

Even your dog can be frisky and friendly with you who love him but standoffish with your sister who is afraid of him.

Flashing neon sign: the way others show up to you has only to do with…you.
Other people’s doubts mirror our own doubts back to us.

When we don’t like what’s showing up, it’s time to stop blaming others and examine how we may be responsible. Law of Attraction reminds us to examine our thoughts and feelings.

How are you secretly doubting yourself? What are your fears about stepping out of your comfort zone?

By looking within, we can usually make the connection between what’s showing up in “other people” and how that’s a mirror to what’s inside us.

Aha. It was me all along.

At the soul level, your skeptical friends aren’t trying to stop you. Their soul purpose is to wake you up to the truth of where you vibrate.

The awareness that it’s about you, not them, opens up a new set of choices about what you prefer to think, feel and attract.

Our new choices cause Law of Attraction to match us up with entirely new experiences.

As you deliberately change your vibration — a skill that anyone can learn — you’re no longer a match to doubt. You radiate confidence and certainty from within. And, surprise, others no longer doubt you.
