There's a fun little example of the Law of Attraction in action today in an L.A. Times interview with the fabulous Herbie Hancock. He is the first jazz artist in 43 years to win for Best Album, and it's probably the lowest-selling winner in that category in history.

I like that he is focusing on the "way of being" approach (encouragement) to attracting what he wants:

Quote:
But given the other nominees, you had to be considered a long shot. How did you deal with that?

I started thinking what would be the purpose of my receiving that Grammy. If it's just for my own ego to get another Grammy, that's nice. I like getting Grammys. Who wouldn't? But I already had 10 Grammys. And I never did make music to get Grammys. You don't get into jazz for reasons like that. And then it became clear to me what a great mark it would be for jazz and for the jazz community. It would call attention to it and it would be encouraging to younger musicians. So I started chanting three hours a day, seeing images of myself receiving the award.

And it worked?

Well, I got the award.
