Law of Attraction

Hi All,

I've spoken to some people regarding this as of late and read a little as well as watching videos on Youtube, however does it work or is success related to it simply coincidental?

    Some things you can positively influence by the way you approach them, your thought processes and actions, but other things will always remain outside of your complete control. I think success related to law of attraction is coincidental personally.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Sounds like a load of floaty-carpet nonsense bolted onto the well-established truth that a confident approach and positive thinking can affect the outcomes of events in your life.

    If you focus your thoughts on achieving something, you probably change the way you behave and do things which may lead to your wishes coming true.

    If you don't know what to say after all your 'research' (which you didn't even bother to share), how do you expect others to add anything more?

    It was basically watching a few tutorials by Bob Proctor and listening to a few people who have said things changed for them when they began to think differently.

    Sorry I find this concept confusing which is why I was looking for a fresh perspective.

    That's it - thinking changes behaviour which results in changes in your life.

    Are you researching a paper or something?

    You have started this thread like a teacher issuing an essay subject for homework.

    You haven't even explained what the 'law of attraction' is thought to be... so if people didn't know, then they'd have to research it first.

    You say you find it confusing... why do you need to understand it?

    I'm just interested, I don't want this to go into a debate. I was more interested in getting views of people who may have experienced it.
