Essentially, I agree.

I do not think that with the LOA, I will get anything I want. After all, I do not have perfect control of my thoughts.

However, the proposition here is that the better you are able to consciously control and direct your thoughts, the more you will be able to influence and direct your reality, in ways that are pleasing to yourself.

So there are limits. For instance, perhaps I can't make the sun disappear, but I could possibly make a wide variety of my personal problems disappear. You see?
