It's that liking to think that is the problem. |
Going at personal development in a big-time way by investing lots of time and effort (even if it's fun effort) and getting much bigger results than previously. Is that the reason for success, or is it law of attraction?
It is difficult to conclude whether a gigantic unexpected bonus at work is the result of being a very valuable employee (acting in "the certain way"), or LoA. Or is it the same thing?

A great deal of success in the lifestyle experiments reported here (of the "I made millions!" kind) can be thought of in terms of this theory, which I might call the "Weak Law of Attraction". If you set your mind to doing something, you unconsciously and consciously instigate all manner of events that you would not by thinking it unlikely, and those events set off other events. By thinking positively, feeling confident, etc., you make those around you notice you more and respond to you more willingly and obligingly. Those inclined to believe in magic will interpret the results in mystical terms, but there are sound, scientific, material reasons why most of these effects take place.

To me, though, this really is Law of Attraction. It is a way of being.
