The Myth of the Law of Attraction
By karen | September 22, 2008
(I can just hear the Mama’s and the Papa’s a singing away, can’t you? Blah, blah….blah, blah, blah, blah)
Ever have one of those days? It doesn’t necessarily have to be a Monday…any day of the week will do. Just one of those days when you just can’t keep your feet on the ground. You just keep floating up into the air and flying around and around in the atmosphere and you just float all over the place. It is just such a struggle to stick to the earth. It’s just one of those days when no matter how hard you try, you just can not make that damn Law of Gravity work!!
Ever have one of those days?
No, I didn’t think so. Gravity works.
And it is the same as with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction works.
It works every time. It works for everybody. It works. Just like gravity works, the Law of Attraction works.
When you hear someone say “the Law of Attraction is just not working for me”, you can be sure that they are having some deep misunderstanding about what exactly the Law of Attraction is because if it works for some but not for others or if it works for me but it doesn’t work for you, or if it works on Friday but not on Monday (Monday, Monday blah, blah…..again!) then it would not be a Universal Law and it would just be a myth. The myth of the Law of Attraction! I know, some of the Naysayers and the skeptics are cheering right now!
The Law of Attraction states that “like attracts like”. That means that you will attract into your life the vibrational equivalent of the thoughts that you think.
The Law of Attraction is just a way of describing how the world works and how the Universe comes up to meet you.
So if you want more money but you are lamenting the fact that you don’t have enough money, or you want to find love but you are thinking about how hard it is to meet someone…..
The Universe cannot rendezvous with you and meet you because the Law of Attraction can only bring to you what you are vibrating and unfortunately you are stuck in the “complaining for what you have now mode” instead of the “focusing on what you really want mode”.
You don’t get what you want, you get what you focus upon. You get what you vibrate.
So if you want the Law of Attraction and the Universe to rendezvous with you, you have to focus upon what You want!
That is why processes like gratitude, pray-rain journals and vision boards or one of my favorite everyday rituals - the rampage of appreciation can be so successful, because they take your mind out of the reality that you don’t want and help you to direct your thoughts and vibrations back to the end results–which is what you do want.
The Law of Attraction is a Universal law. It works for me and it works for you. But in order to make it work in your favor you have to play by the right rules.

Yes, gratitude and appreciation go a long way in helping you get what you want and also in helping you love what you have.

Not only that…Gratitude and Appreciation just FEEL GOOD!
(and everybody loves to FEEL GOOD!)
Thanks for stopping by!

What a great article and so much the truth. You have to feel good in order to attract the positive. If you have a very dark soul, then you will only attract that negative energy. I even try to stay away people who feister in negative energy. I love the light of feeling good. This article you have here is head on.
