Are you ready to accept everything the Law of Attraction has to offer? Do you struggle with believing it could possibly be true? Have you walked the fine line between disappointment and hope in what sounds like a miracle story? You may be closer than you think to fulfilling your dreams.

Say for a moment you asked for a million dollars.

After you’ve created the image, is it time to sit back on the couch and wait?

How realistic do you think that is? Do you expect to win the lottery without buying a ticket? Probably not.

So what are you supposed to do? Does the Law of Attraction expect you to get up and work for your money? Yes and No.

The question is not, “What should you do?” but rather, “What Inroads do you have?” An Inroad is the shortest path between two points, between you and what you desire. Jack Canfield, the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul appeared in the movie the Secret, talking about how he made his millions. He tells the story of using the Law of Attraction to meet a reporter for the National Enquirer, the start of his marketing campaign.

But, if he hadn’t already made an effort to write the book, would there be anything to market? His book was the first step in a series of Inroads leading to the attainment of his final desire.

Does that mean you need to write a book to get rich? Hardly, there are as many Inroads to fulfill desires as there are desires.

The Law of Attraction will take you from wherever you are to where you want to go. You just need to allow it to present the Inroads as they come up…and hang in there with belief.

If a ten-year-old child decides to be president of the United States, the Law of Attraction will start putting that desire into play, setting up the Inroads, but the final outcome won’t be available for another 25 years. Should the child decide two months into his quest that it isn’t working and abandon the whole idea? As adults we say that’s crazy, the kid should go for his dreams, but that’s not the way we treat ourselves.

Unfortunately for most adults, when they don’t see short term visible progress, while the Universe is building Inroads, they give up and shift their belief to disbelief. It is this short term view that cuts their progress short.

Does this mean you need to have the Inroads before you start? No, not at all; but you do need to be alert, watching for opportunities that could move you in the direction you wish to go. Trust your intuition, if an opportunity seems to be available, check it out. Follow your hunches. And above all, allow the Inroads to reveal themselves and unfold. Patience is considered a virtue for a reason.
