    What are your thoughts on the Law of Attraction?

    The title pretty much says it all...A lot of works, such as Think and Grow Rich and The Secret, focus on how powerful the mind can be when it comes to one's future. The Secret goes as far as to say that the universe will actually conspire to give you what you think.

    What are your thoughts?

    When I first started in entrepreneurship 7 years ago I was naturally "attracted" to the Law of Attraction because it implied that you can make things happen simply by thinking about them.

    This is exactly why I no longer talk about or promote anything that has to do with attraction. It is misleading and can give new entrepreneurs a false impression.

    Success in anything takes effort...a goal, a plan, a process, and focused work.

    There are no shortcuts to success. You do the work and get the result. Period.
    To success,

    You are viewing it the incorrect way.

    Thoughts = Feelings = Action = Results

    Thoughts and Feelings are apart of the inner world. Action and Results are apart of the outer world. So, for you to manifest your thoughts into Results which are apart of the outer world then you need to take Action in the outer world.

    Notice Action is part of the equation. However, it is not just your thoughts it is the feeling you have behind that thought.

    Our human body is filled with cells containing energy. In addition each cell is made up of molecules and these molecules are made up of atoms with protons, neutrons and electrons. What are the atoms made of? Sub-atomic particles.Sub-atomic particles are pure energy. Hence our body is one big piece of energy and so is everything else in the universe.

    Law of Attraction insists that all things similar in nature will naturally gravitate to one another and magnetize one another into their own field. This applies to all things in the Universe. Thought is energy and it is magnetic to those things with a similar vibration.

    Like attracts like. When you think about that house you want, you have to have great feeling behind your thought. You need to match your thought frequencies to the frequencies of that house.

    I have been studying universal laws for quite some time and believe me I was skeptical in the beginning. Now I view and live this life in a totally different outlook.

    The Secret was a good introduction to the Law of Attraction. However, they made it appear thought = manifestation. They just didn't emphasize the other parts of the equation enough.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Thoughts Become Things.


    Thoughts opperate at a frequency which holds a weight. anything with a mass is a "thing" .

    It ties into quantum physics, but i believe the only reason people do not look into these further is because they don't understand them.

    It sounds far fetched but just try it, apply it, study it, what do you have to loose?

    The Laws Of Attraction are as real as the Laws of Gravity believe it or not its still at work

    I feel the Law of Attraction is quite important. I actually talk about Universal Laws a good bit in a bunch of my blog posts on personal development and lifestyle design.

    Recently, I have used the Law of Attraction in my recent and free eBook called The Inspiration Manifesto: Secret Inspirational Techniques Revealed. Pretty much you just want to be around the people and things that you want. This in turn changes your thoughts which results in positive actions and outcomes.

    Wow, it's nice to see this conversation. If you haven't seen the dvd "What the Bleep is Going On" then consider it. It was a pre-cursor as were many highly regarded books over the last couple thousand years to "The Secret". I like the quantum mechanics/physics side of it all.

    Yes, that was a good movie as well. The interesting thing is when people blow off the idea of Law of Attraction and say this it is some new age baloney, they are being very narrow minded.

    Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was published in 1937!!!!

    The Science of Getting Rich was published in 1910!!!!

    I'm familiar with everything you're talking about here, but the fact is that entrepreneurs don't need any of this stuff to be successful. In fact, I would consider it a distraction and waste of time for most.

    You need to know what you want and then you need skills, mentors, and a process to get there. Cut and dry. Plain and simple.

    Less than 5% of the millionaires I've met and have come to know well (more than three dozen) are not students of what you teach and yet still they are successful because they have skills, they had mentors, and they followed a process. It's not magic. It's consistent effort towards a desired outcome. You can be negative or positive about it.
    To success,
