The Law of Attraction Can Suck

The awareness of Law of Attraction reached its peak after the release of the film The Secret in 2006.  Then the book Law of Attraction regarding the basic teachings of Abraham was one of New York Times Best Sellers which drew more attention on the topic.

Historically the Law of Attraction has a variety of definitions although initially relating to physical structure and how matter develops.  Yet more modern consensus among new age thinkers is Law of Attraction indicates people though process.  Essentially you get what you really want if you believe in it. 

Some have blown the concept way out of proportion.  For example in the movie The Secret it was said that if you see yourself with a movie star – will he/she show up at your door the next day?  It doesn’t work like that nor do I think the writers intended us to believe in magical and/or spiritual miracles that will happen each time you make a wish on the Genie’s lamp. 

I think that’s where the Law of Attraction can “suck” for some people.  Those who have misunderstood what the Law of Attraction is really about.

It’s neither about making three wishes that will be granted nor believing so much that you’ll marry the next celebrity and be in love for life; just because you believed in it so much you magically made it come true.

The Law of Attraction is very real and goes much deeper than that.

It’s about self awareness and the way you perceive the world around you. 

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you are a negative person.  You see others who are taller than you’d like to be so in your heart you are jealous of them.  The taller person walks by you and you don’t even realize the look on your face.  They see your sneer and react to it.  They may scoff back or even simply ignore you. 

You don’t think you feel negative toward this person and in fact your feelings against taller people might be so deep seeded you don’t even realized you turned your nose up at them. 

So then you take the “victim” role and think to yourself, “See, people just don’t like me.  All I get is crap from other people and I don’t get it.”

 So you perceive others as jerks.   Nobody cares about you and nobody wishes to even get close to you.  You have no clue why other than the world is a nasty place.

Well, it’s true the world is a nasty place if that’s what you make of it.  Its true people don’t like you and especially taller people.  That’s what you’ve made around you. 

So my point is this; you get what you give.  That’s as simple as I can explain the Law of Attraction for our new age thinking. 

Now does it go any deeper than that?

I feel it can, yes.

Not magic, but to master how to attract others or what you want in life can happen.  It’s like when you’re a child and you see yourself having limitless opportunities in life.

The older you get the smaller your world of opportunities may appear.

Think about it.

Most of us believed we could do anything we put our minds to when we were toddlers.  Maybe even still as teens.

Yet hardships in life happen and then we start to “think” that’s just what reality is.  Limits.

Essentially “we” limit ourselves.  Not the world or other people, businesses or jobs.  It ultimately falls on our shoulders what we choose to believe we can or we “will” make happen.

The Law of Attraction isn’t about magic, it’s about “working” toward something you believe you’ll make come true … and it will as long as you keep working toward it.

So with your own business product or MLM opportunity, online store or your own bricks and mortar business that it will become a success if you keep working toward it.  No matter the hurtle in life or business, it’s up to you to figure out the angle around that obstacle to get by it in order to achieve your goals.

It may not be as easy as “magic” dust, but with the right tools, calculations, having patience and the willingness to learn from previous mistakes, your dreams can come true.

Besides, the more you are successful, a strong leader, a “positive” thinker the more “fun” it will be to be around you.  Others will “desire” to feed off your positive energy and maybe even give back to you because you’ve made them feel good.
