I think it's that the LoA is about how your actions (and thinking being an action) get you things.
When riding a motorcycle and taking a turn at high speed, you need to look where you want to go, not where you don't want to go - because you'll end up going where you look. Same is true in auto racing. If you start sliding, your tendency is to look where you're headed, not where you want to go. Chances are that you'll panic, lock the brakes, not be able to turn, and skid right into the tire wall or tree. This is not unlike how the LoA works. By learning how it works and how to apply the principles correctly, you learn where to look and where not to look.
The idea behind believing anything is possible is so that you don't place limits on your thinking. If no one believed that flying was possible, then we wouldn't have airplanes. Or to use my above example, to believe it's possible to look in any direction you like.
And I do agree with you, people tend to go overboard with this stuff.
