Isn’t the whole ethos of LoA based on selling the idea of manifesting dreams? Why do some people dream? Because they are not happy with what they've got and they want more – enter LoA.
I'm not too much of a LoAist, I do try to understand what that mindset is.

I too have wondered about what makes someone dream. Or look for more. That is an interesting point to look at. Would the question would be "what makes one desire something they don't have?"

It it really necessary to not be happy with what you have to change or desire something else (not necessarily more)?

Does having the mindset, that one must be unhappy to want something else, work? Or is it easier to, and possible, to be happy but also desire something else?

Maybe most change comes for not wanting what you currently have. If you like your apartment and want a house - that says something about the apt. Right? It says you are growing out of the apt, that it doesn't give you what you are looking for, right? Maybe it doesn't say you don't like your apt, but it may say the apt is not fitting what you desire. just wondering out loud here...
