8. You Can 't Wish Things Into Reality
"A dream doesn 't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work." - Colin Powell
This is something that a lot of law of attraction students get confused about. You can 't wish something into your life like magic. You can 't want the car, think about it, pretend to drive it, and then expect it to show up in your driveway. You have to earn the car in some way, which means you have to work! And, the nicer the car, the harder you are going to have work.
This is reality and we need to accept that. Even though it would be nice, the law of attraction is not about wishing and looking at vision boards alone. It 's about getting clear on your intentions, getting focused so that

Hard Work Is Everyone 's Ticket In Life
"With true discipline, passion, hard work & sacrifice...dreams become reality...I grew up poor in the ghetto." - Will.i.am
It doesn 't matter what your life has been like up to this point, hard work is the ticket to a better life. If you are telling yourself excuses, such as 'I have it hard ', 'I grew up poor ', 'people are holding me back ', 'I made poor decisions ', 'I 'm stuck in life because [fill in with YOUR reason] ', or anything else, then you are denying yourself a better life. The only tool you need is hard work. If you can master that, then you can work your way into a better life regardless of where you have been and regardless of where you are now.
There are countless stories of people who have been poor, but became rich because of hard work. Ralph Lauren, Oprah Winfrey, J.K. Rowling, and Hilary Swank are all examples of what hard work can do to bring you from a state of lack to a state of abundance. However, it 's not just about money. People have pulled themselves out of bad reputations with hard work. People have pulled themselves out of poor health situations with bad work. People have saved relationships and literally turned their whole life around with hard work! You can
“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” This quote is by Booker T. Washington. In the book “Up from Slavery” Mr. Washington was a poor African American man who wanted an education. He was able to peruse an education, through hard work and perseverance. Then he wanted to help others also receive an education, by building a school.
I wasn’t poor but I wasn’t rich either, I was surrounded by an environment in which many people where in need of shelter and food because their families could not afford both. Just like poverty played a major role in my life, so did an ambitious and hardworking environment. Because those people I would see every day on the streets without food or a home, were the ones that had a bigger passion than anyone else, to one day be able to have a stable job and home for their family. This has shaped me to be who I am today, because I greatly appreciate what I have and take advantage of the opportunities I am given because not everyone is lucky enough to have what one
“Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.” (Michelle Obama). From this quote we should learn that your success is up to you. You determine how successful you are not anyone else. This means you need to work hard in order to have a successful life and be a successful person. You and only you determine your
I had little opportunity when I started out in life. . .I had to make my own living and my own opportunity, but I made it! That is why I want to say to every Negro woman, don’t sit down and wait for opportunities to come, get up and make them!”
... the American Dream goes, it will ALWAYS be there for most American citizens. However, whether or not we can achieve the American Dream will be the true battle.
People from lower classes try to achieve success but tend to struggle depending upon their foundation. The problem that people don’t want see is that we all want to become successful, and have the capability to do so but are just restricted by the lack of income.
The late Addarren Ross is known as his stage name Lil Snupe , grew up in the slums of Jonesboro, Louisiana knew nothing was handed to you especially when you're coming out of the ghetto, but did all he could stay focused on his dream becoming a famous rapper and getting his mom out of the ghetto.

In the summer of 2009, on June 29 the legendary Michael Jackson was announced dead. Michael Jackson was a music genius and prodigy. The King of Pop was the most successful entertainer of all time. For four decades, Michael Jackson changed the way artists all over the world looked at dance, music and fashion, making him a global icon in pop culture. He truly changed the world. Most people would look at him and say he lived the American Dream to the fullest. From the talent to the fame, he had it all. He was successful, rich, famous, and admired all over the world but do these aspects of his life really relate to those of someone who has lived the American Dream? Many people when talking about the idea of the “American Dream” primarily thinking of the romantic aspects of this idea. People think of the key elements of the American Dream such as equality, liberty, independence, hard work and success.These romantic elements of the American Dream are then emphasised in the world. People much like Walt Disney built an empire off of these romantic ideals such as “You can be who you want”, “ If you can dream it, you can do it”, and “Hard work equal success”. These parts of the american dream are the very appealing parts of the american dream characterize. This side talks about the reverse of the romantic ideals. For example, how hard work does not always result in success, there are many other factors that contribute to those that are highly successful. Every American wants to live out the american dream of equality, liberty,hard work equals success but in reality is it very rarely obtained. These ideals from both the romantic and the realistic side of the american dream are strongly expressed in books such as Great Gatsby, The Outlier...
Gladwell demonstrates that hard work does not get people to high places but a series of opportunities and other factors will. What people have grown up to think about hard work is not true and it is demonstrated through these various examples. People will not be able to succeed, practice, and master their skills without opportunities, timing, devotion, and moral support. There is no such thing as “rags to riches” because those people would not be rich unless they had opportunities in their life. Remember that with out these key factors, people will never be able to succeed.
In summary, the idea of self-reliance will continue to bewilder the minds of our current and future generations. In fact, this is due to the lack of a definite answer to the question. Nevertheless, I am persuaded that whether an individual be a believer or non-believer in having control of their destiny, there are forces or uncontrollable factors in life that have the ability to control a minute percentage of one’s destiny.
Most of us go through difficulties, either they be family orientated, be financially based or even with ourselves but, to take hardships and look at them in a positive way is, an attribute that can make anyone successful. Failure is not the end but the beginning of a life lesson. Some of us have setbacks but to remind oneself their only minor setbacks and look at difficulties in a positive manner is a key to success. Obstacles should never deter ones decisions in life either but should be their for encouragement and set a limit to over achieve. One must have the courage to face problems instead of negating or dwelling on them. Learning how to manage those difficulties in a positive manner and overcome those hardships can help become successful.
For some, happiness is all that matters. Happiness is achieved in many ways, and it doesn’t always involve money. There are many things that contribute to making a person feel happy and successful. One can feel successful without a lot of money at all. For example, feeling loved is something that makes everyone happy. Many believe that without love life is not thoroughly complete, thus never truly achieving success. Ones line of work can also affect how happy he is. Some feel that it is more important to enjoy work and get less money than it is to hate work and get paid more. Another factor in achieving psychological success is ones ability to enjoy what life gives him. There are many qualities of life that are overlooked. Everyone is dealt family and it is important to value that.
Robert Kiyosaki said “You’re only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You’ve done something” There is no way of becoming successful in life if you aren’t driven and don’t have determination in what you believe in. The main point of this book was that you need to make money work for you and not the other way around. It is tough trying to put your wants and fears to the side in order to get rich and stay rich. One tip given was that you need to stop what your doing if what your doing isn’t working for you. Robert Kiyosaki did a great job of taking us into his life and his journey into becoming successful.
