It’s a smart marketing gimmick so they can church out a $34.99 DVD set.

I’m sure the starving people of Africa can use the Law of Attraction to get some food in their stomach. How about people who die from car accidents? I’m sure they wake up in the morning, do a couple of “I will attract a drunk driver today, where he’ll ram his SUV into the driver’s side, killing me instantly”.

Law of Attraction? More like the Law Of Wishful Thinking.

Now … don’t get me wrong. I actually use the Law of Attraction to get some stuff that was too specific to be a mere coincidence.

Law of Attraction does work … even ought it’s somewhat over exaggerated. Remember, visualization and affirmation without action is merely wishful thinking. Kinda like day dreaming. Fantasizing.

To me, success comes from just DOING it WITHOUT DOUBTING IF SUCCESS IS POSSIBLE. So I skip the unnecessary affirmations, prayers and visualizations.

I admit, I do fail at a lot of things. But who doesn’t? But I also notice that once I plow through the failures, success is inevitable.

But I guess it’s up to the individual, use whatever works.
