The Secret and the Law of Attraction
The Secret, the movie based on the Law of Attraction has been fantastically successful since it's launch in 2005. The promise is a simple one, by focusing on the things that you really want in life, by using visualization you 'attract' or 'manifest 'them into your life. But are we any closer to establishing whether it actually 'works' or not?
The subject is certainly a divisive one, mention 'The Secret' to someone and you will either get an enthusiastic conversation or else you might find yourself being ridiculed for holding such 'airy-fairy' beliefs.
Many people who believe in the power of the Law of Attraction in manifesting the things that they want in their lives do rather let themselves down in their attempt at explaining how the process works. They introduce quantum mechanics into favor of their argument. This is a major no-no, and here's why.
Do you fully understand quantum mechanics? No, I did not think so, and nor do I. Nor, I am reasonably certain, do any of those people who use concepts that very few people in the world can claim to understand to back up their view-point. The reason they use the 'Quantum Mechanics' arguments to underpin their reasoning is that certain speakers in the movie of 'The Secret' used it. I personally do not think the theory holds any water, and a quick Google on this subject will show you that most of the scientific community would agree with me. so, we will leave it there.
If you have read this far, you could have forgiven for thinking that I am a naysayer, that I am about to tell you that I believe 'The Secret' to be poppycock and a complete and utter waste of time. Not so.
I actually do believe that it DOES work, not in the way that some people would have you believe, but work it most certainly does.
I am not just talking about positive thing here either, it does much, much deeper than that.
The largest question to ask is why the Law of Attraction looks to work for some people and yet others achieve spectacular results time after time. Are these people someone just 'luckier'? Who do they have achieved those results with 'The Secret'?
The answer is a simple one, those people who have failed to make the 'Law of Attraction' work in manifesting money, or attraction a life partner or any one of a million things people wish for is that they lack one vital element.
They do not know how to do it.
Let's face it, if you do something the wrong way once or a hundred times, you are going to get the same results. so they just assume that the 'Law of Attractrion' is a myth and give up. What they do not know is, using a few simple techniques can make the difference between success and failure.
There are an increasing amount of well thought out, intelligent works out there that fill the knowledge gap and can help people to use the Law of Attraction to manifest into their lives the people and things that they really deserve, which anyone struggling to make 'The Secret 'work for them would be well advised to seek out.
