Hi and welcome to my blog. My name’s Tim Halloran and I discovered the Law Of Attraction several years ago after watching The Secret film (Rhonda Bryne).
The Law Of Attraction
I was immediately sold on it and started dreaming about all the things I could manifest into my life! Within a very short period of time I became dismayed! “This isn’t working” I declared, and promptly gave up. I went back to my life of moaning about how difficult everything was and struggling!
Before long life was pretty unbearable. My debts were mounting, I had a terrible job and my relationships were a near constant disaster. I knew whatever I was doing wasn’t working! So I stopped doing it.
Why I Looked For The LOA
I was working a job driving HGV’s and I had just got my licence. After several crashes and mishaps, I decided to rethink my life. Things just weren’t going well. I was in a state of nervous exhaustion all the time and my money worries were through the roof.
So I thought back to the film The Secret and decided there must be something in it.
I found various books which which mentioned The Law Of Attraction before The Secret was made and which discussed the concepts in depth of:
- Quantum physics and vibrational frequency
- Using gratitude to change your vibration
- Desire and expectation
- Thoughts becoming things
- Beliefs
I started applying these ideas to my life and quit my job doing HGV driving. The money I made wasn’t making a dent on my debts and it was totally stressing me out.
Within a few months things turned around and I’d managed to pay off all my debt and put money in the bank (more on how later). It took much longer to right things completely in my life and it’s still work in progress. But I put many of the good things down to what I had spent several months studying in books like:

Looking Back
Looking back at my life it’s now clear that the law of attraction was already working in a number of ways for me. I just wasn’t aware of how they were working or why.
When I was about 10 years old I used to watch James Bond films with my Dad and brothers. I was awed by the way he would always survive the unescapable situations he got himself into.
I wanted to become an actor but had no idea how to do it. I later met a stuntman when I was in my 20’s and decided that was the route I would take! The stunt business was tough but every job I got was a huge blessing. I loved the film world but over time things changed.
I was constantly working other jobs to make ends meet and the stunt work was so sporadic, I was constantly worried about money and putting life on hold until the next job. Then, when I got work, I had to make earnings last. I was trapped by the golden handcuffs of the film industry and no other job was as interesting or well paid.
It’s clear now that my childhood dreams were incredibly powerful. I didn’t give up on them. I was also a massive Bruce Lee fan which led me to pursue the martial arts.
I tried several styles but none of them looked like what Bruce Lee did! I eventually found Wing Chun Kung Fu and on my first class my instructor asked me to throw a punch at him. He sidestepped and moved so effortlessly and efficiently I knew this was something special. I spent 20 years training with my instructor who was a student of Ip Chun – the Son of Ip Man (Bruce Lee’s teacher). Little did I know at the time but I had found a direct lineage leading back to Bruce Lee’s teacher himself! That’s pretty powerful attraction!
Balance In Life
Life’s all about balance though and I was neglecting many other areas of my life in the pursuit of what I considered the holy grail – the best job, or some kind of ‘cool’ job! This pursuit came at the expense of holidays, money, family, relationships and a happy home life. I watched my friends start families and buy houses when I was still in my late 30’s working for minimum wage on a building yard waiting for work to come in.
I later came to realise that it was my programming which was keeping me broke and miserable. I was never good enough for myself and I always looked at others who were far more successful than me. The result was a low self esteem and a poor self image (read Maxwell Maltz Psycho-cybernetics).
I was also always stressed when I was working too! It was stressful not knowing where the next job came from and from working too! I picked up a few injuries as well.
Another Great Idea
I was scouting the internet for ideas to solve my biggest problem and found a video of a guy called Stuart Ross who had built an online business. An online business seemed like a good solution to my problems. It let me work around the stunt business when there was no work, and drop it when the work came in.
I joined Stuart’s online community and learned a number of strategies for making money from the internet. It wasn’t plain sailing of course but I had The Law Of Attraction to help! I soon learned how I held myself back in a number of ways once I joined the community and started getting help from online business mentors like Jay and Stuart themselves, the founders of the company.
