What Are Your Thoughts on Law of Attraction?

Have you heard of “The Secret?” What are your thoughts on the “Law of Attraction?”
I saw the Oprah special and I have the book, I find it intriguing. The experts make it sound so easy but its hard to digest….
Lucid’s Thoughts:
I am new to Law of Attraction in the sense of its formality. I believe in what goes around, comes around. I believe everything we feel, or do starts with a thought; so taking the positive approach is definitely beneficial. However, the concept of constantly thinking positive thoughts is a difficult thing to do. It takes a lot to retrain your thought process. If you can do it, and it works for you, then go for it.
I read a post about how Positive Thinking Is Not Enough and there were some good thoughts being exchanged. This post describes how you can think positive all you want, but if your are not feeling positively, it won’t work. I think this is where everyone, who is new to LOA, gets a little frustrated, or even lost. The idea behind this post, may be part of the reason why it happens.
Personally, I go by my gut feelings. I go by the messages, or signals sent and received through my Solar Plexis, which is one of the seven Chakras
I am not against it. The Law of Attraction has some validating points, and I don’t want to come off sounding negative, I am just staying real within my own life. Some of the beliefs on being responsible for your thoughts, and actions within a situation is a good way to live your life.
* My extended thoughts here would be: If I was someone who knew nothing else but poverty, drugs, and crime, and someone said, “If you follow the Laws of Attraction, your life will be fine,” I believe there would be a difference of opinion. I think it is a little more involved then that. Sure the positive thoughts, and inspiring phrases are good to live by, but…
It definitely works for some, I just don’t think we can say all. There are a few good blogs discussing LOA. If you are interested Abundance Journal seems to be one of the better ones I visit.

I don’t know what to call the way I live my life I just do it. I heard of this book and that it was being promoted on oprah and then it was every where. I guess maybe I should by it to see what all the hype is about.
My life has been a good one so far so I must be doing something right

My belief is that the law of attraction is operating in our lives every moment.
It’s just that we may not be consciously utilizing this powerful law to our advantage, because we don’t know how.
I have been searching the net for more info on how to apply this law in my life.
Happy attracting

I think the power of the universe can be willed but only to a certain point. I live my life appreciating EVERYTHING I have and I take on my responsibilities always.

Hi Michuael,
I am working on it.
Thank you for your wishes. I am working on accepting/ receiving things. I am usually the giver, so this is a process for me.

I think I should buy the book too Cheri. If not for anything else, but just so I know what everyone is chatting about
Like I said before, the formality of it all is new to me. I have always lived my life as positively as possible, it’s labeling it that is new to me.

Hi Ken,
You are right, whether we acknowledge the “law” or not, what we put out there, is there. What we get back, if undirected, could end up a mystery.
We should utilize all that is available to us so that the life we live is the best possible.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Hi Randy,
I have to agree with you, and maybe this is where part of my problem is. I believe the universe is abundant, but how it gets divided or distributed is confusing. Does it mean the more one person wills it the more they get? What hapens if one person deserves it more then the next but they don’t receive…. I don’t know. I think this is where my faith in God comes into play. He knows what is best for me always.
Thanks for sharing!

[...] I had a reader write in and ask my opinion on Law of Attraction What Are Your Thoughts on Law of Attraction and at that point I had only dabbled in it, but not too knowledgeable in its’ formality. I have always lived my life as positively as possible, and I always try to be aware of my thoughts and feelings, it’s labeling all of it that is new to me. [...]
