Default Practical LOA by ALG - When Not To Ask for Miracles

Some people believe that LOA is "magical". Others believe that it's just a form of positive thinking that helps you notice more opportunities, motivate yourself etc. This is a long-running difference in view, and my present post is not to rehash it.

After all, this is Practical LOA by ALG.

If you want to achieve a certain goal, and there is a well-known, clear-cut, commonsensical, effective and non-LOA way to do it, I would recommend that you use that way. Then simply use LOA as an aid & tool, to help you along the way.

For example, suppose you wish to lose weight. If you eat less and exercise more, you will lose weight. Plain & simple. So do it.

Then use LOA, IM, Abraham's Processes etc etc to help you along the way. For example, to help you stick to your diet; to find low-fat delicious meals; to motivate yourself to exercise; to find a form of exercise or new sport that you really enjoy etc etc.

Don't just sit around on the sofa and eat your usual potato chips and keep thinking "I am thin, I am thin, I am thin ....". It may work, but you are definitely stacking the odds against yourself.

Use LOA in the "magical" way, for intentions where the steps towards fulfilling your goal are beyond your control (in the non-LOA sense of the word "control") or not for you to take (eg they depend on someone else) or where you simply don't know what you shold do next.
