YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU WANT
The Hollywood film “The Pursuit of Happyness” starring Will Smith is based on the true story of Chris Gardner, a struggling salesman who becomes homeless with his young son. Despite his struggles, Gardner never gives up on his dreams and keeps pushing forward, even when things get tough. The film shows that Gardner’s persistence and hard work eventually lead to his success. He attracts the right people and opportunities into his life because he radiates a positive and determined energy. The film also highlights that success is not just about having a big dream but also about having the right attitude and mindset to achieve it.
In the film, Gardner says, “Don’t ever let somebody tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream; you’ve got to protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they’re gonna tell you that you can’t do it. Do you want something? Go get it.” Hence the film “The Pursuit of Happyness” is a powerful film that drives home the point that we attract what we are, not what we want. The film inspires us to be the best version of ourselves and to never give up on our dreams, no matter how challenging the journey may be.
We often hear the phrase “you attract what you are, not what you want”, and it’s true. What you become, not what you want, is what will bring you success and contentment in life. If you want to attract good things in life, you need to work hard and invest in yourself. To attract the things you want in life, you need to become the kind of person who can have them. Becoming successful and content requires you to work hard and focus on personal growth. You need to become the kind of person who embodies the qualities you wish to attract. If you want to attract wealth and abundance, you need to become the kind of person who is capable of managing and growing wealth. Investing in yourself and your skills is the key to becoming that kind of person.
SELF-INVESTMENT
When it comes to attracting what you want, it’s important to remember that you can’t just wish for something; you have to do the work. The energy you put out into the world will shape what you attract back. In other words, you can’t expect to attract something positive if your energy isn’t positive. Investing in yourself and becoming the best version of yourself is the first step in getting what you want. The first step in self-investment is to understand what you want and what you need to do to get it. It is important to have a clear vision of what you want and to have a plan of action to make it happen. You have to set yourself up to be successful and be willing to put in the effort.
This doesn’t just mean investing in yourself financially; it also means investing in your mental and emotional health. Taking the time to practice self-care and prioritize your wellbeing is just as important as any other form of self-investment. Taking care of yourself will give you the clarity and energy you need to focus on your goals.
The same is true of relationships. If you want to attract a loving partner, you need to become the kind of person who is capable of giving and receiving love. In other words, you need to become the kind of person who is worthy of love. Work hard on yourself, grow and develop your skills, and invest in personal growth. That’s how you become the kind of person who can attract the love you want.
The same principle applies to every aspect of your life. Whether it’s a job, a relationship, or a business, you need to become the kind of person who can attract and sustain the kind of success you want. Work hard, invest in yourself, and focus on becoming the best version of yourself. That’s how you attract the things you want in life. You attract what you are, not what you want, so work hard and invest in yourself.
