According to American author, motivational speaker, corporate trainer, and entrepreneur, Jack Canfield, the Law of Attraction is “an universal principle that states you will attract into your life whatever you focus on.” Basically, anything you spend your time, energy, and attention on will come back to you. As a very goal-oriented community, we thought it none better to spread some love and light on Valentine’s Day by hosting a Coffee Talk centered around this very topic.
Complete with heart-shaped doughnuts, hot coffee, and fresh orange juice, we set up in the lobby of 250 E Ponce to greet tenants as they came in and to put the Law of Attraction to the test. Each participant was given a card where they were asked to share their intention for either the day, the week, or the year.
Whether it was manifesting positivity or a breakthrough on a work project, we wanted to collect everyone’s responses and then follow-up at a later time to see if the Law of Attraction rang true. And the intentions did not disappoint:
Members also mingled around after, discussing manifestations in general, the statistics surrounding it, and how to incorporate them into their daily lives. From these conversations, we learned quite a bit about our community. For instance, the majority of attendees found it easier to pick a goal for the day, rather than the week or year. However, several tenants regularly practice manifestations – one even had a dream board at home!
Whether the intention set was long-term or short, it’s always a great idea to focus on the good – and your goals!
