\"\"<\/a>This is post 185 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest your desires. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong> <\/a>to see how.<\/p>\n

Do you believe that in life you have to take the good with the bad? Many people do. Not me anymore! But I used to believe that life was a series of good and bad times and we just had to roll with the bad stuff so we could enjoy the good. Everyone around me believed the same thing. You took the good with the bad. And for me, life had lots of bad, interspersed with good.<\/p>\n

Now I know better! While I can\u2019t say that nothing bad ever happens to me, I get a lot more good these days, now that I understand how the Law of Attraction works. If you accept that good comes with bad, then good will come with bad. It\u2019s that simple. Your thoughts determine your reality. When you expect to have bad along with the good you get, the bad comes.<\/p>\n

When you keep your vibration focused on good, you minimize the bad stuff you get.<\/p>\n

Yes, things won\u2019t always be perfect. That\u2019s just how life is. If you let something negative get to you and your vibration reflects it, things you don\u2019t want can slip in. But you have the power to limit and control the bad by controlling your vibration as much as possible. Learn how to make lemonade when you get hit with a lemon. It might rain on a day you planned to do things outdoors but instead of letting disappointment spoil your day, find something great to do indoors. Accept that everything happens for a reason.<\/p>\n

The most important thing is to not sink down. When you make lemonade\u2014by finding the good in the unexpected or negatives\u2014you keep life sweet.<\/p>\n

The Law of Attraction responds to your vibration. Keep thoughts of bad things out of yours as much as possible. The ratio of good to bad is in YOUR control. Control what thoughts you allow to get into your vibration. While life can sometimes gets me down, my ups are what I try to base my vibration on. That tempers the downs and helps them pass quickly. If you only allow positives to drive your vibration, you\u2019ll keep the good coming to you!<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2933"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2963,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2933\/revisions\/2963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
