The Law of Attraction
Written By Troy Tait
This year, I had the honor of speaking at the first general session and introducing the theme, “Elevate and Excel – Achieving Milestones Together.” Along with introducing the theme, I had the privilege of announcing a significant milestone for Med One: the appointment of a new President/COO. Larry Stevens, our current President, shared the news that he would be stepping down from his role but would remain CEO and Chairman of the Board. His successor, Robb Stevens, has been with Med One for 22 years and is a capable leader whose talents will help Med One continue to build on its 33-year legacy of success.
After discussing this exciting leadership change, I focused on the theme and how we can all work to elevate and excel. I used several examples of individuals excelling in their professions and posed the question:
Why do people play golf? It is one of the most frustrating sports, with almost no chance of achieving a perfect score.
Yet, people continue to play despite the low probability of even achieving par.
I followed up the golf analogy with another question: when you decide to buy a new car, have you ever noticed that you suddenly start seeing that model everywhere you go?
These questions led me to one of the key elements of elevating and excelling, which is the law of attraction. Many people have a plan or strategy for success, but what allows some to reach new heights and excel beyond previous goals?
The Law of Attraction – thinking positive thoughts to bring positive results - propels us to new and higher levels of success. In golf, for an average player, positive thinking or the law of attraction brings them back to the course. Golfers seldom focus on the 95 bad shots they made; they remember the one great shot, which motivates them to return.
Focusing on positive thoughts generally leads to positive results. Athletes who excel often emphasize the importance of a positive mindset alongside the physical aspects of their sport. The same principle applies to all areas of our life, including work, personal, spiritual, and more.
By applying the law of attraction and focusing on positive thoughts, we are more likely to see positive outcomes.
While this is not a 100% guarantee, it has proven to be a key element time and again.
