Life Changing Mindset

Does the law of attraction really work or is this overrated?

I have heard people using the law of attraction and they are saying it is really working for them. I really want to believe that "the secret" is real but I feel like it also might be wishful thinking. Is there any basis for this theory? Has it been proven?

1. its all speculation..

2. The law of attraction has consciously worked in all areas of my life. It works unconsciously all the time. Just like gravity. Just because you cannot see it or feel it etc. Doesn't make it any We all believe in gravity, yet you can pick it up. We know the wind exists but you can't buy it. Everybody believes in hours and minutes, yet they are man-made.

This world is full of things which are difficult to explain. But if those in power where to acknowledge this, it would complicate their lives. That's why they deny the existence of anything mysterious or strange. However deep in their hearts, everybody knows it. That's why LOA is so popular.

Here's the deal. The law of attraction is just more than thinking things. There are several steps involved. This is the problem, most people only do some of the steps. The one most people miss out or avoid is the 'work' step. This is because they equate work with school,pain, something they don't like or a job. Even 'The Secret' spent at most 20 seconds on it. Work doesn't sell well.

There is more than enough of everything for everybody. When people start wanting something, nobody else misses out. What many forget is they all come to the table with their different beliefs about what they want and what they think is possible. To supercharge your results you need to resolve or dissolve your negative beliefs about what it is that you want.

People think if I think this once, then it will happen. That only happens for most people with phobias. LOA is a numbers game. It's about the universe giving you lot of opportunities to get what you want. Yet, if you have beliefs about it, you'll not notice all all of the opportunities until you are ready.

EFT, really helps me, resolving and dissolving my beliefs about what is possible. If you always think, like you have always thought i.e. logically. You'll end up getting the logical results. Change your thinking, changes your results.

If your end result is strong enough and not just a whim, the waiting will not matter. You only end up waiting because you actually don't think what you want is possible for you.

3. to me whether the law of attraction works or it does not IT DOES NOT MATTER TO ME. I DO NOT CARE. the only thing that is important to me is to do the best i can with life. do whatever is in my ability and power to be happy. i wake up everyday with this intention. if i have to suffer in life so be it. i just try the best i can. that is my point of view.

4. The law of attraction Does Work and It Does Not Work. It all depends on many factors. For Example: If you leave in Beverly Hills and start dreaming about new Mercedes Benz, you probably will get it the same night. No so fast in case if you are in Siberia or Africa and you don’t have something for to eat... .

It also may depend on your definition of what Law of attraction means. What is your definition of Law of attraction? Is it all about thinking and whishing?

But let me go to the core of your question first. It seems to me are asking for any solid proof, data, research and hard core evidences - are there any of it exist to proof the LAW of attraction? I may understand where you are coming from: the word LAW mean more than a theory, isn’t it?
The LAW of attraction is HYPOTETICAL law. It is different by its nature than, let say laws of Physics, or laws of chemistry, or law of gravitation. The law of gravitation can be repeated, measured, and validated: it works 100% time in 100 instances. Terms such as Repeatability and Validity can be applied to the law of gravitation. Not so with "LAW" of Attraction. In that sense the LAW of Attraction - is only marketing trick of the author to bring stronger title. This title is misleading to the subject of the book.

If you start testing a law of attraction, I will not surprise if you find that it works the same way as astrology or palm reading or positive thinking.

People quite often don’t know how to distinguish pseudo science and science. They often assume that "correlation" between the facts is the same as "association". No wonder why you will not find scientifically solid research with hard core data analysis on this subject.

Now, let me speak from completely another angel. Let’s say you want to use the law of attraction in some practical way. Let say you want to grow your business, increase your profit and so on. You may consider if there is any mechanism already existed to help you amplify what you are looking for. And let say by pure accident you found a system that use attraction marketing methods, that is basically the law of attraction applied to the business model, such as http://6fiu.com . You watch some videos on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBqE8m0Q6Mk – is a great example, do some hard work, and what should you expect? You definitely will be able to change your chances to attract what you want in this scenario.

Do I contradict myself? Not at all. There is much more to the "LAW of Attraction" than what many think what it is.

Yes, It depend on the definition of what the "LAW" and "Attraction" means to you. Is there "Universal" Law of Attraction that fits everyone in every circumstances in every situation on the planet Earth? Now I think you know the answer.

5. The law of attraction does work, but unfortunately, many people misunderstand it. There are many different interpretations. The main thing that many people who believe in the law of attraction miss is the "action" part. Many people if they ask, believe, show gratitude, visualize, they will achieve what they want. While these things are important and have to be done, you have to take action some how and somewhere.

For example, if you want to make 1,000,000 a year, you have to take action to be able to make that much money. It is not going to drop at you from the sky. In my article "how to make the law of attraction work for you" which can be found here:

I explained what you need to do to make the law of attraction work.
