Law of Attraction - The Myth Behind the Secret
Thomas Turner
The Law of Attraction is getting a lot of coverage these days. It is sort of like positive affirmations but with a different concept. The outcome is similar but the idea behind it is the difference.
The Law of Attraction is imagining something you want deep in your mind. What they are trying to imply is that through the power of your mind the universe will pick it up and give you what you want.
For example, let's say you are very poor and want to have more money. The Law of Attraction says that if you visualize yourself making more money, somehow, it will come to you.
Sounds like magic, but it really isn't. It is the power of positive thinking. While this concept may help many people achieve many things, there are some common misconceptions about it. The Law of Attraction is a mental technique that draws things, or attracts them, to you. No magic. No unexplained phenomenon. No mysteries.
While there are many scientist who doubt this technique, because there is no scientific proof of anything, it does work. Your mind is powerful and no one can doubt that. There are hundreds even thousands of real people out there that will tell you it all works. They will also tell you that there is no miracle to it. All you do is imagine your life and yourself in a better place, and in some way the want you have is attracted to you.
This concept of positive reinforcement is achieved through abilities we can all learn easily including positive thinking, optimism and biased interpretation. All of these components are tangible, real and time tested. Even science has said that thinking in a positive manner can have dramatic effects on perception and forward motion. In short, it works and works well, folks.
Some of the false information offered includes:
Celebrities and rich people knew a 'secret' that helped them achieve their goals and success. Problem is that there is absolutely no proof of that being the case.
That waves of energy emanate from your brain and physically affect the world around you. This is PARTLY true. Waves of electromagnetic energy DO emanate from the brain; however they have no physical effect on the world around you. Further, it is taught that these waves of energy encompass the entire earth. None of this is evidenced with any proof or corroboration.
For many people they imagine the law of attraction working like a cosmic vending machine and it doesn't. You can't keep everything you want at the front of your mind. You will just stress yourself out. You can't imagine a pretty red Italian sports car in your drive way and expect it to be there the next morning. That's not how it all works. The power of positivity and your mind will give you the opportunities you need for you to go out there and get what you want.
Like the saying goes 'God helps those that help themselves'. So help yourself wherever and whenever you can.
You need to keep in mind that your universe and the stars don't bring you what you want you need to go and grab it.
The idea is to change yourself and, in turn, change your situation.
