Attract High Quality People!

Like attract like according to the self-help industry. You attract what you are. So, who are you? Become who you want to attract.

Like attracts like according to the famous book and movie called, The Secret. I do not know if this has been scientifically proven yet, but the self-help industry has a very valuable theory about how all of our thoughts have a certain vibration frequency that attracts the similar thoughts, or similar vibration frequencies from others. High quality thoughts with high vibration frequencies attract other high frequency thoughts. In contrast, low vibrating quality thoughts attract other low vibration frequencies. For example, I’m sure we have all also witnessed moments when a person finishes their best friend’s sentences. These best friends were literally both thinking the same thing at the same time, weren’t they?

In addition, don’t we make friends more easily with people that tend to look like us, think like us, and act like us? We all know that it is common for friends, or mates, to think alike, and even eventually to start looking more like each other, right? So with that in mind, maybe there is something to this vibration frequency and the laws of attraction. And maybe when we do have higher quality thoughts we actually do attract others with higher quality thoughts. Sadly, though, we have all probably seen the opposite to be true as well. Hey, it’s common knowledge that misery loves company, right?

Let’s travel beyond our thoughts now. What if we used higher quality words and higher quality behaviors? Who do you think we would attract for friends? How about mates? Right again. Our high qualities would also attract other high quality people. Think high quality thoughts. Speak high quality language, and behave in a high quality way, and soon we will find ourselves surrounded by a circle of kings and queens, right? Sounds good, doesn’t it?
