When it comes to the topic of the law of attraction, Oprah Winfrey is someone whose opinion matters.

When Oprah talks people listen.

After all, she’s one of the most successful and influential women in the world.

So when she talks about how LOA works, people listen.

In a recent interview, Oprah talked about how her beliefs have shifted over time and how she now uses LOA to get what she wants in life.

According to her, LOA requires three things:

1. becoming clear about what you want
2. feeling good about what you want
3. taking inspired action.

If you can manage those three things, you can use LOA to manifest your desires.

Sounds pretty simple, right? But like with anything else in life, it’s not always easy.

Oprah explains

That when she first learned about LOA, she was a young woman trying to support herself after college.

She wanted a better television job and didn’t know how else to manifest it.

So she asked the universe for what she wanted by going through her house chanting “bring me a better job.”

Of course, this only brought her more trouble until she finall y found work at a news station in Baltimore.

“As Oprah says, it’s about aligning yourself with the frequency of what you want to attract.”

Law Of Attraction Is Like A Radio Station And You Have To Tune In To It To Get What You Want

However, as Oprah’s experience demonstrates it’s not enough to just ask the universe for something. You have to feel it as well.

In other words, if you want a better job—you have to tune-in and bring yourself into alignment with a feeling of having a better job before you start manifesting a new position.

Oprah’s manifesting model

Oprah brings a quote that may make it easier for more people to understand how it REALLY works. In relation to how it can help you achieve ALL your goals.

Important note: Oprah explains Law of attraction from her “personal experience”.

She’s made a billion-dollar business out of the Law of attraction and manifestation.

Now here’s my take on this:

1. Change your life

To change your life  for the better, you need to change your thinking. And this has nothing to do with “trying hard” or “wishing for things”

2. Be grateful for what you have

Gratitude is the first step toward changing and elevating your life. What you appreciate grows.

She says that to have more, you need to be grateful for what you’ve got. If you’ve got $10 dollars in your pocket. Be grateful for that. There’s always a deep lesson behind your current hardships and challenges.

I have been there myself. 7 years of broke (obsolete) is not as cool as people make it out to be (in the movies).

3. Levels of gratitude

If you’re grateful for having $10 dollars, someone else might be grateful for more things in their lives…

They may be grateful for having friends, family, somewhere to sleep and the $10 dollars.

The lesson here is the more reasons you have to be grateful, the better it gets.

And the better it gets, the more incredible things you’ll be able to accomplish. So it goes on and on…

Oprah’s list of successes in life

Oprah’s list of successes in life may resemble a miracle to some, but I assure you it is not one.
