\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 259 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

Hope is touted as a good quality. And it can be. But it can also block the Law of Attraction working for you most effectively. When I\u2019m working with a client or just speaking with a friend, I often tell them to have faith that it will all work out to get what they want. A common response is, \u201cI hope so.\u201d\u00a0 Does \u201cI hope so.\u201d sound like an intention to you? It tells the Universe you have a wish for something. People who hope insist that\u2019s showing faith; I insist that expresses doubt.<\/p>\n

Hope is looking into the future with a wishful intent for something you want to happen. Faith is living in the present and knowing it will all work out. Usually I\u2019ll give someone a positive talk about how I know that something good is coming for them and instead of an enthusiastic response I hear a tentative, \u201cI hope so.\u201d That does nothing to raise your vibration to the level you need for manifesting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s good to have hope that you\u2019ll get what you want but using more definite words fuels the Law of Attraction better:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI EXPECT to get the job.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI TRUST that my problem will wok you.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI KNOW that I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you see how the words in caps are more definitive about getting a good outcome? Hope can sound like wishful thinking. Next time you find yourself hoping for something pay attention to how you use it. You may want to rephrase your intention.<\/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\/4849","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=4849"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4985,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4849\/revisions\/4985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
