The reason why success comes so easy and naturally for one person and is a struggle for another is because one person thinks the way he wants to think and another person thinks against himself. There is a beautiful story in the yogic lore.
Here's the deal: We're all super attractors. We all have the power to co-create our reality. The only problem -- often we use our power wrongly. We think we're playing magic tricks with the universe when really we just need to be more creative.
When you focus on something you want, you'll most likely get it -- but if you don't back up your manifestations with the intention of service and love, the outcome won't matter.
