The Law of Vibration states:
"Your thoughts control your personal vibration. Change your thoughts, get emotional about them, and you'll change what is attracted to you."

Our thoughts are energy. And because energy vibrates, every thought we have sends out a signal—just like a radio wave—looking for its match to return to us. That’s the law at work. When we feel discouraged or depressed, it’s simply a sign that we’re operating at a lower vibration… and we need to raise it.

One of the most effective ways I’ve found to do this is when I’m reading my goal statement for the week.
Now, it didn’t start out as a high-vibe experience. I was repeating my goal statement 10 times a day, just like I was supposed to—but I’ll be honest, it felt awkward at first. I was more focused on getting through the reps and checking the box than on what I was actually saying.

Then one day, I was reviewing my checklist and read this question:
“Did you say your goal statement with energy and enthusiasm?”
And I had to admit—nope. I was just glad to get it over with.

So I decided to give it a try. I started reading my goal statement with energy. I emphasized different words. I added enthusiasm. Honestly, I probably looked ridiculous—but something amazing happened…

I felt lifted.
I felt energized.
I felt better.
And most importantly… I started to believe what I was saying.

Even on days when things felt off or heavy, this simple practice of speaking my goals with power helped shift my energy—and that shifted everything. I discovered that if you tell yourself your goals and dreams out loud, with enthusiasm, you can literally retrain your subconscious mind to think higher and aim better.

Let me share an experience that drove this principle home for me.

There’s a group of boys my son’s age who are incredibly talented in sports. For years, a handful of dads organized special teams, and while about 10–12 boys were regularly chosen, my son (and a few others) were often left out. It was discouraging—for them and for us. And over time, it started to wear on me.

But about a year ago, I made a choice. I decided to stop carrying those negative feelings. I started telling myself how much I liked the boys and their parents—and guess what? Things began to shift.

Fast forward to this summer: my son went to a basketball camp. The other group of boys had signed up to play in the “Summer Games,” so they arrived a day late. On the first day, there were only 4 boys his age, and my son felt embarrassed and left out for not being invited to the Games. He struggled to focus. He got in the car afterward nearly in tears.

I knew we needed to change his vibration.

The next morning, before camp, I started asking him questions:

• Have you made a foul shot before?

• Are you going to make more?

• Have you made a three-pointer?

• Have you driven the ball to the hoop? Played great defense?

He began to nod. “Yeah... yeah, I have.”

I said, “Great. We’re going to raise your vibration today so you can attract better things into your life.”

Since he was familiar with the principles, he got it.

Then I said, “Say, ‘I am a great basketball player.’”
He said it—but barely. I asked, “Do you believe it when you say it like that?”
He admitted, “No, not really.”

So I told him, “Say it like this: ‘I AM A GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER!’”
He laughed. “I can’t do that.”

“Yes, you can,” I said. “I say a goal statement every day, out loud, and it works!”

So we kept going. We said it again and again on the way to camp.
We added: “I am an AMAZING and GREAT basketball player!”

We laughed, we had fun, and the energy shifted.

I told him that if he heard any negative words, or started to feel discouraged, to repeat that phrase in his mind. I encouraged him to be kind to everyone—especially the other boys—and to give compliments when someone did a great job. Why? Because the good you give out always comes back.

I reminded him to look at the coach, even if the coach wasn’t looking directly at him. “Listen carefully,” I said. “Follow through.”

That afternoon, when I picked him up, he was smiling. Camp had gone great!
He even noticed how some of the boys were being unkind to a teammate who was struggling—and it bothered him. He wanted to build others up. Even the coach noticed and said he’d had a better day.

The Law of Vibration WORKS.
