A Law of Attraction Lesson on Desire
Desire. It looks like such a simple word, yet so many people have different views on what it really means. If you’re learning to manifest your desires by applying Universal Law of Attraction, you should make sure that you fully understand the concept of pure desire.
First, let’s discuss what desire is NOT. Desire is not that feeling of wanting something that you do not have. It is not that deep, desperate yearning that leaves you feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. These feelings are focused on the lack of what you want; therefore, they are not feelings of pure desire. Quite to the contrary, they are feelings of resistance towards your desires.
When you are pitifully longing for something, you are so focused on its absence that you cannot allow it to manifest in your experience. The negative emotion that you feel is your Inner Being’s way of letting you know that you are way off track. However, you simply need to align your thoughts with the positive vibration of your desire in order to change the course and allow the manifestation.
So, what is pure desire? Pure desire is that child-like feeling of excitement about an experience. When you know that something is coming your way and your heart is pounding with gleeful anticipation, you are experiencing desire. Most children are wonderful at aligning with pure desire, so don’t be ashamed to learn great lessons from the little ones in your life. For many reasons, adults often refuse to get excited about something that they can’t yet put their fingers on. They want to see it, feel it, and experience it with our flesh before offering any thoughts of appreciation.
Because most of life is about the time in-between manifestations, this mindset will only serve to prevent 90% of your happiness. You’re working against Law of Attraction by holding resistance to all that is there for you. Yes, you will still experience some manifestations in your life; but they will be slow and hard to come by. Also, you will cut yourself off from joy in the interim.
If there is something that you want right now, focus your attention on the fact that the Universe will deliver it to you. By Law of Attraction, all you need to do is align with that desire.
If you want to meet your soul mate, get lost imagining how wonderful it will feel to be close to that person. If you want to manifest a new job, see yourself there with the world’s biggest smile plastered on your face.
Pure desire is not represented by wishing, pleading prayers, and yearning for that which eludes you. It is evidenced by appreciation, enthusiasm, and a song in your heart for that which you are certain is on the brink of manifestation in your life.
“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” -Napoleon Hill

I agree that negative emotions are your body and minds way of telling you that you are doing something that isnt working for you.
I read The Secret last year and watched the DVD. I was astonished by the things that it confirmed in my mind. Mainly, what I took away from this reading; thinking about what we “don’t want”, and focusing on what we “don’t have”, is a problem.
The one thing that they stated many times was that we don’t have to know the “how” something will happen, but that it will be revealed to us, if we are watchful.
I know the how of it and I would like to share that here. When we focus on what we want, and align our wants and needs, a desire is developed. Everything that we want, or don’t want becomes our heart’s desire, as far as the Universe – our subconscious mind – is concerned.
Each time we want or need something we hear the word “should” directing us toward the goal. This is the “how” that is revealed. This word has a bad reputation. However it does guide us toward, taking action, and helps us achieve, through the use of the law of attraction.
That “gut feeling” is something telling you that you “should” do something – intuition. If you don’t do what you “should” you may very well miss out on what the Universe is trying to deliver, and you are not taking action.
After realizing this “how” the Universe tells us, I started doing “what I thought – heard – I “should” do and the results were incredible! I wonder how many opportunities that I have missed in the past because I refused to listen for this word and take action, toward what I wanted.
The law of attraction works, if you feed positive thoughts and emotions, to the subconscious mind, and follow through, by doing what you “should”. Please note: I am not talking about figuring anything out ahead of time, but listening for the word as it comes along. We all have accomplished everything that we have, to date, by doing what we “should”.
