Discussion: Law of Attraction

Jberg

Quote:

The Law of Attraction is one of the better known laws. The theory behind the Law of Attraction is that we create our own realities. We attract things we want and we also attract things we don't want. We attract the people in our lives, the stuff in our homes, and the money in our bank accounts through our thoughts and feelings.

Do you agree? Do you "attract" the things in your life?

Funnily enough, I just finished reading the book

I'm not too sure if I really agree with it that much to be honest. I'm trying to adopt it just to give it a shot but I'm still unsure about it.

I'm not too sure if I really agree with it that much, but some of the processes involved work really well (like the contrast method).

True.
I am conflicted; now, I am thinking about how to get rid of the "bad things" I've attracted. lol.

I don't believe it...

I've read the stupid book + the movie. I've tried it and I know that I shouldn't stop trying, but I'm just not that type of person to make myself believe it. And I'm usually very realistic/pessimistic, so it'd never work for me anyway.

I do believe though that people who are (successfully) doing this could be happier, if that makes any sense. Just having that attitude (not necessaryly getting what you want, just being more positive) would automatically make you happier, I think.

I think it's circumstantial for most of the part, but I like the overall belief that your thoughts control your actions, and furthermore what happens around you. Basically a more positive attitude = a more positive response to people and things around you. Your mood/thoughts control your surroundings and ultimately, you yourself

It is partially true.

I agree.

It's mainly just about radiating positive energy towards the things you want. It has made me think a lot more optimistically about things and how to eliminate bad energy, but I always try to stay realistic about things

I have the book as well and I can fairly say that the "you attract everything in your life" shouldn't be taken literally, but it should be considered as a rule of thumb to stay positive. Thinking negative doesn't get you anywhere. Aim for your goals and never cut short of your resolve.

All in all it's just a testimony to positive thinking. And it's been a benefit to me, at least.

I want my life to be happier and less stressful, it's not. I want my bank account to have seven or eight 0's behind that 6 instead of just 3, but where is that? I want this guy that i've had a thing with but we're not together, see where i'm going with this? This is just a bunch of bull. I mean maybe if I thought happy thoughts al the time (which is quite impossible) then maybe, but no.

No this is just pseudo-scientific bollocks.
