Does Using the Word "Want" Contradict the Law of Attraction?

By Michael Losier

If you're familiar with my work you'll often hear me use the phrase "So, what do you want?" In my book and other articles, I often refer to wanting to attract something. In short I use the word 'want'.

A number of people have been trained not to use the word 'want.' They have been told that when you use the word 'want' you're actually holding the vibration of not having 'it'. Or when you use the word 'want' you're coming from a place of lack.

For example, the word homework excites some people yet causes a negative vibration in others. Words can feel negative to one person and feel positive to another.

To illustrate my point, read the next two scenarios and after each one decide whether you are sending a negative vibration or a positive vibration. Note that the words are exactly the same.

Scenario # 1 - You notice something that you desire but in your head you catch yourself thinking, "I'll never get one as it's out of my reach." Then you say "I want one of those", in a whiny voice. (What vibrations would you be sending here?)

Scenario # 2 - You desire something new and you see it. With your eyes wide open and acting like an excited kid you say "I want one of those!" pointing at the exact item that matches your desire. (What vibrations would you be sending here?)

Remembering that Law of Attraction is responding to vibrations (your feelings), it's how you feel about the words you say which is most important.

It's not the words you use, it's how you feel about the words that you use.

So the next time somebody tells you not to use the word 'want' you can teach them why using the word 'want' is okay for you.
