The Law of Attraction.... Do you use it?

Hey everybody, I have been hearing a lot of this Law Of Attraction lately, and after reading the book, Think and Grow Rich, it seems to connect. I am curious to anybody out what you think about the Law of Attraction, and if you use it, how do you personally put it to or make it work?? Any stories using this law??

Would you think that principles from Think and Grow Rich are the same? Im also curious - so if you dont believe in the Law of attraction - do you practice anything similar or if you dont, what do you do to push yourself?

By the way - your blog looks nice and probably pretty successful, definitly interesting - anything that pushes you to create something like your blog to be great?

I don't believe in that either. Yes, the more you think about something, the more you will figure out ways to make it happen(ofcourse). When you want something bad enough, you start making actions toward it, and work towards it....if that's what the law of attraction means, then well it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Most of the time I think people just try to make money by telling us something we already know in a sly different way.

I believe in the law of attraction and I use it EVERYDAY. I start my mornings on YouTube watching inspirational videos and listen to Kiyosaki tapes in my car when I need to. If I don't, my days are completely spent wasting time.

That is the law of attraction! Yes, it's simple. It's not rocket science. I believe this topic is a hoax since everyone uses the law of attraction willingly or unwillingly.

Are you rich?

Has anything bad happened to you lately?

How is it a hoax if people use it? I think what you said was a juxtaposition (not sure as I'm trying to improve my vocabulary) - but it definetally wasn't right!

It is really about the right mentality and drums down to the good old saying of 'think before you act'. (Thoughts ---> Emotions ---> Actions ---> Results)

Most people are dictated by their current reality and what they see through their eyes, as opposed to their vision.

The Law Of Attraction is just some new phase ever since The Secret became so popular.

I don't think you can just manifest a mansion and 5 new cars by using The Law of Attraction.

We are all entitled to have an opinion, whether it is informed or not is another thing altogether. I won't go back and start dropping names and achievements, etc... however, I will mention that Jim Rohn was a master at teaching personal development and is highly acclaimed for his work.

I'd have to argue the validity of your comments as I believe your understanding of personal development is minute, as mine is of nutrition. To slander the Law of Attraction is to slander personal development, and to me that doesn't make any justified sense as you seem to quote a personal development guru???

Sure I believe in personal development.

However, people are using The Law of Attraction as if it's a religion.

The Law of Attraction basically entitles you to being your own personal god.

The Law of Attraction also can attract "bad" things in your life. I wouldn't call this personal development.

You can develop a better financial state of mind without "The Secret".
