Old the phone here guys because I agree* with you to a certain extent.

*I'll admit that thoughts come before actions, of course.

BUT (and it's big one) I know from firsthand experience that some people never get beyond thinking. Just *thinking* about getting something or achieving it doesn't on its own create that in reality.

I think this is my biggest issue with the law of attraction, it annoys me intensely that it's being rolled out as the be all and end all to the world's problems. Like if you don't like the situation you're in just send out some nice thoughts and you'll quit your crappy day job.

We all know, hand on heart, that it just simply doesn't work like this.

We can all discuss to the ends of the earth and have 11 pages of debate about the ins and outs but the way LOA is being bandied about is misleading I think. It's almost debased itself to a level of simple "wishful thinking".
