Our beliefs are the most powerful manifesting tool we have. Without belief, no amount of thought or emotion would be able to manifest as a single form. When we fail to believe in what we are attempting to create, we fail to create. It's that simple. The law of attraction does not work on thoughts alone, no matter what you've read or heard. It can't. Thoughts are only the beginning of the equation. The second part is emotion. Thoughts combined with emotions become very powerful indeed. But the third and most important part of the equation of creation is belief. And so summed up, the law of attraction equation is as follows:
Thoughts + Emotion + Belief = Reality
Now, since most people are unaware of the law of attraction, they are creating their own reality with a mixed bag of positive and negative emotions combined with frequent mind changes, or they simply give up on whatever it is they want to create. Once you decide on what you want, don't stop creating it simply because you don't see it manifest instantly, because it won't. Patience and persistence are also required to see your creation through to its intended destination.
Creative thoughts, of course, are required to initiate an idea but that is only the first step. A metaphor for thought in the equation is much like the spark that ignites the fire. It's not the fire and it's not the fuel that burns the fire. It's just the initial spark. Your emotions, whether positive or negative, are also essential, but even thoughts combined with emotions are not enough to create the reality that you intend. A metaphor for emotion in the equation is much like the paper or kindling you use to get the fire going. It's sufficient to expand the spark but certainly not enough to build a lasting fire.
The true power of intention must be completed with the belief that you can create whatever your heart desires. And this is the final element in the equation for the law of attraction. Belief is like the logs that you put on your fire to keep it burning bright. Throw on some heavy logs on top of the burning kindling and see what happens. Now you've got a burning fire!
Anything you can imagine is on the menu but the universe can only cook up what you've ordered. This means that negative thoughts combined with negative emotions combined with belief in those negative thoughts and emotions will be just as powerful at manifesting your reality as a positive-based equation. But of course, you would have to be unconscious to do such a thing. Unfortunately, most of humanity is doing this right now, both individually and collectively. The universe is simply serving to us precisely what we're ordering. It all begins with a thought. Then add emotion. Finish it off with belief. And there you have your reality. Positive or negative; the universe doesn't discriminate. But we have a choice.
